gamepad mapping xpadder traktor help… probably stupid

ok so i have a usb game pad. it looks exactly like a ps2 controller.

this is probably really dumb and i cant figure it out but…

i go into xpadder and map out all the buttons to the usb gamepad. i saved all the presets i made for it etc.

and i have xpadder running in the background

i open up traktor go into midi mapping, click add, then i hit midi learn and press the button on the usb gamepad but nothing happens…

i must be missing a step or something i searched these forums the interweb youtube and no bueno

Add as a Generic Keyboard (Not Midi)

ow got ya ill give it a go when i get out of class. thanks extraclassic!

i was reading yor thread also about your build how is that going? are u going to post any pics of ur finished product?

4

…nope cant figure it out. im in keyboard mapping now. when i add or select play/stop, hit learn, press the key on my gamepad, nothing works…

xpadder is running in the background and its working when i press the buttons on my keypad

how to i add it as a generic keyboard?

5

You need to Right click on each button in Xpadder and select Assignment then choose what key you want it to press.

I keep meaning to do a video of them in action but when i see Mr Golden’s video’s it puts me off ( Too much pressure lol)

6

brilliant its all set now!!

dont worry about golden. u dont have to preform on them if you dont want just show us how it turned out and how it works

7

bang it up on yourtube once you have mapped it all

8

cmster, how is latency with that?

9

lol na i wont me posting till i build my midi controller. these 99cent chinese controllers are so bad i bet i couldnt even play video games with them!

smooth I want to build my own and I was just wondering what you used and if you just had to map (no firmware programing or anything?) it after you solder everything together?

11

i talk about it more in my other thread.

when i get all the parts im going to make a detailed walkthrough of this whole experience from all the parts (detailed) to the assembly and art (detailed) and most importantly all the computer settings for traktor to get everything to work!!! so anyone can clone my project but obviously make there own design and art :slight_smile:

right now 16 buttons 2 faders and 2 knobs will cost around $120 if you have a good soldering station

the user oskars that was helping me on the thread i just posted did moderately the same thing u should check up and read his build too

12

i was just wondering if I had to do any programming for the gaming pad to send midi notes?

13

ok ill break it downnnnnnnnnn

“barrow” or pay for the program xpadder

open xpadder and map all the buttons, its stupid easy u just pic a controller skin that looks like urs then u map buttons

then u go into traktor and go into generic keyboard mapping. then u map out the keys.
so like u want “play” u add that and then press “learn” the physically press the button u want traktor to assaign it too

thats it done.

i can do this before u mod anything just to try it out. thats what i did. and it works flawlessly

so overall u arnt messing with midi at all
