Need help with mapping X-Y pad (Nanopad2) [TRAKTOR]

Hello! I wondered if i can map my Nanopad’s X-Y pad to Traktor, but i have no idea how to map it.
So, basically i want to engage FX when I touch X-Y pad, and when i move it, FX parameters change. Unfortunately, i have no idea how to make it work, but i know that it’s possible. I just don’t have eny experience with MIDI mappings yet.
Maybe someone can help me out with this. :expressionless:

THANKS!

Okay, so basically your touch pad send three MIDI assignments.

-touch
-X
-Y

Let’s try to accomplish to activate effect by touching the pad and disengaging it on release of the pad. Assuming you’re running Pro 2?

Follow this path: Add In > FX Unit > Button 1 (for i.e.) / type to button / interaction to hold / assign for FX Unit target

Enable LEARN > simply touch the pad (no sliding around) and release it > disable LEARN and test.

you would probably have more luck using midi-ox to determine the messages and inputting them manually into traktor. I had a look at the midi manual but unfortunately it doesn’t say what messages they send by default.

ok, so i configured map as you said, but now FX only engages and wont change anything with touch, but instead of changing D/W it is changing HI equalizer from -100; +100. Maybe thats becouse i use other devices with nanopad?

Do you have other controllers plugged in and if so did you set MIDI to all ports?

ok, that was my problem. after setting IN/OUT port to all ports it is working fine now without that jumping HI EQ. But now, how do we change wet/dry FX when moving finger to X-Y pad?

Try this. Add any FX parameter and while LEARN enabled slide your finger left to right (one CC should appear) and forward to back (other CC should pop). So basically, while ether of CC events become assigned simply disable LEARN before you let go of the pad.

This should work in theory, though I’ll need your confirmation for further reference.

Sorry, I can’t figure out how to add FX parameter, what do I have to do? :open_mouth:

Just add any Dry/Wet, Knob 1, 2 or 3.

Add In > FX Unit > etc

Ok, but how about “Mapping Details” section? What Modifier Conditions should I use?


These are mine FX parametres so far. Slided my finger to left/right/up/down, then disabled learn and did some other stuff (look at pic)

If you don’t change your FX Unit mode a lot then just leave those modifier slots blank.

ough, doesnt seem to work. Just tried to make that DRY/WET parameters change when i move finger on X-Y Pad, but no luck yet. (look at pic)

Clear the modifiers as I previously said. Maybe you got wrong targets assigned.

Ok, so here is screenshot from my maps.

  1. FX Touch Engage

  2. FX Touch Dry/Wet adjust

Maybe i have done some mistake, i dont know…

  1. That’s assigned for CC and it supposed to be a note.
  2. Try putting interaction in relative mode.

Ok, i found my mistake. There was wrong MIDI note assigned. The right one is - Ch03.CC.001

Yay

Everything is working amazing now. THANK YOU! :tada:

Awesome, good to know!

Enjoy it.
