Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.

[theCHEF]

as the title suggests i am having difficulty applying this mapping in 2.6, help please

Hey guys.

If you use an X1 and would like browser view when you go to select a track, and switch back to deck view when you load a track, here's what you need to do.
You will need to add two extra commands, mapped to the browser knob and load button.

The first command you are going to add is to tell traktor that when you move the browse encoder, you want to switch to browse mode. So to do that, go into the controller manager, select the X1 and do the following:

Add In
Only Browser Toggle
Type Of Controller: Button
Interaction Mode: Direct, Value=1
Click on learn and move the left browse to map it.
Now by selecting direct and setting the value to 1, as soon as you touch the knob the value changes and will stay there until we use the second command to change it back to "0".

Here's what it should look like ...




Now when you scroll through tracks the view will change to Browser Mode.
The second command you want to add is to tell traktor that one you have chosen your track, and go to load it, you want the view to revert back to deck view. So here's how we go about that:

Add In
Only Browser Toggle
Type Of Controller: Button
Interaction Mode: Direct, Value=0
Click on learn and click the browse knob in to map it.




So now when you load a track, the view will change back to Deck View.
Duplicate these for the right knob and you are ready to rock.
Remember also, with the standard X1 mapping, SHIFT+LOAD toggles your view as well.

BONUS MAPPING

Now that you've got the deck/ browser view sorted, how about monitor cue toggles as well? Lets have a look at that.
Now of course you can have all 4 decks cued at the same time, what i like however is the deck that i just loaded a track into to be monitored, and thats it so here's how you do that.

We'll use Deck A as an example.

This first part is straightforward, Just add a monitor cue mapping set to Deck A, mapped to your load button but use "Direct" instead of "Toggle" which you will see why shortly.



Now here's the tedious part...
You need to duplicate this 3 times, mapped to this same load button, but change the assignment on these to Decks B, C & D respectively and change the value to "0".

Now go ahead and test this out. Select the monitor cues and Decks B,C & D and load a track into Deck A with the load button you just mapped. Deck A will be cued but all the other decks wont be. Its not magic, its science baby!

Rinse and repeat for all the other decks and we'll see you next year

Jester out.

is there an updated thread for these mappings in 2.6? if not could you do some, they are well good mappings

Mapping a “dual” knob

One knob controls two parameters when modifier button is hold
We are going to make a button (modifier) wich, when pressed and hold, will make one knob control two parameters. This way you can adjust two FX parameters with one knob, or control the parameters with their own knobs.

Steps:

 Put FX unit 1 into chained mode. (this does not effect the mapping process but I find it easier to have a visual of the actual controls in the software.)
 Assign a modifier to an un used button. In this case modfier #1(I use the on/off button for the FX. In chained mode this button has no use)
o Set the value to 1
o Button mode = hold
o condition 1: Fx panel mode = 0 (0=chained, 1= advanced)



 Assign the first knob to effect 1 amount like normal



 Assign the first knob to effect 2 amount
o Condition 1: M1=1 (modifier 1 = 1)



Map effect 2 amount to FX knob 2 (like you did for FX 1)
Now when you press and hold your button in chained mode, the modifier 1 value will be 1.
This will cause the first knob to control effect 1 amount and effect 2 amount.
When the button is not pressed the knobs will control the corresponding FX parameter.

Great video by the whitest guy I know.

I sometimes get quite a few tracks together that I have to rate and categorize into playlists.
So I was wondering if anyone knows how to map track ratings and maybe had a way to map a song to a playlist?

Sorry but there isn't any mapping commands in Traktor for what you want to do.

If i have 2 controllers, how can i use state of one modifier for both of them.
Example: if i have M1=1 on one controller, how can the second one check the state of this M1?

I am afraid: no way.
(To have "Global" and "Local" Modifiers must have been on NI's feature wish-list for years now )

If you are on Windows you might consider inserting MIDI Middelware like MidiOX to work around and deal with this but frankly spekaing this actually wouldn't simplify things...

Two controllers can share the same modifier and state as long as both are mapped in one generic device.

That's true though
