Here is my latest and greatest mapping for Traktor's Sample Decks using the Akai APC20. I have one action button per sample deck that changes it's function based on which modifies are engaged. I have 8 mods: Load, Play, Mute, Retrigger, Erase, Load from List, Copy from Loop Recorder, and Group mode.

On each Sample Deck I can halve, double, and reset the length of the loop, as well as sync the Sample Deck to the Master Tempo. I can also toggle between One Shot and Looped play mode.

My faders control Volume and Filter levels and the buttons above the work as filter on/offs and momentary mutes for the Sample Decks

When Copy from List is engaged ( Jean-Luc Picard style ), the up, down, and master buttons work at up, down, and collapse/expand in the browser tree. The cue level knob scrolls up and down in the track list.

Normally the cue level works as the dry/wet for the Loop Recorder and the Master button starts the recording. The shift button is play for the Loop Recorder. The button above that selects the loop size when the recorder is empty. The button above that deletes whatever is in the recorder and the button above that works as Undo/Redo when there is more than one layer in the recorder.

In Group Mode the Action buttons for the decks are as follows, from Left to Right: Group Play, Group Retrigger, Group Mute, and Group Play Mode.

I have a link to the tsi. file below.

Enjoy!!

Interesting!

Care to make a diagram of the function usage on the APC20?

Diagrams are easier to understand for some than videos I prefer both :P Interesting ideas. I like the LED output you have there.

Hmm very interesting, I am now tempted to improve on my sample deck mapping for my launchpad

Ahh...watched the video....so kinda get it...but its still not 100% clear.

I like the idea...and would like to give it a go...but the diagram would be needed.

Possible?

i like the slicing the samples into 4 parts. are you using something like the beat phase monitor to select which button is lit and beat jumps to move around the sample?

i was thinking of creating some kind of mpc style slicer for a normal deck after seeing the slicing functionality on that new twitch controller.
