scamo
damn you’re a genius
i will try it, maybe make a nice keyboard mapping in order to create combination with the pc-keyboard that no one uses for the default functions ![]()
keep it up!!!
Thanks. I’ll get on it when I have the time.
Scamo, played a gig last night and not one single problem, not the most technical feedback but thought I’d let you not. 4 and half hours and everything ran completely smoothly.
awesome Macklefinch, which effects did you find worked the best in a live environment?
Alinement,
Just done another gig, 6 hours which is a bit over the top but better venue with an awesome sound system and so I really got to use the jog effects to their full potential.
I did have a bit of an issue. The Gatorator was more of a Beatorator as for some reason when opening Trakor it had swapped the gator for the beatmasher for that effect. Not a problem with the mapping (I don’t think), I have had some ridiculous weirdness with Traktor for a while now and I’m surprised that was the only thing that was slightly strange.
Anyway, both gator effects and the sweep drama are really easy to use and suited the deeper to tech to straight up house from tonight. The flapulator as well, especially with darker, more bassey tunes. The beatmasher effects, for me anyway, are better suited to more tech/tecno beats and that was not really any avenue I was able to go down tonight, I will on Sunday though and will feed back then.
I did discover by accident that replacing the beatmasher with the gator on any of the effects was a pretty successful error. Check it out.
My overall experience is that the whole mapping adds a ridiculously good aspect to the S4 user experience. I will not be going back from here, well done guys.
great, great, great mapping!
I just wanna say ty scamo & ty alinement for your contribution!
fantastic work guys!
I’m delighted!
Hi guys,
Im newbie doing this kind of hard job ![]()
Im trying to work on my own mapping, but i can’t get a nice result.
Would you like to share with us how to get done the part where you first shift+"x"button and then use the jog wheel to active and get work the effects using the jog wheel?
That will be awesome!!!
I took a look on internet, how to do this, but i didn’t get work properly the jog wheel. ![]()
I will really appreciate any help.
Thnx in advanced.
Cheers
scamo
in manual (page 7) you are talking about filter in 4th mode (riffer), but I can’t control any filter in that mode. only gater, beatmasher and T3 reverb in FX slots 1 (for deck A) and 2 (for deck B)?
I see delay in slots 3 & 4 but I can’t control it.
(and I think that riffer does not load delay - because delay is there from previous mode)
any ideas?
tnx! ![]()
Hey viszla,
I took the filter out of the mapping, because the filter really didn’t help the effect much, but I forgot to remove the same in the manual. Darn it. Good catch. Nice to see you all are reading the manual.
I’ll fix that mistake for the next release.
To everyone. Sorry, but I didn’t have any time to dig into the mapping and fix what has been found so far. Maybe I’ll get some time during the week. I just can’t promise anything.
scamo
tnx scamo!
one more thing (for now
) why is not posssible to use loop in 1st mode? is it to complicated to map in that way or just your decision?
after 4 hours gig the only thing I really missing in your mapping is simple but veeeery nice and effective digital lo-fi + filter combo like in this video
(cca 1:05)
I miss that combo and my own discipline to NOT press load for loading songs ![]()
regards and thank you again for your hard work! ![]()
hey scamo this is the best dam thing to happen to the s4!! i love it, I cant wait till 4.4.1
No Problem.
Wow, you did a 4 hour gig with the mapping? That is really nice to hear.![]()
Looping with mode 1 not working. I added a cue-in in this mode (which is the reason a loop will stop), because I wanted to be able to beatmash then come back to where I started to beatmash and basically re-enter the song near or at where I started to beatmash. I had actually mapped different methods to accomplish the same thing. I tried to start and stay in a loop. That was really hard to get the timing right and get back out of the loop and it sound right. I also tried to just stop the track and restart it when I was finished with beatmashing and said to myself, that sort of works, but what if I don’t want to stop the track, which happens often too? The cue-in was the best way to do what I wanted. The cue-in is only one command in the mapping. If you don’t like it. Take it out.
But if you time cueing back to the start right (it does take some timing), then adding the beatmashing effect is more fluid in a lot of situations.
Someone mentioned the cue-in (using a different command) could possibly and not kill a running loop. I haven’t found it yet. But to be honest, I haven’t looked really hard at all.
I’ll look into the lo-fi effect for the next major version (when and if I can get the jog working for selecting the modes and I can add another additional 6 or 7 modes.)
As for your discipline issue. Just remember to press shift with the load button too.![]()
scamo
yes, cue is somehow similar to loop, I do understand you intention.
anyhow, 4 hour gig (more party than gig) without problems! ![]()
and btw I’m now using cue buttons as load buttons. IMHO much more elegant than shift+load option!
Scamo awesomely wicked mapping.
Last friday i did a 10 hour party/set using this mapping in conjuction with the Midi fighter mapping and it was freaking amazing.
I mostly used your mapping for transitions and sweeps when im adding in new songs and then using the midi fighter mapping for rolls and litte bits here and there.
I am really happy that this mapping works in conjunction with the Midi fighter.
IMO this blows the DJTT mapping out of the water!
GREAT mapping.
I am working on setting up my own combos and will share when i have them done ![]()
Great to hear Gapout. Thanks for the feedback. Looking forward to what you can come up with for effects groupings. We might just have the possibility for another 6 or 7 more.![]()
scamo
Scamo,
Gotta say this is great. The combo of you and Alinement has made me look very ahem impressive.
Anyways, did a 5 hour set this past weekend and many people loved it. I had a friend come by who was very familiar with the S4 and when he saw the capabilities of this mapping plus Instant Grat on a MFC, he just sat there slackjawed. He focused intently on me the entire night and got a bit creepy.
Keep up the good work sir, you too Alinement! Looking forward to your next iterations of these mappings!
scamo
another friday night behind me - another gig without any problems with this great mapping!
(and not a single ‘wrong’ load button pressed
)
just one idea: is it possible to make option to make my own order of FXs (modes) because and I’m using only 5 of them, not all 7?
Hey viszla. Good to hear the mapping is working for you.
The only way to get different mode groups or number of mode groups is to actually just (re)map them. Sorry I can’t help much there. If I ever can come up with a method of using the jog to “scroll” through the modes up and down, that might help you be able to get to them faster. This is one of the things at the top of my to-do list, so keep an eye out for future versions.![]()
