The MF Pro Beat Masher mapping for Traktor Pro in finally here!
Please use the Large Import button on the bottom left section of the Preferences window to import this mapping.
After doing so, please go into the Controller Manager section of Preferences and set the appropriate In-Ports and Out-Ports for your MF Pro Beat Masher.
There will be a video tutorial on this mapping in the future; for now please refer to the visual layout.
This is a Deck Specific mapping where each MF Pro Beat Masher is designed to only control one deck, Deck A or Deck B.
The core 4x4 arcade button part of this mapping takes concepts from both the Deckalized mapping and the Instant Gratification mapping; however, it is not a direct combination of both. For example, Shift+Record will still trigger Juggle Mode when not “Recording”. However, if you press Shift+Record while “Recording” you will find that the “Sample Slicer” functionality has dramatically changed.
EDIT: The Focus mappings are now available to download below. To move the Deck Focus around, Press the Shift button + the Sync button. “Focus” will move from Decks A->B->C->D->A, but “Focus AB” moves from A->B->A.
Please use this forum thread for any bugs or questions regarding this mapping.
EDIT: Mappings now updated to v2.3.1. Only major change is that there is now an FX Preset 4.
I love it, It would be cool if we could “flip the page” to A set off effects that are similar, but with the Instant Gratification Gater presets. For some reason, I use the hell out of lofi/bitcrushers, gaters, and various phasers. If you could set two of the FX preset buttons as effects page flip buttons for the bottom two rows of buttons, that would be amazing. It would take away from the FX Presets though. I have yet to play with this fully, I’ll try and give more feedback later.
Edit:
It looks like I just have to get better and more precise with the faders and I’ll my gater stuff locked down.
Not a disappointment. Total satisfaction. Every time I use the faders I find a different combination that does something very musical and it sounds fantastic.
I have rarely used the instagrad+deckalized setup on the buttons, which is awesome because it means that there’s that much more to experiment with.
I wonder if sample mode and cue point juggle have any modifiers with the faders?
After “importing” the mapping I get 4 new devices:
MF Pro FX Beatmasher [Deck A]
MF Pro FX Beatmasher [Deck B]
MF_A - Deck + IGv1.5.7
MF_B - Deck + IGv1.5.7
If I have only 1 MFProBeatmasher device do I assign the in/out ports to only the As for the MF Pro and MF_A devices or just the MF Pro devices? With another words, why am I getting 2 types of devices for A and B? Should I assign both to in/out ports under the MF Pro Beat Masher device or just one?
As a side note, I’m using this with the S4. After “importing” the mapping, my S4 controller seems to disappear and I have to re-add it.
I currently uploaded the mappings for beat masher MFP, but the super faders don’t work.
Help!?
Could it be that I am using Traktor Scratch Pro 2 and should be using Traktor Pro 2?
You need to set the in/out ports in Traktor Controller Manager for both parts of the mapping. One part is for the standard 16 buttons and the other part is for the faders, knob and square buttons. I can’t remember what they are called in the mapping, but it should be pretty obvious when you look in controller manager.
No, it should work. Check that your ports are set correctly for the MF Pro FX mappings (which are for the extra knob/fader and button portion of the MF Pro). If you are using the Deck Specific mapping make sure you have not set the ports for Decks A and B to the same MF Pro or else they will disable effects on each other making it seem like it doesn’t work.
Yes, all of the MF Pros can use each others mappings. However, the may not work very well because each MF Pro’s mapping is designed to ergonomically work with the specific controls of that MF Pro.
In case people didn’t notice I just uploaded “Focus” versions of this mapping to the initial post. With “Focus” mappings you can use a single MF Pro to control Decks A through D or just A&B (“Focus AB”). The “Focus” allows you to switch which decks you are controlling, not control multiple decks at once.
