I’m currently trying to implement a roll feature for each deck on my launchpad, and I’m having some problems when I press several buttons at the same time.
I’m using a legal version of traktor 2.6 and the Midi Katapult!
The mapping for one button:
e.g.
Flux Mode On (Hold)
Loop Set (Hold)
Set Loop Size (1/8) (Hold)
The problem is that if I press another button, for example the one for 1/16 I have to keep the previous one pressed, or else traktor will exit flux mode and skip to the point where the track is playing.
I want to be able to press a button, then while holding that same button, press another to change the loop size and then if i release the first button I pressed it doesn’t exit flux mode.
Have you tried using beatmasher instead of flux+loop? same general feature except you cant get an epic 32count loop to roll. But from the example you gave it seems like you don’t need a giant loop to roll… Correct me if I’m wrong
I’m pretty sure the Beatmasher is what you are looking for. I think it only does 2 bars max (or is that just beat slicer?), but can go down to at least 1/8 note, maybe smaller.
The beatmasher is basically puts a loop down with flux activated. It’s probably possible to do it your way, but will need some serious mapping trickery.
Personally, I can’t think of a time that I would need a 64 beat loop roll.
I don’t think you are getting the idea… The beatmasher not only does a loop roll as it slices the sounds and plus, I just want it to be active while I hold a button.
Tried it just now… I had one of those buttons already, so I tried erasing the “Flux Mode On (Hold)” from the mapping… Same problem. Now I’m thinking if might be some kind of issue related to the type of midi signal sent when pressing several buttons with Midi Katapult…
FX unit in chained + beatmasher = regular old loop roll
just set the d/w to 1 and the on button to hold.
Also, why katapult? Is it for the pages?
I would try using zestoi’s midimasher if you are having
issues with katapult. Takes a little scripting, but once
you get the hang of it it’s easy as pie.
Thanks, I think that should work… I’ll try it soon.
Katapult it’s really versitile and really easy to work with… I use several pages as well, so since I bought it, I’ll give it a shot. It never let me down before!
