Turntable FX Button is it possible?

Hey guys im currently trying to map a button on X1 to do a quick turntable stop. I can easily achieve this, but I was wondering if anyone knew a way to map it so that when i press the button it engages and upon release it will completely kill the effect and resume playback instead of starting up like a turntable again. Thanks

Stop routing the deck into that FX unit?

First you have to know that to work properly you have to set up the fx and wait (I think) for 8 beats - or is it 4? - (that’s the length needed by this specific FX to work properly after being chosen and routed on the deck).

Secondly you’ll have to map your button so when it’s released you set it up as an invert function (and you’ll need to create a modifier that would be your button so you can add the proper modifier conditions) that will either kill (so when released it equals 0) or reduce the D/W (in this case, a decrease function that would repeat itself). It depends on the exact sound and timing you may like.
That’s the simplest answer and I hope you’ll be able to do that by yourself. If you don’t, I’ll give you the exact details eventually.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for taking the time with a detailed response sounds like it should work like I want will give it a go in the am, I’ll let you know.

Hey jhyphinwill,
I’d be very interested how you get on with this! Sounds like a nice effect…

Thanks Yul got it working just as you mentioned. :slight_smile: With the button engaged I get the quick turntable stop effect, once released it drops back at the current part of the song without any start up. I’ve heard this effect used with many artists today to include Avicii. Enjoy :smiley:

6 Commands were necessary to achieve this. The settings that work for me are:

Effect 1 Select =Button Direct; Turntable FX
Dry/Wet Group =Button Direct; 1.000
Effect amount =Button Direct; .700 (Adjust this to your stop time liking)
Effect On = Button, Hold
Modifier #1 = Button Direct; Value 1
Dry/Wet Group=Check Invert Box;Change type to Button Direct; 0.000; M1 as Modifier with a value of 1

I also Added the .tsi file so you can check it out!

Nice!:wink: You you nailed that one!

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I run this effect through “Group” and I have adjusted the effect amount to .600 for the effect I was looking for. This effect really sounds great in sequence with some of the instant gratification mapping.

I agree! The effect sounds a bit boring when its on its own but when you start to combine it with others you can make cool things happen!

Hey Guys,
If this does what I think it does, is there a way to get this put into a Instant Gratification variant? I’m just thinking maybe replacing maybe the reverb with this!
The beatmasher buttons and this would make a superb beat breaker!?

11

I have incorporated this effect to my Launchpad with instant gratification mapping for just that reason. I replaced the lo-fi with the TT Stop fx and it sounds great with the mashers and gates!

12

Canyou make this available to us?
I have a midi fighter, I assume I’ll need to alter the midi notes?

13

could’ve used transpose…

map a button to decrease, with auto repeat, and then map a reset command on invert. hold it in to wind down, and release to go back to normal. i combine this with reverse grain sometimes…

14

Yes, its available in this post: 2 Deck Launchpad w/ 8 Cues+Loop+Instant Gratification FX - Page 16

Yup that would of worked as well.

Sorry to dig up old posts but I am trying to get this to work on my cdj 2000 direction toggle switch anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Adding turntable FX button to midifighter mapping

Hey, I just got a new midifighter spectra and have been playing around with mapping this effect. I can figure out how to map this effect by itself, but would love to have it on the same mapping with other midifighter instant gratification effects and I’m a bit lost on the more advanced commands that are working in the background.

Ideally, I’d like to replace the play/pause button with a turntable FX stop button but from what I can tell it looks like a mapping similar to FX^2 mapping where you switch between banks of effects is more realistic.

Does anyone with midifighter FX mapping expertise have any ideas here? Thanks.
