through a series of bad incidents i pretty much lost my original mappings and i now have to re-map some of these functions, it would be great if you help out a little.
i use:
traktor pro (not 2!!)
2 MF spectras, one for each deck
Cue to Grid
how do i map the cue button in a way that it sticks to the grid and does not stop in between the grid?
Reverb
how do i map the reverb of button #5 of this mapping (DJ TechTools - MF Spectra-3D Instant Gratification)?
i imported the file into traktor to see the setup but it says, “this version of traktor does not support this .tsi file” …!!!
Filter
how do i map the filter of button #7 of this mapping (DJ TechTools - MF Spectra Deckalized)?
i also imported that file into traktor and gives me the same error message!!!
Beatmasher
how do i map the beatmasher 1/4 of this mapping (DJ TechTools - MF Spectra Deckalized)?
and how do i map the beatmasher 1/8 of the same mapping?
Loop Move
Where can i determine by how many bars the loop moves with “Cue/Loop Move” function?
it seems to automatically have eight bars set, but how can i change that to 16?
thank you guys, i know its a lot to ask, just losing it a little right now. all settings are gone and nowhere to be found. playing tonight, as well as the next three days, getting nervous… any help would be much appreciated!!!
Should be pretty much the same really. Only difference would be that you’ll pick group or single option right away in menu and then look up in there for desired commands for the both FX unit mode individually and the fact that TP 1 doesn’t offer FX Store Preset command (the magic of loading and activating the effect at the single button press).
Add in > FX Unit > Effect Selector / type-button / mode-direct / value-Delay
Add in > FX Unit > Unit On / type-button / mode-toggle
Add in > FX Unit > Button 2 / type-button / mode-toggle
Add in > FX Unit > Button 3 / type-button / mode-direct / value-0
Add in > FX Unit > DryWet / type-button / mode-direct / value-0.300
Add in > FX Unit > Knob 1 / type-button / mode-direct / value-0.600
Add in > FX Unit > Knob 2 / type-button / mode-direct / value-0.400
Add in > FX Unit > Knob 3 / type-button / mode-direct / value-0.300
Add in > FX Unit > FX Unit Mode Selector / type-button / mode-direct / value-Single
Add in > FX Unit > FX Store preset / type-button / mode-Trigger
this is what the echo freeze looks liked mapped.
in tp 1 we dont even have an “effect selector”, there is no “Button 3”, nor ANY knobs.
in fact i am thinking of just moving it all to traktor pro 2 right now. should i just move it all over now???
I would save the traktor library files first right? any other precautions i would have to take?
yeah i will have to. its all a huge mess atm.
playing a set tonight though, in three hours so better do that afterwards just in case again.
one last question though, if thats okay: how do i get the cue mapping back that always sticks with the grid and doesnt stop in between the grid, do you know what i mean?
nah not exactly, not to jump to a preset cue in the song, but just to stick to the grid, so when i hit the cue button when the track is playing while the “needle” going through the deck is in between the grid it automatically jumps to the closest one instead of just stopping inbetween the lines.
mate, you are a saviour. you should be getting money for this. thank you, such a tiny thing but a huge help again. if you ever come to cape town i owe you.
gonna play set tonight with limited fx and then do the swop to traktor 2 tonight. thanks again!
i did swop to tp2, imported the mappings from tt and no problem with the .tsi file here, so all perfect. thank you again!
right now i am amending the mapping and i have a few tiny things that i struggle with:
→ i am trying to map a button to activate a loop when pressed once and deactivate when pressed again.
→ trying to map “Loop move” one button to move forward 16 bars and another one to move backwards 16 bars (i dont find loop move in the “deck common > loop” settings though… and “deck common > move” also doesnt seem to do the trick…
okay i got the loop in and out sorted by mapping an “add out”.
now i am left with the loop move issue and another one:
→ i want to map pitch bend forward to one button and pitch bend backwards to another button, i cant seem to find that though. there is “tempo bend” and “tempo adjust” but that does an entirely different weird thing… any pointers?
Regards to loop set and it’s output feedback you might want to add ‘Is In Active Loop’ command instead of ‘Loop set’ or ‘Active’ to prevent button LED to keep being on when you use a beatjump or a hotcue to jump around the track.
As for loop move set as following:
Add In > Move / button / direct / value = back or forward (depend of direction button)
Add In > Mode Selector / button / direct / value = loop (to both buttons)
only thing that still wont work is the loop move… are you sure those are the right commands? i have done exactly as you say it doesnt do anything at all. i think i also need to set a value on how many beats i want it to move no? any idea?
and last thing. i am working on the mapping for deck a now. is there any way i can copy that mapping for deck b as i only want it to be mirrored, so being exactly the same just for deck b…?
okay, i just realised the loop is actually moving, but just a tiny fraction every time i hit the button, like a fourth of the distance between two grid lines. i would like this to move an entire 16 bars up, do you know how to set that?
