Using Maschine in Traktor

A few months ago I bought a Maschine Mikro. Just yesterday I bought Traktor, just the software. I’d like to use it in conjunction with my Mikro, but I’m not exactly sure how to map it to do exactly what I want it to do.

As simple as I can put it; I want this to happen when I press that.

That’s really all I know. Back when I used Mixxx, there was a Midi map wizard thingy that basically said the function, then asked you to press the button that you want that function to be triggered by.

Also, I believe that modifiers could help in this, so that when I press “Scene” or “Pattern”, it would change all the controls of that 16 pads on the front, so that I could say control hotcues, simple stuff (press play, sync, cue/cup, etc.), and press another button that changes them all to control a certain remix deck. If you’re not smelling what I’m stepping in, let me know, this might make no sense at all.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Totaly make sense :wink: You will need one toggle type modifier mapped to the button of your choice.

Add in Modifier 1
Modifier conditions / M1=0
Type of controller-button
Interaction mode-direct
Set to value-1

Add in Modifier 1
Modifier conditions / M1=1
Type of controller-button
Interaction mode-direct
Set to value-0

Map your transport controls and give it modifier condition of M1=0
Map your remix deck and give it modifier condition of M1=1

Thanks a bunch for the answer Stewe! That makes a bit more sense. I should probably rewind the tape first though, as I’m still not sure how to map a certain button to a certain function. (I’m probably overthinking this and it’s common sense…)

Thanks for the reply Stewe! Makes more sense.

I’d also like to know how to simply map a function to a button. (I’m probably overthinking this, so I apologize if I seem like I have no common sense.
