Numark 4TRAK Platter FX + Full LED Feedback! Testers wanted!
Hi Guys,
I have been working on a new and exciting mapping for the Numark 4TRAK. I am pretty sure this mapping is a stable release, but would like fellow controllerists to test it out first. Please report findings and or improvements here so I can improve before I release it for download. This may also work with NS6 but have not tested yet.
The 4TRAK Platter FX
7 Preset Platter FX Combos (Selected with the assign encoder)
Full Platter LED Feedback when in Platter FX Mode (Beat Phase Monitor Strobe)
Platter LED feedback of Wet/Dry amounts of each effect
Delay Freeze Button
“QuickMash” TouchStrip
Quick Turntable Stop Button
FX Hold
Full Browser Toggle

This mapping would not have been possible without this community. Thank you to the DJTT team for the inspiration!
If you are unfamiliar with my work check out my Novation Launchpad Fighter Mappings.
I Have added a download link to the orignal post. I haven’t fully tested on the NS6 so I’m very curious if it works the same. I believe the midi is similar.
I was able to test this a bit with the NS6. This mapping currently does not work correctly. I am editing the mapping so it is compatible with the NS6. I should have a NS6 version soon!
I like your video, it sound pretty good. I’ve noticed that your jogFX selection knob contain seven different FX modes although there were four more LED’s clear at selector. Have you thinking to involve those for some more FX modes?
Thanks! Yes indeed I am! I wanted to start out with a few then hopefully add more effects modes from other users. If you have a great layered effect post it here I will consider adding it to the mapping.
I was able to try out the mapping on my 4trak and i followed the steps in your post.
The FX worked fine, but the only problem i had was that the mapping didn’t disconnect the jog-wheels manipulating the track. So when i used the Platter FX the track was pitch bent and it was a bit annoying!
Really cool. I’m curious though, apparently you use the platter MIDI for all of this, but how do you disconnect the normal jog operation for the jog fx mode, when the jogs can’t apparently can’t be remapped in Traktor versions with native support? Or are you bypassing the native jog support completely for play head manipulation as well?
There have been some updates to the mapping I have version 2 almost ready with 11 effects. Will upload it tomorrow after I make the video going through all of the features.
Yes this mapping is mostly Midi aside from a few basic additions in the Main mapping. There are 2 commands on each deck that you must map to remove or limit the amount of platter rotation while the effect is engaged.
Jog Touch - Button Direct - Value = 0
Jog Turn - Fader/Knob Relative = Sensitivity - 0% , and Acceleration 0%.
That’s smart, cheers! I have take a look at the mapping, although I’m more interested in using the jogs for other things more relevant to my workflow - not really a jog FX kinda person. Now, if we could get the pitch faders to be remapped like this too…
Edit: I see you already have, very nice! I’m going to give this a spin tomorrow.
you bet! If you like the mapping be sure to take a moment and Rate.
New TSP 2.5.1 version is almost finished. Here are a few of the edits and updates.
-Platter LED’s improved for pulsing in TSP 2.5 +
-Advanced beatgridding like Ean’s S4
-New browser list scrolling, and track loading through platters (LOVE THIS!!!)
-Reinvented 3 effects for better sound (Amazing new wind down effect for massive drops)
-Added ability to further tweak layered FX
Thanks! Unfortunately I won’t be updating the NS6 version. I am almost finished with 3.0 that uses only generic midi for all mappings so it possibly could also work with the NS6 as the midi is the same. I will test it out once it’s finished and post the edit for download.
