Instant gratification on custom controller?
Would it be possible to use the Instant Gratification mapping on a custom controller or does that mapping have something to do with the midi fighter firmware?
I want to make a midi fighter style or mpc type controller for effects in traktor
If you can get your controller to send the same midi notes as the MF then the IG mapping will work with any controller.
can anybody post a diagram or something showing those notes
A quick search will find you this information. But I’m bored so here you go…
The notes are written in this thread about 3 or 4 posts down.
Remember that the midifighter uses 4 banks mode so there is a discussion in this thread about how to use the IG mapping on a controller that doesn’t have 4 banks switching.
What controller do you have in mind? There may already be a mapping out there that you can use.
the instant grat tsi needs the midi fighter to be in 4banks mode - where each of the top buttons select the bank and the other 3 rows send out different notes depending on what bank u are in. so you need something to do that translation - whether firmware on the custom controller itself - or something sitting between your controller and traktor.
my midimasher app can do that. this for example is the config file to convert a lpd8 (using pads from PAD and CC mode to get a 4x4 grid) into a 4banks midifighter: http://midimasher.djism.com/lua/config/lpd8_midifighter_4banks.lua
all you need to do is use learn.exe to teach midimasher where you grid of buttons are and then tweak the config file.
is your custom controller hid based (joysticks etc) or using a midi brain? i’ve been looking at hid support for midimasher but at the moment you’d need to use some other app to do the initial hid to midi conversion.
there’s also a glovepie script somewhere that would convert a gamepad’s input to midi fighter 4banks mode notes somewhere on the forum.
i see i also had posted in that other thread 
midimasher has been used/tested by quite a few people now - only reason i haven’t created a new thread for it is i’m waiting to finish my multi page launchpad mapping using it with twitch style controls on page 1. i could/should probably post a thread about using it to emulate a 4banks midi fighter tho…
i plan on making a custom controller so there is no mapping for it but thanks a ton
Mine is going to be midi based. I plan on using a nanokontrol as the brain but i might figure it out on my launchpad
doesnt matter. run learn.exe, click on all your grid pads one at a time - and then midimasher understands where your pads are and what midi they are sending out - and then u can use the midimasher->midifighter translation and hence the instant grat tsi (etc) right away. no mapping needed.
launchpad it already has a devices file for already anyway.
I’d like to know what is the easiest way to map two decks of the Instant Gratification to two parts of my APC 40… i’ve opened the mapping and it looks WAY too confusing for me to handle alone… anyone?
bueller?
The easiest way that I have found is to use midimasher. It’s pretty straight forward once you get the hang of it
