Heey gozer! welkom hier!
Ik denk dat het mischien iets met je firmware te maken heeft, dus ik zou die eerst ff updaten. Je engels is trouwens helemaal niet zo slecht en hier op DJTT is de laatste plek waar ze je er op af zouden zeiken (kunnen wij in NL nog heel wat van leren )
Nogmaals welkom op DJTechTools

EN:
Ey Dude, welcome to DJTT
I think it has something to do with your firmware, so i recommend you to update that first.

Hey! Tanks man!
Yes, soms dutch forums are horribel..
Ot.
You mean the firmware of traktor? I have a full license of traktor pro 2.
When i look by service manager hè says traktor is up yo date.
There is Nothing wrong with my controler leds. I tested with a orher signal and it worked.
It is really strenge wy traktor would not send a midi out for loop in and out.

Hey guys,

can anyone tell me what the best parameters are for the sensitivity of jogwheels in Traktor for scratching?

cheers

there is no "one best setting" since each controller has different sized jogs and send out a different number of relative midi 'ticks' per revolution. plus ofc it's down to personal preference. just have a play with the settings until u get something u like...

i've got a bit of a problem, i've got maschine and my s4 i'd like to use maschine to add more cue points for beat juggling, now i had a mapping that i've put the ncc file into the controller editor, and the tsi file is imported into tp2. I had it working fine last night but now i try it again this morning with no luck, it seems as if maschine is receiving input from tp2 but its just not able to send any presses i make on the pads etc back to tp2. any suggestions or advice?

I've got a 'problem'. I'm owning the Kontrol X1 and am busy mapping the MIDI mode to fit my needs. I took some of Photojojo's mapping, but extended it with deck focus (with LED's corresponding the decks). Before I want to throw it online, I came onto a few difficulties:

• I want to map the PLAY button on the X1 to Deck Play, and when the Deck is playing, I want it to function as the CUE button. (So it must jump to the previous CUE point and stop the music). I tried this, but it just didn't work out for me. The reason I want this, is because I've mapped the CUE button for other purposes and I don't want to use the Shift button.
• Is it true that sometimes the X1 doesn't correspondent to what's happening? For instance, I've mapped the Hot Cue buttons for Hot Cue's in MIDI mode (just like in normal mode), but sometimes the LEDs keep flashing when there are no Cue points set...
• For the Grid Marker, is it possible that you can map the MIDI Out for the LEDs, so when there is already a Grid set, the LED of the button is flashing, and if there's no grid, the button's not flashing?

I'll hope that anybody can help me out!

Hey there.

I have a question with a mapping for my controller. Atm I use the reloop digital jockey II IE and in addition novations launchpad. As I mapped my entire looping to the launchpad, I have 2x4 buttons left on my controller. What I want them to do is the following:

I want to use the former loop buttons (located next to the effect section) as modifiers that only affect the 4 knobs and the 4 according buttons of the effect section 1. So that when I activate button/modifier 1 e.g., I am able to control the parameters and buttons of the single effect section. When I activate button/modifier 2, I command the chained effect parameters and buttons and with button/modifier 3 I want to use the 4 knobs each as a super knob, where I control all 3 parameters of the advanced section at the same time.

I am pretty sure I am able to map this, my questions is about another thing. I want the rest of the functions on the controller, like linefaders, EQs, effect section 2 (which I use for Filter Deck A/B and Key Deck A/B) to work independent on all modifiers, so that I can use them even when I have the super button or effect section 1 enabled. How do I do that? Do I have to copy all commands and add the modifier to each command? If I do this this means a shitload of work because I would have to do this 6 times. There must be any chance I can avoid that!?

I hope I was able to describe my mapping problem properly. If not, please ask and I´ll try to explain better.

Thank you in advance!

u don't have to do anything at all for that... a control in traktor will only be affected by a modifiers value if you explicitly add that modifier to it.

usually people have the exact opposite issue in traktor... where they magically want a new modifier to affect all the existing controls they've mapped - which won't happen ofc

Ah, this is great news. I´ll start mapping then.. hope I won´t face too many other problems though.

Thank you for your fast reply.

can't promise u not too many other problems though if you're on mac using xtreme mapping is a lot easier to use than the controller editor built into traktor. i'd love that to have been improved in 2.5 but i haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.
