Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.

Seem like nobody knows how to fix this for ya... I never really played with that controller so I couldn't be of much help to you NFS. It would be stupid for Traktor not to supports this feature you are talking about (give it bit more testing) eventually try to use midimasher. If mm can't work that out ether contact NI support and see what they can come up with.

Got a slight I/O kind of problem with my APC40 and Traktor 2.

I assigned an APC knob - it's Track Control 1 or Ch01.CC.048 - to the virtual Traktor EQ knob in Direct Mode. Using Output to Ch01.CC.048 (Controller Range 0.000000 - 1.000000, Midi Range 0 - 127, Invert deactivated, Blend activated) I can synchronize the knob to actions I do with, let's say, my mouse. It kinda works, but: Around 0%, the knob is like glued to the setting! It glitches around, and the knob needs to be turned really fast to get out of the 12 o'clock position. When deactivating Blend, the knobs moving like a charm, but then you can't sync the knob from Traktor back to the APC40.

Does someone know a workaround for this, so that you can send back the EQ knob position to Ch01.CC.048 without any glitching? I mean, it works well in Ableton Live - okay well, it's an Ableton controller, I know - but all I know is that it also just sends out MIDI signals, as you can read in the APC40_Communications_Protocol_rev_1.pdf (you can google that up). So no weird protocols or stuff (Kontrol F1 anyone?)
Thanks for the support!

-------------------UPDATE-----------------------
Okay, seems like this bidirectional thing is really somthing Ableton-Live-exclusive. Could probably find out a way how to remote control all the settings with Ableton Live. Probably Max would help me out there, but I can't do any Max, unfortunatly :/ (Or should I say, yet?) But Ableton is not part of my DJing yet. Will send Traktor audio signals to Ableton ("syncing" them) when getting a decent soundcard and 2 decent 1200s ^^

have you booted the apc in dumb mode?

Hey guys, did a quick search - couldn't find anything. Is there a way to have the master output go through your headphones in the Ean Golden s4 track preparation mapping? I fool around on my s4 with just the headphones on usually (bedroom use) and would like to be able to hear the track I'm prepping when I'm using his mapping. Currently only hear the tick of the metronome through the headphones...

Thanks!

Go to "output routing" in preferences and as "output master" set S4 headphones channels.

You can also leave one phone for tick as it is now and set other phone to be master output so you can hear both thing.

-Button 2 value is 0.800
-Button 3 value is 0.900
-Button 4 value is 1.000

I didn't wrote step by step because it is same setup for all four buttons except of different values at the end.

that doesnt work like that video. if you notice when he presses and holds it activates the effect, but when he releases it deactivate it.

the mapping you listed on sets the effect to that value, you need more mapping to turn on the effect....and it has to be in away that when u hold the button it stays on...and off on release.

i've been trying to mimic, but no luck so far

ok got it, wow i think there's something wrong with my traktor pro 2. it didnt work til like after the 5th time of mapping the same thing.

add in > effect (1 or 2 or 3) on > learn a button > set to hold

add in > effect (1 or 3 or 3) amount > learn the same button as above > set to direct > set a number from 0 to 1

this is assume u have choosing beatmasher in the effect (1 or 2 or 3) slot. or u can map for the beatmasher effect to be selected when u press a buttong with "add in > effect (1 or 2 or 3) select > learn the same button as above > set to direct > select the beatmasher.

and remember to direct all 3 mappings to w/e effect bank you want to (1 or 2 or 3 or 4)
