Maschine 4 Traktor: Testers Wanted!
Fellas, I wanna share my mapping with you. It’s a little mapping for get familiar with Traktor. It’s not done yet, but it’s a milestone and ready for testing. I was inspired by Ean’s Track Prep Tool, so that was also my main focus. It’s exactly what I need, so if it’s not fitting your workflow, that’s ok 
What’s included?
- Track Preparation Mode (no keyboard or mouse needed at all)
- Macro: Analyze Tracks and append to Preparation List
- Switch View to Preparation List (your prepList should be Favorite 1 or you can change it in the controller Manager)
- 8 Hotcues for every Deck
- Preview Player
- Kill Switches for every Deck (Lows, Mids, Highs)
- Macro: Kill Switches for all Decks at once (Lows, Mids, Highs)
- “mute” and “sampling” buttons work as “shift” button for easy handling
- Loop Recorder + Copy Loops to RMX Decks 3 and/or 4
- Audio Recorder
- Comment for every mapped function, macros in perfect order to understand (sort column by comments)
The ideal workflow for track preparation mode (remember: “mute” = shift)
- turn on track preparation mode (note repeat button)
optional: -------------------- - use your controller to browse to a folder with tracks you wanna prepare
- hit “select” = tracks will be analyzed (don’t use auto grid) and moved to preparation list
- hit “scene” to switch to preparation list (again, preparation list should be your favorite folder #1, otherwise change in controller manager
- hit shift + “erase” to load track
- use “Volume” Knob to zoom into waveform
-------------- - use your jogwheel to scrub forward to first downbeat
- hit “grid” to set grid marker
- optional: hit “restart” to set a 4 bar loop"
- hit “play” to set master clock to tracks bpm and turn on tick (use shift + play to turn tick on/off manually)
- adjust phase with “<” and “>” buttons, use shift + “<” and “>” to adjust bpm
- use shift + “erase” for beatjump +32, shift + “rec” for beatjump -32
- when your grid sits perfekt hit shift + grid to add a load marker on first downbeat
- hit hotcue A 1 (pad 13) to remap loadmarker to hotcue 1
- hit shift + erase to load next track (when loading next track, bpm get locked… when loading prev track bpm get unlocked)
Using Hotcues:
- Hit pads to store hotcues
- Hit shift + pad to delete hotcue
- Shift + Hotcue 1 does nothing to prevent load markers from beeing deleted by accident.
What’s missing?
I will add feature request and suggestions for improment here
- Unload RMX Deck Slots
Known Bugs
Here I will list bugs
- Loop Recorder: Load Loop to RMX Deck C Slot 1: Loop goes to Slot 3
- BPM locking and unlocking doesn’t work (for some users)
I hope you guys enjoy this. Your feedback is appreciated!!! Have fun!
