    Default Traktor Pro keyboard skin?

    I saw someone at a gig with one on his macbook and I drooled excessively to say the least....... BUT after much online scouring I could only find serato ones and crappy stickers to put on the keys manually, ick.

    Sooooo anyone know where to find one? If not, I think Ean should sell them in the store.... just a little idea.

    Oh and on a sidenote I learned how to turn a padkontrol into a midifighter with relative ease... just change the note values of each pad to match that of the midi fighter along with the midi channel and voila, you can rock out midifighter status on any mpc style controller.

    Nice! Is it easy to setup? I have a mpd32, and would like to use it with the standard VCI-100 tks file, but haven't tried any mapping yet.

    And +1 on the keyboard stickers. They would need to be vinyl stickers tho, paper would be horrible to take off and not last as long.

    On the korg padkontrol I did it on, it was fairly simple after reading the manual. I did it all on the controller, no software. I forgot where I found the diagram of notes on the midi fighter but I'm sure if you google it, you'd be fine.

    Just make sure your pads are the same notes and midi channel. I had to reload the tsi files a few times b4 the effects section worked correctly though.

    Screw stickers too, I'm not putting any kind of sticker on my macbook. I know they make the keyboard skin and I WILL find it! Mark my words.

    Sorry to rain on your parade, but the keyboard overlay for Traktor does not make much sence as there is no "standard" mapping. Traktor keyboard mapping is sooo customizable that it would not mean anything. But you COULD put a generic cover on to protect your keyboard. Personally I wouldn't as it will also trap too much heat in the MBP.

    I saw it with my own eyes, it exists! It was mapped to the default keyboard mappings. I used it and it was awesome for that one gig, but the guy was rolling and could barely talk let alone tell me where he had got it.....

    And I turn my fan up via smcfan control when I spin. with my clear key guard and running traktor+ableton I'm running at 110*f so heat isn't really my issue either. Plus around drunk people, I want a key guard to protect from spillage or any other crap that could fall into my keys.

    I wonder if he was using the serato one and just mapped his keys to it....... just a thought..

    I honestly have no idea why you would want one though. Traktor can be mapped to any part of the keyboard.

    I think what I saw was actually the Serato Rane cover and he just had traktor mapped to it.

    Cuz it looked JUST like it.

    I will probably be doing the same.

    Got my midi fighter korg padkontrol hybrid setup, my wii controller mapped, and my hercules rmx with a korg nanokontrol.

    Tis on!
