Hello guys i´ve been receiving tons of emails and replays asking me about the mapping that i designed for the akai apc40 and Traktor Pro.
Here´s the video that i recorded to present the beta of the mapping:
There is a new version of this baby, so i´ll be posting it very soon it has a some new features that i know will be very usefull, and it also corrects some things from this version.
So if you want to take a shot at it here´s the “.tsi” enjoy it, the update will be available very soon.
Also, i put a lot of time into this, i work 5 days a week and have other things to do, i´ve been working from the scratch since March on this tsi, and rebuild the layout from zero twice.
This last 2 days i thought of some new things and i finished them today, but since im at work i cant test them so, i´ll test the tonight and then ill try to record a new video of the new complete version 1.6, and maybe also a short performance video so you can see some action.
I just tried this and now I don’t hear any sound. But I’m a nub, maybe I did something wrong. I put the APC in dumb mode then I opened traktor and imported the tsi.
edit: Sounds works now, and the knobs are working for EQ/Filter per deck but no led feedback. Im gonna try restarting to see if that helps.
Very nice. I just finished a mapping for my apc20 this week and I used your layout and the midi fighter for some inspiration. I’ll post pics later. BTW, can you help me figure out how to map my cue point leds to be red for no cue, orange for cue, AND green for cue that is set as a loop?
Hola Oscar, te felicito por tu trabajo. Estoy modificando mi plantilla para traktor a partir de la tuya y me gustaría pedirte una cosa: ¿puedes colgar para descarga el archivo con las imágenes que has utilizado para pegarlas a los botones?
My decision to make this mapping was based on a couple of things.
First i produce music with ableton and mixing to until i needed to have fun again mixing so i bought it and make this map for traktor so i can have it for ableton and playing live with my band and for djing with traktor.
Also you have to take into account that if you want to get in a plane and travel you can have lots of gear, besides get your setup connected while another dj is playing is just a pain in the ass. So this is why i only use the apc40 and a LPD8 thats all, and with that i get almost all the features of traktor (4 Decks Control, 4 Channel Mixer, 2 Fx Banks, Loop Roll, 4 Decks BeatJuggling Mode, Master Controls, Cue) and of course having led feedback its a huge help.
Even so Im thinkin on adding a MidiFighter, just waiting for the money and hoping i wont have any problems with pay pal, maybe i will take off the lpd8. Also i have a prototype of this same mapping with the fx banks included.
The only complain that i have about it are the little buttons, im thinkin on building a whole controller based on the novation launchpad, anyone with ideas Im glad to hear them and even work together.
Hi Oscar! I like your work and the ideas you have for maping! I wanted to ask you the TSI file you posted works in combination with LPD8 or I can use it just with the APC40! Becouse I do not have this litle thinki!
Sorry about my inglish!
But once more, great work and thanx for sharing your work!
Hi there mate, you can work only with the apc40 but then you woudnt have support for modify your effects value thats why i use the LPD8 as a midifighter kind of controller.
Oscar you’ve done great work. I was wondering if you were going to post a new mapping. I’m very happy with the old one but you mentioned a new one and I got very excited. Thanks
