Traktor - FX Select and Turn on (Mapping Q).

I have a mapping where I am using Beatmasher 2 as a “Loop Roll” type effect… I have a single button selecting Beatmasher in FX Unit 1, unit ON, Gate 50%, Rot 0%, and set loop length.

It is working absolutely fine when the Beatmasher is already selected - but if a different fx is selected, the first time I hit one of the Loop Roll buttons on my dicer, it selects the Beatmasher, and sets all of the correct para’s, but it does NOT turn the effect on. :confused:

But once the Beatmasher is selected, all 5 buttons work perfectly. Am I missing some kind of option? Is it possible to select, load AND switch on an effect using 1 button?

Try putting the loading of the effect and the routing to that deck on the small button that changes the mode. I believe they send midi aswell. But I couldn’t select and activate the effect in a single press on my controller. Also the beatmasher isn’t really a loop roll, it’s more like a granulizer with a large grain size as it will pick up a new sample after a few beats. If you want a real loop roll it’s best to use flux mode and looping.

Not sure what you mean there..?

It’s not re-sampling here..? I can hold large loop (1/2) or a small loop (1/32) indefinitely…

I also had some success using Delay T3 as a Loop Roll… But, for some odd reason, you cannot select a size of 1/2 on Delay T3???

Probably missing store preset command. Map it to all four buttons and assign to correct FX unit..

Stewe - do you mean map it to all TEN buttons (the 5 buttons on each Dicer), and select the FX unit (unit 1 for Deck A or unit 2 for Deck B) for each set of 5 buttons?

Yeah, did that worked?

I must have the wrong settings on the beatmasher or maybe I’m confusing it with the beatslicer then. This is what I mean by..

Thanks fellas - I’ve got it sorted. Mapping the “FX Store Preset” seems to have done the trick.

Now I need to go back and add W/D 100% to all of the Dicer buttons to avoid any unwanted behaviour!

Cheers!!!
