This is a mapping I made a while ago based on the Deckalized Focus mapping (Midi Fighter Deckalized Mapping) that replaced all the Tempo controls on the bottom row of buttons with Instant FX buttons. I used it with my VCI and never had any use for the Tempo control buttons. I figured it’s worth sharing.
Once I have some time, I’ll try to make a proper visual layout but for now, here’s what it does in essence:
Each Button on the Bottom Row will trigger an effect and then once you hold that button, the adjacent buttons adjust the rate of the effect (the buttons to the right make it go up in value, buttons to the left go down in value). You can only use one of the effects at a time because once you push one, the other buttons change to be rate adjustments. Try it out and you’ll see.
Other than that,
Shift+Sync = Deck Focus -
&
Shift+Cue = Deck Focus +
The rest is Deckalized. I just figured it was worth posting because while I used to have ideas of improving this mapping, I never got around to it but I gave it to some friends that use it, so it’s worthy of the forum at least.
Great modified mapping! Well done!
I had never used midifighter`s tempo controls too - jogwheels are much convenient.
I noticed that values of “effect 1 amount” (i mean gater effect) for four bottom buttons was 0.3, 0.5, 0.625, 0.775. I changed it to 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1, because the values 0.625 and 0.775 are same.
Yeah, you’ll just have to make some changes to the lines controlling the Deck Focus in the tsi. I can take a look at the tsi later to explain what exactly to edit, but I think I also did this a while back somewhere on the original Deckalized thread. Although, this is slightly different because you can scroll each way.
Either way, I didn’t think it was as big a deal on this one since I mapped in Deck Focus+ and Deck Focus- buttons that you can use to just go back and forth between Decks A and B without having to scroll through all 4 decks.
But if people like this mapping, I can make it just go between Decks A/B and bring back Drop Cue as the Cue Shift function.
Great call! This was one of the main reasons I had waited to post this mapping in the forum (and then it sat around on my computer gaining virtual dust for long enough that I figured I should just post it anyways). I wanted to refine all of the amount values to tailor them to the effects (I was going to experiment more with other effects too).
Anyways, that’s great input, except I think that the .5 and .625 are the values that result in the same Gater sound. But yeah, hopefully the comments make it easy enough to alter and if there becomes enough of a consensus for different values/effects I can easily redo the mapping and repost it.
Loving the mapping so far flashflooder. Gave it a tinker and shoehorned it into my mpd18. Have assigned the single fader to control master tempo when shift is held, and to directly control FX parameters when an FX button is held. Gonna tinker with FX used (I never use reverse grain for example) and have a jam with it this evening. Ta muchly!
Go to controller manager, choose Midifighter in Device row. Than you should find 1 of 4 rows called “Effect 1 Amount” and change the value in “Button options” to the value you want.
