APC40 in Traktor - Conflicting Adjacent Faders

Hey everyone,

I recently got an Akai APC 40, and I’ve been using it to control Traktor. For some reason, adjacent faders are conflicting. I have decks 1 through 4 volume faders mapped to the first 4 faders on the APC40, but when I adjust the volume at the same time on any faders beside one another, only 1 signal gets through at a time. Is this a design flaw of the APC40? I’d really like to keep my current mapping since it makes a lot of logical sense to me, but I also want the ability to fade both decks at once. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
David

Might be with yours or might be computer related or mapping

Mine works just fine

Something wierd is going on. I can send multiple midi messages at once on my APC40 in TSP2.

When I hit a bump like this, make a new .tsi file and just bind out your faders and see it the problem still persists. If so, lot of forum hunting… :confused:

Google about dumb mode vs. Smart mode. :slight_smile:

I have nothing mapped to the faders other than the volume, but I will try a new .tsi.

Thanks for suggesting the dumb mode, but I’m actually having some difficulty getting the controller into dumb mode. I googled, it seems I’m supposed to just open ableton live, close it, and then open traktor, all with the APC40 turned on - correct? I’ve done this, but the controller still functions as before (toggles are still toggles, the track select row still selects, etc.). I have ableton live 7.0.3 and TS Pro 1.2, do you know if this could be a problem?

EDIT: To clarify, I can send multiple midi messages - just not with adjacent faders in the fader row (though faders 7 and 8 seem to work fine together, as well as the master.) Odd.

UPDATE: I solved my dumb mode not working, it was the outdated version of Ableton. Still experiencing the fader problem, I guess it’s time to make a new .tsi…

SOLVED! The new .tsi did the trick, I guess I’m remapping my controller today. No idea what was causing it, I couldn’t see anything. Thanks NotSoSiniSter!
