Traktor scratch Pro Filter smart knob

Hello guys,
i’ve search the whole forum but i don’t find the exact anwser im searching for.

In Traktor scratch pro i want to do a mixer filter smart knob.
I want it to turn the filter on when the knob is not in middle position
and turn off the filter again when it’s back in middle position.

i want to do that in the 4 decks

i have read all article about modifiers but i don’t figured out how can i do that

thank you.

This is a built in function of Traktor Pro there is a filter that does just this on every deck - no need for special midi maps just map that knob.

Thanks Bentosan for your fast answer,
but i think i have misunderstood a thing here…

As i know all the 4 decks filters can be turn on/off with a switch and can also be tweak 0 -127 with a knob to be low pass and hi pass filter.

I don’t want to have to enable them manualy before tweaking them.
so i want to turn them on automatically when they are not at 0 position(50%/50% position)

and i don’t know any Traktor built in fonction that do this?

can you explain me.

Thank you :wink:

Just leave the filter turned on all the time - at the 50% position the filter does not affect the audio signal.

not sure you can do it in traktor but if you were using bomes, you would set up the HP/LP and then use a variable (x) to determine if the effects should be on or off. for example, if x=64 then the effects would be off. if x>64 then HP effect would turn on, if x<64 then LP effect would turn on.

best of luck.

No need to do any of that, just do what said :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you guys :wink:
The anwser is much clearer now.

I will leave it always on because i don’t want to use translator.

Theres no need to have it turn on and off by itself - i personally just leave the filter always on :slight_smile: at the 50% position it doesnt colour the sound at all.

BentoSan is right . It really is that simple. I leave it on and center it when i dont want any effect.

+1 . I use a kill button for the filter though so i can whammy bar it then cut it off at the right time, and the soft takeover also :stuck_out_tongue:
