TRAKTOR S8 Mixer mapping.

Hey Guys, A small clarification on S8 midi mapping capability. I currently use S4 and i mapped my filter to 4 band EQ. Can i do the same with S8?

Mapping question goes to mapping forum…

The answer to your question in no. Unfortunately, we still are not allowed to alter factory mapping for S8… NI has to update number of Modifier condition slots in order to unlock full mappings on S8 and D2.

Thanks Stewe, does that mean, NI is working on it and complete Midi Mapping for s8 will be unlocked soon?

Beats me. Even though somebody would know for sure, that kind of information shouldn’t be discussed in public.

Wish they did… 8 modifiers is really not enough for the newer kind of controllers, with HSB/RGB LEDs, and all those new functions in Traktor.. I always end up splitting my mapping up into 4 pages to map a controller lately…

It seems the Controller Mappings forum “Read Me” needs to be updated. This got me the first time I posted here too:

This forum is only for posting midi mappings of software.
This forum is not for posting questions on how to map devices, or getting advice - if you have any questions about mapping something or need advice ask in the General Forum.

That’s correct. It seems that sticky wasn’t updated ever since we add the MAPS section. Thanks for heads up!

IIRC It has been confirmed in the NI forums, that they are working on it.

This is the current state of the S8’s remap capabilities on the 2.7.5 Public Beta

[QUOTE]KONTROL S8 MIDI CONTROLS
We’ve added a new feature to KONTROL S8 that allows you to use the Performance Knobs, Performance Buttons, and the Performance Faders below the Displays as MIDI output controls. You can therefore use these controls to send MIDI messages to other software or external gear. This feature is not enabled by default and requires some configuration as follows:

  • In the KONTROL S8 Preferences Pane, check the “Enable MIDI controls” preference at the bottom.
  • Click on the Controller Manager tab in the Preferences.
  • Create a new Generic MIDI Device by clicking the “Add…” button and choosing “Generic MIDI” from the list.
  • In the upper-right corner, select the MIDI port to use as the output for this Generic MIDI device. This can be the MIDI port on the S8, or it can be any other MIDI port available on your computer.
  • The next thing that needs to be done is to assign the MIDI message and MIDI channel to the various MIDI controls. Click the “Add out…” button and navigate to “Global > MIDI Controls >”. Here you will find a list of the 8 Knobs, buttons, and faders on the S8 which can be mapped. Click one to add it to the mapping.
  • Click the Device Mapping drop-down menu and it will show a list of 16 MIDI Channels. Hover you mouse over your desired MIDI output channel, and a sub-menu will open with message types “CC”, “Note”, and “Pitch Bend”. You can select Pitch Bend to map the MIDI Pitch Bend message to this control, or you can hover your mouse over one of the other two menus to open up a list of specific CC and Note numbers/names–you can then click one of these to map the control to the specified Note or CC.
  • Repeat the above two steps for each of the MIDI controls you want to map. When finished, you can close the Preferences.
  • On the S8, use the Performance Mode Buttons (the < and > arrows next to the Displays) to switch the Performance Controls into MIDI Mode (this MIDI mode page will not appear if the above preference is not turned on).
  • When the Performance Controls are in view on the S8, the Knobs and Buttons will output the MIDI messages that you assigned in the Controller Manager. The Faders will also output MIDI messages if they are not controlling a Remix Deck (in other words, neither of the Decks controlled by that side of the S8 can be Remix Decks, otherwise the faders will control the Remix Deck Slot Volumes instead of outputting MIDI).
