    Do you guys know if we'll be able to build our own custom FX to map to a single knob? Very curious to see if this update includes a means to make the mapping interface much better (seems like a given... but what do I know?).

    Um, well, custom effects won't be possible, but I think you meant custom FX macros and as you say, it would seem a given to have the ability to create your own custom FX macros. If you watched Ean's video review of the new Z2 mixer, at around minute 4 while he shows off the macro function, he also shows a nice list of macros and recently added a text overlay in the video saying "these FX macros aren't the ones to be found in the final release". Whether or not that list means there is an ability to customize your own FX macros or NI just hasn't decided what to put in the final version, I don't know. I'd like to hope it is the former.

    The mapping interface in Traktor isn't so bad now that you can widen the Controller Manager window. I think the overall mapping "language" just needs to be modernized. The modifier system is very limited and also the lock-down on the HID functionality is a pain having to work around. NI should improve the mapping system from the ground up. Bitwig, for instance, is coming out with a javascript programming interface for midi-mapping controllers to their software. I realize something like this for Traktor would mean a much steeper learning curve for some users, but it also would mean a much, much more flexible mapping system and it might even mean mapping programmers have the ability to create custom user interfaces for simplifying mapping customization for those "non-programming" users. Going out on a limb on the user interface creation possibility, but the chance is there. If NI could bring out such an API that can also dig into the HID functionality, wow, that would be great.

    Bad news currently from the BPM. Custom FX macros won't be a part of 2.6, but might be added to a later version. Darn it.....

    but,
    The Z2 is a 2 channel mixer, S4 is a 4 channel mixer.
    Is The Z2 better in someways?
    Ore is this about the software 2.6 and the possibilities to make it better for the S4?
    I like the S4 and its possibilities.

    ps: "Bad news currently from the BPM", who is that?

    Hi Scamo. I love your builder mapping and have fiddled with it a lot. I've learned quite a bit about mapping.

    Anyways, did you mean that there will be no FX macros at all in 2.6, or just the ability to make custom macros? Thanks.

    There will be macro effects, but we won't be able to custom create our own... Which is kind of retarded. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later.

    Just getting into mapping and such and this just literally blew my mind. I'm so ecstatic about this! Great work on the setup. It's clean, easy to navigate and understand, and above all, works AWESOME! Thanks for your dedication to the profession and mapping world. Keep it up! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for new updates!

    Just viewed a Walkthrough Video on DJWOrx and there NI said, that in the new Traktor Version, you can build Mappings topped on the Standard Mappings and can switch if the Commands of your Mapping oberrides the commands of the Standard Mapping or not. Sounds for more possibilities, especially for your Mapping, Scamo.
