Ignoring the touch sensitive portion of the DDJ-T1 jog dial with Traktor Pro 2
Hey guys,
I’ve got a guck question for you. I’ve got a gig this Friday and I’ll be using the Pioneer DDJ-T1 with Traktor. Throughout my DJing career I’ve only ever used CDJ-1000s and CDJ-2000s so am a bit worried but still excited for the gig to try out new things. The only issue I’m having is the behaviour of the Jog Wheels on the T1. When a track is playing if I push the jog wheel forwards or backwards from the edge, they act like they normally would in CD mode on a set of 1000s/2000s (speeding up or slowing down the track), but if I was to try the same thing by pressing on the top touch-sensitive platter, they act as vinyl records, so if I hold it down, the track stops completely. If I hold them down and move forwards the track moves forwards but is prone to distorting like a record, and if I hold the platter down and move backwards the track rewinds rather than just slowing down.
What I’m hoping for is a way for Traktor to ignore the press of the Jog Dial all together and then they would only be used for speeding up/slowing down.
I hope there is a way to do this in the mapping but I can’t figure out how. I’m using the mapping directly from Pioneer with Traktor Pro 2.6. It can be found here
If it’s not possible to do this through Traktor, is there a way that I can get my Mac/Traktor to simply ignore the MIDI notes responsible for pressing the jog wheel down? That way, Traktor would only ever see me speeding up or slowing down the track and never “scratching”.
DDJ-T1 jogwheel send two different CC massages depends on touch ‘n’ turn or simply nudge on side part. You should be able to read which massage is sent via touch ‘n’ turn then scroll trough commands list and delete duplicates named ‘jog turn’ and ‘jog touch’. Part two would be reading ‘the nudge’ CC massage and then looking for same CC named ‘jog turn’ > duplicating it and assign with touch.
That’s the problem I’ve got though, with the mappings, there is no mention of Jog Turn or Jog Touch. It just simply works like that. Do you own one yourself? If you could share a config file with me I’d really appreciate it.
I don’t own one… Was helping once with mapping for this unit where I saw full MIDI diagram. What do you mean there is no jog touch and turn commands? Which version do you run?
I’m using 2.6. When I tried to add the mapping into Traktor there was no device control that corresponded to touching the Jog dial. Do you have access to that mapping?
It was a while back and unfortunately we didn’t finish it because he stopped replying - guess he got on track. Can you attach your mapping in reply so I could check it for those commands?
That’s what I thought. It just seems strange that even though the dials aren’t mapped, they still work. Last night was my first time using Traktor haha. Which one of the mappings should I add the Jog dial commands into? There are two that are imported from the pioneer file. Don’t really want to start from scratch either as everything else works fine.
So I’ve added those two in (Using Xtreme Mapping), but what will that do? Will it overwrite the current settings and do I need to select anything under the “Mapped To” section?
