im dissapointed with the new beatmasher in traktor 4. i thought the old one was great because it snapped to the closest fraction of a beat, now its done by percentage or somethin wierd, making it completely useless to my style…
can anyone tell me, would i be correct in assuming that i could recreate the old one by havin “left knob” engage a loop and control the dry/wet of that loop? and “right knob” controlling loop length? that being 1/1-1/2-3/8-1/4-1/8-1/16-1/32
am i gonna be able to get my weapon back? please help
You could do it with buttons to increase and decrease the length of the loop. I think you can program a knob to go next and previous… not in front of Traktor so I can’t figure it out.
I actually really like the Beatmasher right now. If you combine it with the Gater you can get some really cool sounds.
I have only messed with Tpro on the demo. But I was able to get beatmasher to work like the original. I’m at work right now so I can’t tell you how now.
I do remember some of the buttons being backwards. And also the rot is default to 50% or something and it needs to be at 0 or maybe 100. Hopefully this help a tad bit.
hm thanks for your help guys.
i really need the masher to be only the knobs cos i cant afford to be clicking buttons at the speed i use it, i need the instant flick between 1/2 to 1/4 and 1/4 to 3/8. dnb magic
but ill keep lookin at it, any more help would be awesome!
ok so i think what i need to know is how to make my pots fractional instead of percentage based?
or i just need to learn the new beat masher. i just dont get it right now, possibly because my traktor is oding funny things. for example, if i turn off ALL the effects, one of the effect pots is still doing some crazy bendy shit
It means nothing hes just talking crap, relative messages are not going to help fix this at all. The only way your going to get the original beatmasher back is by using on the the fx banks in advanced mode and creating your own super knob so it sounds relativly like what the previous beatmasher sounded like.
Maybe then you will you care to explain what that has anything to do with making the beatmasher act more like the Traktor 1 beatmasher ?
All you are managing to do is confuse Kaon.
I dont even think Kaon knows what Koan wants !
Those are relative messages not fractional, fractional messages dont even exist - i think what Koan wants is to be able to set see the mash sized based on fractions much like how it is in advanced mode.
This all has absolutely ziltch to do with relative messages.
Put simply you cant control which beatmashing “fractions” it is skipping between without sitting Bomes midi pro between Traktor and your midi device.
Then you then make the knob send out different midi notes depending what position the knob is in, then using these midi notes you would assign those note ons to directly set the beatmasher to different places of your choosing that fall on the different settings you wish to skip though.
haha you’re right i didnt actually know what i was trying to ask (this is the basis of all my questions)
ok so can i have the first knob activate a loop and have the 2nd knob change the loop length? can i set the loop length knob so that in certain positions, it is looping a certain amount of time?
