UC-33 with Traktor

Hey guys,
I just got myself an Evolution UC-33 controller because i felt like that was what i needed to control my Traktor. Now i’m trying to set it up, i’m having problems with mapping the faders and knobs.
The controller shows up and is activated in Midi interface but when i try to assign something with Learn nothing happens.

Anyone using the uc-33 with Traktor or can help me out with this anyway?
Any useful .tks files to start with maybe?

Thanks!

Thats kind of weird, the device is showing but its not sending midi?

When you do manage to get it working please tell us how it feels.

If the midi learn isnt learning anything then a traktor tks file isnt going to fix your problem. Try reinstalling, or even better updating the drivers if it uses them.

Yeah i know, it’s kinda weird. I’m still waiting for my know-all-about-music-equipment-guy to come back from London to fix this for me. But i just want to try it out NOW.. if you know what i mean.

The thing is, it shouldn’t use any drivers at all. So it should just work.. plug and PLAY.. right?

I have a Uc33 no preblem with mapping. Did you activate the uc 33 in traktor? An x must be there in the midi devices setup.

Thanks guys, i got it working now!
Now i just have to start assigning and then the fun starts..
i’ll let you know how i like it and if it will work out as i want it to.

Cheers!

Yeah when I first got into traktor I was confused why my xsp wasn’t working… the little x wasn’t there. lol

One quick question on the UC-33: how do the buttons feel? Hard or rather soft?

8

The buttons are quite soft but also kinda hard. If that makes sense? I mean they are rubber soft but they are not bouncy or anything. Hope this helps. I’m having problems with assigning them tho to functions in Traktor. I’m kinda new to this whole MIDI mapping thing.. so if you maybe know what the problem is, that would be highly appreciated.

You said it worked? When notes and CC’s are showing up, just learn them to the appropriate function.

On the buttons: would it be possible to do 1/16 presses on them?

10

Yes everything works except the buttons on the right side.. If i try to “learn” them in Traktor they all want to do the same function.

I don’t know what you mean by 1/16.. sorry.

That sounds like an issue with the UC sending the same midi message for all those knobs, run the device though a midi monitor like midiox and see if those notes are:

  1. all indeed the same message
  2. is it sending different velocities for these messages?

if it IS sending different velocties then its easy to turn use these different values to turn each into an individual midi message with Bomes midi translator(the free one)

Sorry to throw you in the deep end :stuck_out_tongue:

i think its impossible

i own an uc33e too. it 's impossible to do 16th on them.if u dont modify the tks u also have to double press them to switch state.
btw i combine an uc33e and an axiom25 to use traktor.

Hello All,

I have just got a uc33. i am totally inexperienced with mappings.

Is there anyone who would be able to share their tsi file for the UC33 so I can get it working?

Thanks!

read the manual and see the part about programming the knobs,faders,buttons. you can program what midi CC # each button/knob sends. Make sure each button/knob has a unique CC # or else you’ll run into your problem.

I would also like one. Thanks

I just posted one on NI forum. there is some Enigma config needed but everything is explained on a readme file
