Just dropped this feature suggestions at NI: Customized group fx parameters

After playing with the single fx settings in Traktor, I really wanted access to the same functions but from the group fx settings in Traktor. For example in Single FX mode: Reverb gives you an awesome freeze setting and also more control over room size and filter settings.

I thought it’d be awesome if you can go into an menu in Traktor where you could change the room size and filter parameter for the group fx so that you still get the simplicity of one FX knob but customized to the way you like it. You could even map the freeze button to engage at a certain point (knob turned 3/4 or all the way to the right).

This is kinda taking influence from the Pioneer’s remix box with the RMX 1000. If you guys would like to see this feature hop over to this thread and give it the ol +1

Cool idea- but unlike some companies, NI really couldn’t care less about user ideas and feature requests. Don’t get your hopes up, it won’t happen.

That’s a little harsh and I think we can find plenty of examples where they have implemented a user suggestion. Especially if that suggestion was already something they were going to do. :wink:

I guess the NI feature request forum and those whitehouse.gov petitions have a lot in common. :wink:

5

There’s plenty of Traktor features that have been suggested by users?

Photojojo are you dropping hints? You son of a gun tell us what you know

I’d say it’s more of a coincidence that the users and the dev team were on the same page with features rather than Native implementing features based on user requests :stuck_out_tongue:!

Awesome idea… Would be great, but I doubt they’ll do it, at least not anytime soon.

If they could design a piece of hardware they could sell for this, they’d do it… But other than that, we’re out of luck.
NI doesn’t care about developing their software. In fact I’m pretty sure they see improving their software as counter-productive in most cases.

That’s what the kontrol x1 is for. I’m just asking for more customized group fx control. I’d probably use more of the fx this way.

I’m pretty suse zestoi implimented the ability to do this in midimasher, it won’t be as easy as a custom interface, but it won’t be too hard to achieve the result your after.

But it’s too simple. It’s not flashy enough a concept to sell and more x1’s, so they won’t do it. They don’t give a shit about you using more of the fx, if you’re not buying new hardware from them to do it on.
Maybe they’ll come out with a new effects-oriented controller as an answer to the new Pioneer rmx-1000. Then they might upgrade our effects. But even then I’m sure they’ll come up with some excuse for the new functions to only work with the new controller.

Gotta start getting used to their new bullshit business plan, dude.
This is the shit that has Synthet1c half-convincing me to switch to VDJ 8 when it comes out.

Nah, I don’t think that’s possible. In grouped mode, the parameters are set to a factory preset with one expression knob that affects all of them at once. There aren’t any commands in the controller editor that would do this individually in group mode, so I dunno what Zestoi’s midimasher could do about it.
