Midi map question (multiple use 1 button)
Hi all
I am struggling with a (the) method to midi map 1 button for multiple use/settings.
Let me explain:
I want to map 1 button to toggle with ‘Tempo Range’ percentages.
When I don’t push the button (M1=value 0), the ‘Tempo Range’ is standard 6%,
push the button 1x= Tempo Range 10%,
push (the same) button again= Tempo Range 16%,
push (the same) button again= Tempo Range 100%
push (the same) button again= Tempo Range back to 6%
and so on …
I guess it has something to do with Modifier settings, Modifiers Conditions and Value’s, but I just can figure out how to set the modifier and/or it’s corresponding button assignment. I know how to use (midi map) Modifiers in a ‘simple’ configuration, but this configuration I just can’t seem to figure out.
Also the LED mapping, I can’t get figured out.
I want:
(standard, no button push) LED1 ON Tempo Range = 6%
(push 1) LED2 ON (LED 1 OFF) Tempo Range = 10%
(push 2) LED3 ON (LED 2 and 1 OFF) Tempo Range = 16%
(push 3) LED1+2+3 ON Tempo Range = 100%
(push 4) LED1 ON (LED 2 and 3 OFF) Tempo Range back to 6%
and so on …
Probably has to be a combination of LED out, Send Monitor State and how the different fields should be set and/or filled in.
I googled but could not find anything how this can be done.
Maybe somebody from the forum can help ?
Thx in advance

oeps, sorry, forgot to mention: i’m midi mapping in Traktor Pro 2
Search for the term “modifiers” in the forum.
What padi_04 meant to say was, you’ll want to use modifiers to accomplish this task.
Every time you push your button, it should increment a modifier. Then there should be another entry that says if the modifier = whatever the max is, then it resets to 0, which would push you back to the initial setting, which is 6%.
So
PUSH BUTTON, M1 +1
PUSH BUTTON, COND M1 = 3, RESET TO 0
TEMPO RANGE = 6, COND M1 = 0
TEMPO RANGE = 10, COND M1 = 1
TEMPO RANGE = 16, COND M1 = 2
TEMPO RANGE = 100, COND M1 = 3
Somethign along those lines, I think. I’m kind of new to mapping so that’s the best I can think of.
Eureka !!! Figured it out for the button …
Make 1 modifier 4 times:
Add IN Modifier/Modifier#1:
Mod1: (midi address button1) - M1 - 0 - Direct - Set to value: 1
Mod1: (midi address button1) - M1 - 1 - Direct - Set to value: 2
Mod1: (midi address button1) - M1 - 2 - Direct - Set to value: 3
Mod1: (midi address button1) - M1 - 3 - Direct - Set to value: 0
Add IN Tempo/Tempo Range
Tempo Range: (midi address button1) - M1 - 0 - Hold - Deck A - Set to value: 6%
Tempo Range: (midi address button1) - M1 - 1 - Hold - Deck A - Set to value: 10%
Tempo Range: (midi address button1) - M1 - 2 - Hold - Deck A - Set to value: 16%
Tempo Range: (midi address button1) - M1 - 3 - Hold - Deck A - Set to value: 100%
And now the search goes on for the LED mapping :-s
A bit harder to figure out I fear …

I was typing my reply while you were apparently posting your reply Belmont 
But thx anyway !
What device are you mapping? I imagine there’s not a good way to figure it out as LED’s on all devices are pretty much wired differently. I found out that for the MFP Cue Master, you just add an OUT and map it to the same button that the LED is attached to.
Device(s) OUT are 3 different LED’s:
1 red (address A#1),
1 blue (address F#1)
1 green (address E1)
So:
Tempo Range (M1=0) 6% = Red (A#1) ON
Tempo Range (M1=1) 10% = Blue (F#1) ON (Red (A#1) OFF)
Tempo Range (M1=2) 16% = Green (E1) ON (Red (A#1) OFF and Blue (F#1) OFF)
Tempo Range (M1=3) 100% = Red (A#1) , Blue (F#1) and Green (E1) ON
Nice! Good job figuring it out.
