Nope, if one did what I described (be sure to have all effects within its list of effects, set its favorites to beatmasher, delay & delay), there’s no reason I can think of that could explain a change.
The lines are specified for each effect selection apart from the first group preset (as it is your favorites) and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th effects in single mode (once again for the same reason). So I don’t understand why a line saying effect selection f92lfo for example should change by itself to something else.
No I don’t have currently any other mapping set up when I worked on the files. The files I provided you with are only mapping tsi files with no other options linked to them.
Then any mistake from my part could happen anyway so…
[quote]Or perhaps the effects on the drop down list are in a different order? I’m just throwing out some ideas. [/quote] Yes thanks for the help. Once again effect selection lines are set to direct and specified so there’s no influence whatsoever with the list of effects itself (assuming you have the effects within your list and apart if you use the trick I gave to change the three favorites fx in single mode).
I don’t believe in mysteries on this area, must be something(??) or a mistake from me. I even downloaded the files I uploaded here and checked, I don’t have the issue myself.
The LFO is sort of a sweep. For the phaser and flanger the sweep starts at a low pitch goes to a higher pitch then back down, and repeat. If you have the effect on and the sweep is doin it’s thing, then hitting the LFO reset will start the sweep over at it’s first pitch. Which for phaser flanger is low to high. And for the filter LFOs the pitch starts high and goes low.
Could it be the way that direct effects mappings work? Just a guess, say in the FX settings window where you change the order of the FX it’s like this
Beatmasher
Delay
LFO
etc
and then the way the mappings work is direct → set to → 3 (for example) and on your screen that shows up as LFO, but someone who had their FX in a different order might see it as something different? Just a thought…
I don’t think as the effect select functions are “named” here, you don’t select to a number/value but to a given effect (set/direct/->LFO for example). Same thing when you decide what are your three favorites, they are specified.
Well, it’s not because I don’t think it is it may not happen, but that would be very very strange.
Yeah I know but maybe when you’re picking the effect select in the controller mapping you’re actually picking the number it just doesn’t show you that. Only reason I can think of that this would happen. You could test it by changing the order of your FX around completely then re-importing the mapping.
I just tried your files and it works the same way for me as viceversa stated above.
I’m not good at mapping and don’t wanna fuck anything up but how did you change the effects in the mapping viceversa?
Other than the thing that wrong effects loaded the script worked brilliant, cool stuff
Great post!
Ok, Viceversa is probably right as it’s the only reason why that could happen.
So to change the effects how they’re supposed to be, you’ll have first:
inside the S4 preferences put your direct FX (favorites) as
beatmasher
*delay
*delay
go the first file inside the controller manager (all the lines being quite in order, the following should be easy to do):
scroll down to the first 3 effect select functions and set them as Beatmasher, f92lfo, iceverb
scroll down to the next three and change them to
Beatmasher, digital lofi, reverb
*scroll down to the next three and change them to
Filter, muholland drive, reverb
scroll down and you should find the first effect seelct fucntion for single mode and set it up as a gater
you’re done, repeat that for the second file.
Meanwhile, I’ll update the first post, and I’ll upload once again the files but this time I’ll add notes inside them to where the effects must be changed so that should be easy.
Please accept my apologies for this unexpected issue.
Edit: done, I’ve uploaded new files with comments inside so that should be easy to change by yourself.
I’m new to traktor and have not done any mapping on my own so I’m not really a guru considering this kinds of changings but this felt like I could work out. However when I’m in the controller manager and scrolled down to the file where it’s stated “effect 1 on” I can not find the button to assign other effects to it, where is the “function” button?
Mmmh, I didn’t check but as long as you use it in the layout I specified I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t work with TP2. However as stated above I didn’t cover the fact that if you hold browse to use the instant copies functions, that will mess the mapping big time. You may need to check the FX selection and fill them accordingly to your own list.
Huge thanks for sharing this! Just a quick question:
Is this preset only for the main mapping? I was inspired by your midi mode post/video, and am trying to draw the tangents. Is this a simliar setup where you need to be in Midi Mode first? If not, is it a stretch to make this a “midi mode” mapping (so I could keep all original settings, and then midi mode would be, say, just for effects and such).
Very much appreciate you taking the time to share all this info with us. Thanks!
