This is my first mapping, and it’s not even finished so please, be gentle!
First off let me begin by saying that decks C and D are mapped to my trigger finger, including the effects, so feel free to delete the “trigger finger” midi device if you dont have/use one.
This is kind of a culmination of all the stuff I learned messing with a ton of everyones .tsi’s. So thanks a TON to everyone who wrote and submitted a .tsi for the apc40 on this site! You guys taught me a lot.
I still have to add effects for decks A and B, and there is a lot of unused buttons/sliders/knobs for right now. I welcome any suggestions or advice you guys are willing to offer up.
I tried to keep all the mappings in their own separate devices so I could better ascertain where problems were occuring, also it made it easier for me to write.
The image is pretty self explanatory as far as what does what, but as i said before, this is still unfinished.
See that’s just it, I was more or less dicking around with this trying out different maps for things. I would like to move the VU meters to the scene launch row or perhaps the track selection row to free up more landscape in the center of the apc40, but I had a hell of a time getting it to work out.
The lack of clip launch maps, or room for them for that matter got lost under the “Hey, what else can I map?” scenarios haha.
Oh by the way, feel free to totally mess with this mapping and post what you change. I’d love to improve this thing.
Trying to reposition the VU meter, added loop/cue in/out buttons, added 8 hotcue buttons for both decks, shift modifier for deleting each hotcue with the same button used to activate it, moved “mute deck” hold button, moved the load selected button, and still procrastinating setting up the effects.
I will post a more detailed update, along with this new version of the .tsi in the OP when I am not so tired.
I still have a decent amount of real estate on the apc40 to use for things like VU meter, perhaps sample triggers?
As for the lack of effect controls:
Ideally I would like to have at least 2 static effects that can be used globally and that are appropriate for any genre of music, and 2 that are customizable on the fly. I’m still undecided on whether or not to even use Traktor’s effects at all, and just route Traktor to something like Ableton.
I’m open to any suggestions you guys might have as to how to improve this template.
The “Trigger Finger” (and the sample deck for that matter) midi device in the controller manager is something I’m messing around with for some pseudo scratching just for shits and giggles. It is completely unnecessary and can be deleted if one so desires.
So you can go ahead and delete both decks C and D if you like, it won’t effect the functionality of the .tsi.
I will have an update to my mapping real soon (hopefully). I will probably start a new thread as it will have evolved way past it’s current state. As it stands I am using Sugarbytes Turnado for my effects so I have not mapped any of traktor 2’s effects onto the APC40.
Again, most of this will change hence the need for a new thread, and as always feedback is welcome!
