Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.

Add an inverted send Monitor state command for each of the affected buttons, so they light up when you release them.

hey guys. i'm working on an emergency mapping for when my vci fails on my midifighter pro so that i can do 2 deck mixing with just 1 fighter. and i was wondering something. how would one go about creating a supereq knob ? what i basically want is from the leftmost point to the middle i want the lows to go from zero to normal. then from midpoint all the way to the right i want the mids and high to go from normal to zero. would this be possible on a pro's knob ? considering the wealth of midi signals it sends ? and if yes how exactly would 1 go about doing it ? i am quite stumped right now.

LED Mapping Question

Im starting to get a hang of mapping LED outputs to my APC 40, but one problem I am having is that I can't get the lights to stay on once Ive actually pushed the buttons. For example, I mapped two rows of buttons to light up red and green when in modifier state 0, and orange when in modifier state 1.

However, in both situations the LED will turn off once I have pushed the button. Then I have to switch modifier states to get to get them to turn back on.

Im having the same problem with my hotcues. I have the LEDs red when there is no hotcue, but when I press the button to store a hotcue it will light green while I hold it, but when I release it, the LED will turn off.

Can any one help me with this? I do gigs in poorly lit places, and it would be awesome to have my LEDs functioning properly.

Thanks,

Don't you have to set the button map to 'hold'? Its probably on toggle now.

Just off the top of my head. Don't have access to my laptop at the moment.
There are a load of really good APC40 mapping tips and info on DJTT.

Search a bit...there is gold to be found.

hello homies
i have akai MPD 26 and looking for traktor scratch pro '' sample deck'' midi map

Hey,

today I got my VCI 400! YAAAAY!! So it´s time for me two start my second bigger mapping experiment after my DJIE2/Launchpad mapping. I want to start mapping now my VCI and have a question concerning the layout of my modifiers. I am extremely short of modifiers, missing at least 1 modifier atm and did not even think about Remix decks.. I am sure someone finds a way out.

First of all here comes a link to the VCI 400 deck, so that you know which buttons I want to map.

Here comes the table of my modifiers.

Some further explanation: Modifier 1+2 I switch the Jog-mode between pitchbend and search. Mod 3+4 I need to switch the decks, Mod 5+6 are the left FX section and the right FX section, 7+8 control the mode of the 8 buttons (Hotcue and 3x8 different presets of FX).

So far, I am missing a mod for a shift function. The only solution I got in mind now is to split the mapping in two devices. One device for the left side, one for the right side. But I fear this might cause in latency issues if its two many devices sometimes? I´m prettty sure I´ll connect a F1 soon.

So maybe there is another way.

Zestoi -> Go!

my best bet would be to do exactly what you said and split the mapping into two or more devices, as then you get a brand new shiny set of 8 modifiers for each device. it won't make any difference to latency, even the midifighter 4banks mapping is split into 4, one per bank, and that has a heap of controls in each.

it might be less work to just split out the effects section into it's own device? you just need to ensure ofc that all buttons/faders that depend on the modifiers you are moving into a separate device are also in that device.

i can't see any other clean way of doing it. you could try to combine modifiers where you are only using values of 0 and 1, but then you'd end up duplicating the mappings that depend on them since you can't say in traktor "modifier1 is 1 *or* modifier1 is 3"

i would go with the option of splitting into multiple devices if i were you

The easiest way would probably be to use just one modifier for the jogs. Set it up with four "positions" (m1=1-4) that correspond to the four different ways that the jogs can be set up. This would need a couple "if this than that" type of mod conditions, but should be pretty simple in function.
Zestoi is correct here about splitting, it is probably the best way to do this. But if you don't want to split, just set it up like I was saying.

[zestoi]

yep, combining modifiers for the jogs should work well, as i doubt he has many controls mapped to them.

if there's "jog fx" stuff mapped to them then there would be a lot of controls to dupe ofc, but if only scratch+pitchbend then it's probably easier to just dupe those few controls

[Ryukyu]

Thank you guys. Splitting will be the best choice then so I have room for implementation of some more functions.

Stay tuned, this is just the beginning.

Hey Ho,
I am at beginning of going into the mapping stuff and at the moment i have a lil' problem.
I have an akai mpd18 and want to do hotcues for the sample decks.
My mapping for a hotcue:
Control: Play Primary | I/O: In| Assigment: Sample Deck 3 Slot 1| Mode: Trigger (also tried: Hold)
also Retrigger Play | In| Sample Deck 3 Slot 1| Hold

Now the problem:
I'm using one-shot samples but when the sample is a lil' bit longer (like the 808 Kick 1 or 808 Clap) and I'm hitting the button very fast the secound hit only resets the sample.
What I want is that every time I hit the sample it is played compledly and not like now: first hit -> play, secound hit -> reset, third hit -> play and so on ...

hopefully u understand me and my problem (:

thanks to all who try to help (:
