Newbie: Traktor and Akai LPD8

Hi!
I just bought a Akai LPD8.
I’m trying to map for traktor. The only things i want from it, its to have the hot cue on each pad. (4 by deck/2 decks) I installed the Akai software, tried to install 2 .tsi, but nothing work fine.
I understang nothing in that, so i dont know if someone can help me to do something with it.

Thanks a lot !

Carl

Add in > Track deck > Cue > Select/set+store hotcue > click LEARN > type-button > mode-hold > value-1,2,3,4 > assignment-deck a,b,c,d

good, i’ll try it tonight at home, thanks a lot!

It work, but all pad do the same thing, when i click LEARN and push any pad, it told me its the same button (Ch01.note.c-1) ..
I tried to enter other mapping source, but it doesnt do something. What i’m doing wrong?

If your controller comes with editor try to reset midi notes by default or to rename each one individually.

After i renamed each pad in the lpd8 editor, i save the preset in my computer?
Do i need to run the editor in the same time of traktor? Or i need to load the preset into traktor? (i didnt see something to do it)

Thanks a lot!

  2. Isn’t must.
  3. No.

Try to test different controller ranges min=1, max =1, etc…

I dont follow you on this one..

Add out > Track Deck > Cue > Hotcue # type. Under “LED options” you can change LED behavior using Controller Range min and out values. Also you might need to check Blend like on pic.

is it normal it switch mode? (relative/absolute)

13

What seems to switch between modes?

Nevermind, it was an error, i just catched the difference between each mode.. :-/
