MIDI Fighter Pro Beatmasher + Instant Gratification v1.0
Hey all,
Here is the first mapping to integrate the Instant Gratification mapping with the MIDI Fighter Pro Beatmasher for ultra beat mangling action.
MAPPING:
The MIDI Fighter Pro MUST be in 4banks mode.
This mapping works for 4 decks. Each bank button also functions as deck focus for that particular deck.
All of the Instant Gratification FX are on preset 4. Hit preset 4 and then start button mashing. All other presets remain the same for super fader FX.
The super faders still work on the Instant Gratification preset.
I slightly improved the functionality of the beatmasher/transpose super combo. You may not even notice it. I did not test all super combos as I’ve forgotten most of them. Let me know if there are any issues with them.
KNOWN ISSUES:
There’s an LED “bug” that I haven’t gotten around to figuring out.
COMING SOON:
I want to add Instant Gratification like functionality for the other presets, so that you can just load a preset and button mash away regardless of what FX are there.
If there’s enough interest, I may combine the Beatmasher mapping with the Deckalized mapping.
I hope that you enjoy this mapping. Please let me know if there are any issues or other features that you would like.
Currently, only the IG FX work with the arcade buttons and can be loaded using preset 4. What I would like to do is make it so that the arcade buttons aren’t dedicated to just the IG FX and can trigger whatever effect is loaded from another preset. The goal would be to be able to button mash IG-style but with different effects that are loaded from the different presets.
You may need to assign the MIDI ports to all of the different parts of the mapping. You should see 5 devices, 1 for the Beatmasher, and 4 for the Instant Gratification decks. Map all these to the MIDI Fighter ports and see if that works.
gotcha! I’ll give it a shot. I’m pretty new to Traktor. Only started using it due to the MF mappings for it. I’ll let ya know if I have success. Thanks for sharing the mapping and the info.
okay. yes. i admit i’m a n00b but i need to know something.
is the 4 banks mode activated the same way for the Pro’s as
it is on the classic ? also… whats the default mode for the
pros ? internal ? external ? I’m confuzzled
didnt work for me either. mf pro bm is in 4banks mode. tried importing the file into tp2 4-5x now. ive assigned all the midi ports to mf pro bm. not sure what else i have to do to get it working…
Oh and i just pulled the mf out the box. do i have to import the original mapping before importing yours?
haha well i had flashed my mf pro and from what im reading now, is the reason i cant get into preset 4; hence the mapping not working for me. i hope I, or they can find a fix..
NOTE: I did get the faders and filter knob working from ones suggestion to go in to menu mode 7, and turn on the 4 dim lights. still no presets tho
^^well… i’d suggest u contact the techtools staff and get them to help you
reflash it back into a pro. as it currently stands the flasher on the site is only
for the classics…
@No Left Turn:- I actually managed to get your Tsi working on my Cue Master
but its a tad messed up D= For some weird reason my right fader is a filter Knob
while the filter knob itself is unassigned. the left fader is the top right beatmasher
fader while my Right Knob is working as the left fader… I tried just moving all the
controls from the knob onto my right fader but i think even the multiple midi messages
the faders send is slightly different from the beatmasher
Looks like it wont be such an easy job to just transfer this tsi onto a cue master…
okay… another n00b question on my part…
the 4banks mode. does it have to be Internal ? or
External ? i put my cue master into internal but
thinking about it now the logical choice would be
external… I’m guessin the preset switches are
soldered onto the same sockets that the external
buttons would be on a classic midifighter… is that
correct ?
Edit:-
Nevermind. 4 banks internal is definitely what its supposed
to be… btw. are the arcade buttons supposed to be normal
except when its in preset 4 ? if thats the case then no…
its not exactly working right cause they’re pretty much
instant grat all the time. no deckalized+ig style buttons
in any of the other presets… could you just make the same
changes to the cue master mapping ? i’ll test it and see if its
normal…
Edit Deux:-
reading your original post i now realize the arcade buttons are working
fine. and yes. presets seem to load fine in preset 4. only prob is i dont
know the default 3 presets for super fader fx for the beatmasher…
like i mentioned earlier could you please apply the changes to the normal
cue master mapping ? this mapping is ridonkulous fun even in its crippled
state for me =D i’d love to have both faders workin right…
@Legotist - no news re: led bug. I honestly have not looked at or worked on this mapping since the week after I posted this. Real life and other DJ projects are getting the best of me.
@gonekrazy3000 - sorry, I have not had any time to try and combine this with the Cue Master mapping. I will add this on my neverending list of projects, but can’t promise when I can get to it. Sadface.
I currently have 2x instant grat + 2x my own “deckalized” mapping + My home-made emergengy mapping for the faders and knobs(sweeps, drops enz..) loaded on my cue master with no problems.
Life has stopped being crazy for a minute so I want to set aside some time to work on this again. Does anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area have a Cue Master that I can use/borrow to do the mapping with? It shouldn’t take more than a day to do. I wouldn’t mind kicking it with other DJTTers. I would really like to have one just to make sure everything works correctly.
