Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.

**The Machine** · 01-31-2013, 02:45 AM

Hey guys!

Im totaly new here and this is my first post

Reason why i registered here, is to get help on some advanced mapping im working with my Novation Launchpad to work on Traktor Pro 2.6 (well worked, ive finished my mapping, but i want to nail it even more). Here is my situation.

I have made mapping for Traktor Pro 2, 3 effect buttons from FX group assigned to Launchpad, but i made them to be momentary on the hold for some expression, i mapped 4th button to wich when i press and hold it, then i press any of 3 effect buttons they are toggled and 3 questions:

1. I want that instead of pressing and holding 4th button, i would just need to press it and it would change instantly all other 3 effect buttons to toggle.

2. When those 3 FX buttons goes in to toggle mode, they start to Flash. I know that i need to use beat phase, but i cant crack my head how to make it work. Atlhough i did flashing when you press play button to indicate wich deck is playing.

3. I have mapped 5th button for 3 fx buttons expression, wich controls Knobs, when i press and hold 5th button, it gains from 0 to 100 knob values and when i release they reset back. Thing is, i have checked numerous of times, i did same mapping on all knobs 1/2/3, but on fx 1/2 units after reseting 2nd knob only goes back to the middle... Is it normal? or i did something wrong?

I hope you can help me, thank you

I don't own this controller to make mapping for you.

the main problem is i don't know which "Modifier 1" you mean

There are eight modifiers in Traktor. I gave example of Modifier 1 but you can use which ever you want. It's one of simplest modifier settings and all you need is in my reply.

Welcome to forums.

1. You'll need to set toggling modifier between two values (0/1). Add first condition M=0 to hold type and map new toggle FX type buttons and set M=1 into condition sots/

2. As you said, use beat monitor and dedicate M=1 (condition for FX toggle mode)

3. Try with 'FX Store Preset' command. Find it under FX unit drop menu.

ok i think i understand it by now, only one more question:
this for I/O in "Modifier 1 / modCon M1=0 / button-direct / value=1"
and this for I/O Out "Modifier 1 / modCon M1=1 / button-direct / value=0"?

and at every I/O out i cant choose button direct... there is only LED i can choose.... sorry

I assume you're using 'ADD OUT' tab? This is where you choose options for LED feedback.

Try adding modifier using 'ADD IN' instead.

Correct me if I'm wrong

so i tried what u told me and it doesn't work. the jogwheel does actually nothing when i press the button i choosed.

**Stewe** · 02-04-2013, 10:31 AM

Did you assign modifier conditions for commands that are mapped for jogwheel?

I finally got my Numark Mixtrack Pro and I'm mapping it. But I have a question, what is the midi range for middle of the tempo adjust ? So my tempo adjust led will turn on when tempo is at the middle.
