Filter/FX lights: possible solution for Windows (BETA)

I’ve found a possible solution to manage in the right way FXs and Filters leds.
It’s based on the following programs:

  1. MIDI Yoke Junktion (MIDIOX)
  2. MIDIOX (http://www.midiox.com/)
  3. Bome’s MIDI Translator PRO (Bome MIDI Translator Pro – Bome Software)

I’ve configured MIDIOX and MIDI Yoke as shown in FIG1 (MidiOX_cables.png) and FIG2 (MidiOX_MidiDevices.png).
Traktor MIDI settings are shown in FIG3 (Traktor_Midi.png).

Bome reads MIDI signals and through some global variables (Bome_Variables.zip) store the value of the following leds:

  • Filter A
  • Filter B
  • Filter C
  • Deck A FX button 1 & 2 (FX Bank A & B)
  • Deck B FX button 1 & 2 (FX Bank A & B)
  • Deck C FX button 1 & 2 (FX Bank A & B)
  • FX button 1,2,3 & 4 (FX Bank C)
  • Cue B, Cue C
  • Loop B, Loop C
  • Key B, Key C

This is the final leds’ behaviour:

  • FILTER/FX
  • Filter A ON => Deck A FX button 1 & 2 (FX Bank A & B) OFF
  • FX button 1 (FX Bank A) ON => Filter A OFF, Deck A FX button 2 (FX Bank A) OFF, Deck A FX button 1 & 2 (FX Bank B) OFF
  • FX button 2 (FX Bank A) ON => Filter A OFF, Deck A FX button 1 (FX Bank A) OFF, Deck A FX button 1 & 2 (FX Bank B) OFF
  • FX button 1 (FX Bank B) ON => Filter A OFF, Deck A FX button 2 (FX Bank B) OFF, Deck A FX button 1 & 2 (FX Bank A) OFF
  • FX button 2 (FX Bank B) ON => Filter A OFF, Deck A FX button 1 (FX Bank B) OFF, Deck A FX button 1 & 2 (FX Bank A) OFF
  • … same for deck B and C …
  • “NORMAL” mode VS DECK C mode: when you switch from Normal mode to Deck C mode (and viceversa), Bome’s send multiple messages in order to match the correct configuration for the current enabled Deck.

This solution is in beta testing and it seems to work… :wink:

If you want to try, follow this steps:

  1. turn on VCI and wait until lights on
  2. start MIDIOX
  3. start Bome’s MIDI Translator and load the attached configuration (VCISE.zip)
  4. start Traktor

I know, it’s not a simple solution, but I hope it works also for you… :slight_smile:

EDIT: Before start Traktor with this configuration, check that the key functions for deck A,B and C are ON, because when Bome’s starts that variables are initialized to “light on”…

thanks for trying so hard to find a solution and sharing it. Good work! Remember though that this problem will be fixed in traktor pro :slight_smile:

The next version of Bomes midi pro will make sharing templates that require bomes midi programing a hell of alot easier. You should see the crazy system i had going on not that long ago to have proper control of the LEDs :\

Good work :slight_smile:

Thank You!
I’m very happy that Traktor Pro will fix this problem, because this solution is a bit complicated… :slight_smile:
