Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.

[Stewe]

You went for 'loop active on' commands. Replace with 'loop set'.

it works! thanks a lot my mapping is finally done now time to celebrate and jam!

Have a great time dude. Hope you'll enjoy - awesome unit it is

hello ! just posting here I hope i will get an answer
I recently buy a sixtapad, it's a little drum machine (looks like the octapad from roland but less cool and less expensive )
what i want to do is to map the 6 pad to the remix decks in traktor, I plugged my drum pad in midi, recognized by traktor
but the problem is the only interaction mode i've got is "hold" and i can't hold those pad with a drum stick i would like it to "toggle" or something like tap (you tap and the sample plays )
does anyone got a solutions ? I have a few experience with midimapping and I clearly have no idea how to fix this
I can do a screenshot if you need
thanks in advance (and excuse my grammar mistakes i'm french )

Have you tried searching for something that's similar to trigger finger or some others with something similar to drumpads. You should be able to map learn each pad and then set the parameters accordingly to what you want. Check out www.traktorbible.com/freaks/
Better to own the book and keep around. The site might have the mapping or you're going to have to mess with the mapping.

I have auto loops mapped to my pads.
I have Flux on/off toggle set to a button.

When i make or enter a loop in flux mode the track does not continue to play underneath. They just loop but if i scratch or do a hot cue then the flux mode works. Why don't loops work?

stuck on this one - would really appreciate some insight.

trying to map the BPM increase / BPM decrease buttons in the Grid tab to pads on my Kontrol F1...

the only command I see in controller manager is BPM Adjust... and it does not seem to do anything? I played with the value, setting it to 1.000 and all the way to 200.000 but nothing changes. I made sure sync was off as well.

I encountered this problem as well. I assume its because for flux mode to work there has to be some sort of hold function and with loops there is only a trigger when using auto loops.

Hey guys, sound like you have the "Loop Active On" in your mappings. Make sure to map "Set Loop" instead.

I've been itching to play around with EQ FX isolation after seeing the DJTT article and one of Stewe's great mappings. One thing I wanted to avoid, though, was the use of any modifier states to achieve EQ isolation. My setup is is X1 + Z1 + MF3D, and it's great to be able to use a single non-native mapping without worrying about modifiers/etc clashing.

After poking around a bit, I came up with two techniques. Both eat up the 3rd and 4th decks, so this still isn't a very good solution if you're mixing with 4 decks, remix decks, live input decks, etc.

Simple EQ Isolation

The first technique is a super simple method that uses four buttons per deck: Reset, High, Mid, Low. Each button sets all three EQ kills across both matched decks. I copy deck A->C and B->D on a bunch of inputs to maintain sync for each pair of decks. The risk with this mapping is losing sync with EQ still split between decks.



Advanced EQ Isolation

The second technique allows for individual EQ band selection (instead of a single toggle, you can put any combination of high/mid/low on Deck A, with Deck C always opposite). It also automatically maintains sync by watching beat phase and seek position; if anything drifts it re-copies the shadow deck.

To do this, I'm using the scripting capabilities in Lemur and having Lemur fire notes back to its Traktor mapping. I only picked Lemur up the other day, so I'm sure there's a more elegant solution than the one in the video, but I really love it so far.



Lemur is a paid piece of iOS software (currently $25 on holiday sale), and I'm actually using a wired connection with an iConnectMIDI2+ to stay away from wifi issues (it's an $80 device, but provides a TON of MIDI/audio routing capabilities).
