Twitch-like slicer on Traktor
Just wondering if anything like the new Novation Twitch’s slicer feature is possible in Traktor. Looks like a ton of fun…
poss with 8 buttons set as presets for the slicer fx and a lot of experimentation?
just a guess as i really aint sure … don’t think you would be able to get the visual representation like on the twitch though 
however some brain box may be about to blow me out the water 
Beatslicer + Loop Recorder might do something similar, but you can’t replicate it since it’s an Itch fx.
Maybe set the slicer preset to what you want and then also map a forward 4 beats or reverse 4 beats to the same button(hold)? Or use a knob for the effect parameters and just a forward 4 beats/rev 4 beats + slicer
Doesn’t the slicer drops all 8 cues at a certain number of beats apart. That’s not possible in Traktor that I know of.
I’ll post back to this thread once I’ve built my proof of concept mapping on the midifighter.
I’ve got how to replicate it in my head just need to test and build it.
word. i was thinking about this.
could be a set loop and jump back 2 beats, jump forwards 2 beats, etc, so you can bounce back and forth in that loop.

Yup pretty much.
I need to test if the controls will stack right but…
drop loop and save it.
then jump and set micro loops with cancel on exit and return to old loop.
Okay well now I’m stuck you can’t chain beatjumps on a single button.
So you can’t do odd jumps (3 5 6 7) I’ve got to find a new way to get through to them.
Isnt this the full solution to getting Twitch’ Slicer mode working in Traktor? See String Theory for DJs - DJ TechTools
I have created what you guys are talking about, I think. I’ve basically just ported the way the Midi Fighter “Deckalized” mapping treats slicer. I think the way Itch slices is kind of boring, to be honest. I want to be able to glitch the HELL out of my sound.
Anyways, send me an e-mail at breadsofresh(at)gmail.com and I’ll send you a copy of my .tsi when it’s finalized and tightened up. Shouldn’t be more than a week from this post
does anyone got a midi map for this on the maschine? trying to figure a map out myself. no luck so far though
I did mess with this slicing pattern in past. Now that we got the flux mode that might make things a lot easier.
Thats honestly completely what I was thinking, beat jumping while in flux mode and using the single slicer effect with filter control on the left right axis of my mf 3d.
I just made -3 beats jump by routing MIDI back to traktor and beatjump output. Pressing the button sends -1 trough output where same signal returns to traktor and fires up -2 value. It’s pretty clean but still… Not a solution for standard TSI… NI should add 3,5,6,7 for sure.
Stewe couldnt you make that with a plus 4 -1 somehow? Or something
i don’t get it how are you going to make flux mode and single slicer work like the slicer in this serato video?
twitch slices the loop into active segments of 8 that can then be juggled, as if it where a drum rack in ableton without having to set 8 cue points manually.
all flux mode does is continue playing the track as if you never started a loop. correct? or am i just missing something?
djtt seems to have got it working in this vid though i am afraid the map is only for midi fighter pro or doesnt work with traktor 2.6 however.
Without flux mode you would be jumping forewards and back without the tracks origional time still playing. technically you can accomplish this with cue points and flux mode on, but if you wanted to not take up hotcues, you would have to beat jump while setting a one bar loop using flux mode.
well dang sounds easy but then how do you beat jump? haha I’m going to have to use google and have some more research on this one.
