Traktor mapping issue - effect presets not loading correctly
Hello,
Basically I’m having a bit of a tiny issue, but still some what bothersome.
The way I mapped this button on my X1 is the following:
When I push shift + effect 3, the gater effect will load into effects 1 and 2 (in advanced mode) with different presets for each parameter. The problem is that not all of the parameter presets load correctly. For them to load correctly, I would need to push the button a second time.
Ex: The preset for the shape parameter on gater effect 1 should be at 0.50, however, when I push shift + effect 3, it may load at 0.2 (as an example). I will continue to hold the shift button and then push effect 3 once more and this parameter will then load at the correct preset of 0.5.
Does anyone know why this is? I would rather not have to push the button twice.
There are two things, one is the options you set up for your effects and how they are recalled as a defined preset, check in the manual there’s more to know exactly. The second thing (if that’s relevant in your case) is whatever you’ll do, you won’t be able to overcome the fact that when changing from a type of fx mode (group to single or the other way round) to another you won’t be able to get the parameters how you like them to be on a given effect. In a sense, Traktor needs a push first to change the fx mode and then call your preset.
There is a loophole! Whether it’s suppose to happen or not, if you select “invert” for the “effect amount” command while it’s set to “inc”, “dec”, or “reset”, that function caries over to “direct” commands. So here’s what you do:
create a command for “effect amount” that has whatever modifier/focus/mapping/etc you desire
set the interaction mode to “inc”
check the “invert” box
set the interaction mode over to “direct” and set your value
Hope that works out for what you’re hoping to do! Let me know, because I know a LOT of people are having this problem, and if it does work for you, I’ll make a new thread to let everyone know the solution.
You can totally just modify what you have (assuming you have the commands for each parameter already set up). You just need to change it over to be “invert”.
Glad it worked for you! Invert uses the MIDI NOTE OFF command sent by the controller to trigger whatever command is mapped to it instead of the NOTE ON signal. So in this instance, the NOTE ON (push down) loads your desired effects and then the NOTE OFF (release) sets the values. It’s still technically 2 different occurrences for sending commands, but only 1 button push.
