midi, hex, all these strange numbers make my head hurt!!

I suck at numbers. I’ve been Googling and reading and even found this conversion chart on here, but I’m still confused.

It says this in my manual

Command: SW ON : 0x9/SW Off : 0x8
Number: 0X45
Value: SW ON : 0x40/SW Off : 0x00

I understand that it’s one command for on and one command for off, but how do I figure out from that above what to put in Traktor to turn the LED on and off?

Figured it out. For what it’s worth the following commands are what’s needed to turn this specific LED on the DNX1600 on and off (func 2 button)

ch01.CC.081 with a midi range of min 0 max 98
ch01.CC.080 with a midi range of min 98 max 0

The function 1,2,3 and 4 buttons on the DNX1600 need midi ranges of 97, 98, 99, and 100 respectively

Yeah, it’d be really nice if there was a hexadecimal converter/calc inside Traktor. Maybe Xtreme mapping could add it to their program. Seems like lots of controllers give you Led info in Hex, THANK GOD there was somebody on this site(sometime last year) that was making LED charts for controllers. Yet another reason I LOVE this place.

that’s why i love the calculator that ships with windows… often using it to convert between hex+dec+bin…

Yeah there’s a programmers calc on the mac as well, but it made no sense to me. 0X45 hex converts to 69 dec, but 69 is no where in any of what I needed to make this work.

What’s 0X45? there’s an X in it? I thought hex went 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10 11 etc …?

yep, a hex number has a 0x prefix so you know it’s hex, 0xF etc…

I’ve got the Functions, cues, and FX sends all mapped..
if you need help let me know!

I would, however, like to figure out how to map the Mic LEDs.. and all the LEDs on the left side.. that way I can map what I don’t need..

I’m also trying to figure out how to map a tempo pulse.

If you don’t mind posting your tsi so I can have a look? It’s not really the basic mapping I have a problem with though. It was the out in this case because the LED commands are different.

i took an interesting approach to mapping the led’s on my djm101 yesterday - i just kept firing midi messages at it until they lit up :wink: so much more interesting than looking at the tsi they provide in traktor :stuck_out_tongue:

you have the basic format down.

cc80 inverted midi value 0-XX
cc81 not inverted midi value 0-XX

XX being the LED you are assigning.. its just a matter of finding the right numbers.

I’ll post my tsi when I get home!

Yeah, I’m still confused on how to figure out what those numbers are? :confused:

Are you trying to map the LED’s on the left or just the controls on the left? The controls just map normal, but I’m not sure the LED’s are mappable. Downside to mapping those controls is that they still control the mic stuff as far as I can tell.

Here’s a handy conversion chart that might be a little easier to use.

That’s nice nem0nic, thanks.

LEDs on the left! maybe some controls on the stuff I don’t need.. like mic2.
But I want a tempo LED for sure..
If I remember correctly the manual say there is LED-in on all those buttons.. but I just didn’t know how to decipher it, so I didn’t even bother.
BUT.. I know these:

awesome!!! :slight_smile:

useful site for midi messages, used it for my electronics project at uni

It helps if I’m looking at the correct numbers for what I want to do. I won’t bore you with the details, lets just say I have a better understanding now. :roll_eyes:

That is pure gold!

Thanks for sharing :slight_smile:
