Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.
Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions. Posted on: 26.01.2011 by Demetra Pinizzotto In another thread I added two small tutorials for mapping in traktor.It seemed like a good way to show beginning mappers where to begin, answer mapping questions, and see what other people are mapping. This way every one can get new ideas and learn how to map their own. The format is: title with subject description of the mapping, (maybe a very short video to show it) text explanation in steps screen shots of the mapping window. see my two tutorials down here. | |

| Era Roka 06.03.2012 | NL: Heey gozer! welkom hier! Ik denk dat het mischien iets met je firmware te maken heeft, dus ik zou die eerst ff updaten. Je engels is trouwens helemaal niet zo slecht en hier op DJTT is de laatste plek waar ze je er op af zouden zeiken (kunnen wij in NL nog heel wat van leren ) Nogmaals welkom op DJTechTools EN: Ey Dude, welcome to DJTT I believe it has something to do with your firmware, so i recommend you to update that first. |
| Elisabeth Blix 05.03.2012 | hello! Im new here, this is my first question on djtt! I am tryng to map the loop in / out led's on my dn sc 2000, but in simply wouldn't work. when i klick 'loop in' or 'Loop out' tractor doesn't send a midi out signal. is there anyone who can help me? sorry for my bad english i am from holland. |

-- the lpd8 turns the led off when u release, keep it on if hotcue is set
if v == 0 then
if get("traktor", hotcue_state) > 0 then
send(d, e, ON, p)
end

| Deena Jaroszewski 21.02.2012 | Somebody can help me? I've a question about led's mapping, I've got a akai lpd8 and I use it in traktor 2 as sample decks+ fx advanced and filter, and the leds turns on when the pad is push and goes down when it's push again (I map it all in toggle) but I want make it workin in the opposite way, so when the control it's off the led has to be on and when it's push the led has to turn off. Any idea? As always I apologise for my English lol (Italian school sucks) |
| Alvera Farrelly 12.02.2012 | I just wanted to put out a word to keep you motivated. It really isn't all that hard! this site will give you all the tools to create you're Ideal mapping! There's probably no plug and play fix for you're wishes and the mapping screen is a b*tch but if you're not still asking you're mam to whipe you're ass you will get it eventually.. |
| Dede Walburg 10.02.2012 | Hey, just wondering if anyone has a video (or other material) to help a complete noob to mapping in Traktor. I have the S4 and want to make a custom mapping but don't really know what the f**k I am doing lol. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks. DjCh3 www.soundcloud.com/djch3 www.facebook.com/djch3 |
| Harris Bejma 09.02.2012 | Need some help guys. I'm trying to map a single button to load a loop From a playing deck into a sample slot and play unmuted while seamlessly pausing the deck which the loop was loaded from. For those familiar with it, I'm basically trying to mimic what the sample buttons do on vsi-100se (traktor pro 2, latest mapping). I'm trying to replicate this on a denon x1600 mixer, so far I have been able to map everything to function properly except pausing the deck in which I loaded the sample from. I hope it's not any type of hardware limitation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
| Maryalice Gilfus 08.02.2012 | hi, Can anyone help? Iv have an akai mpk mini set up for hotcues and fx.the problem is that when i press a fx key it activates a hotcue pad as well. |

| Cristin Peskar 03.02.2012 | any mapping gods out there making a decent traktor mapping for the Twitch? I dont mind the stock one but ideally i would like to use the "beatgrid" mode for the performance pads as a mini 8 button instant gratification set up if that makes sense but I am a total noob with mapping traktor. |

| Marlena Breyette 02.02.2012 | Been trying to figure mapping out for myself but since I seem to be retarded when it comes to modern electronics I give up. I want to map the tempo offset buttons on the S4 to change the tempo range for each deck by one step on the list (e.g 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and all the way up to a 100 percent. So if I were to have a range of 4%, then pressing the offset button UP once, Traktor would give me 6% and so on, and pressing the DOWN button it would step down again. Can anyone give me a hint? |

| Rozella Sirmons 14.01.2012 | This may be an easy one. I've been trying to figure out how to map a button that toggles an effects unit from single to group. Any ideas? sorry if this is a repost. |
| Benny Lege 13.01.2012 | Great Mappings Guys! |
| Suzann Go 12.01.2012 | Ive just been playing with an S4. There sure is a lot of stuff to configure. The info on here is a great help. Thanks guys |
| Pasty Klehn 06.01.2012 | Hey All, I've got a question in relation to super knobs. Since the upgrade to traktor pro 2.1.2, I cant seem to find a way to turn an effect on half way through the knob turn. With my previous version of TP2 I was able to do this by mapping "Effect On" as a Knob/Fader and messing around with the settings. However now it only gives you the option of using it as a button which means the instant the knob is turned the effect turns on. I guess you could probably use modifiers which change value as the knob is turned, and then turn the effect on only in a certain state, however I am wondering if there is an easier way. Thanks in advance. |
| Ira Alsadi 08.12.2011 | I have read all the community
s and all the posts and can not find anything to solve or address the problem I am having. I will be as thorough as I can. I am trying to simply (or as I thought) map the third layer of my dicers to trigger sample deck to start/stop. Sounds easy enough. I am new to midi mapping so I hope it is an easy solution. The following are the steps I am taking: 1)delete all midi mappings from controller manager and reset Traktor and dicer 2)Add->Generic Midi (from Device drop down) 3)set in and out port to Novation Dicer (have also tried All Ports) 4)Add In->sample deck->play primary 5)learn note->hit dicer button (Ch13.NoteC4)->unclick learn 6)set Assignment to Sample Deck 1 Slot 1 7)Load track to Deck A (track deck) 8)Load loop from Deck A to Sample Deck C Slot 1 When I push the assigned button on the dicer I get an error which states "Error loading sample slot from deck: Current active deck is not a track deck" I am sure it is a simple solution but any suggestions are appreciated. I am running TSP 2.1.2 in external mode with deck A&B as track decks and decks C&D as sample decks with 4 slots each. Solved. I was mapping to the incorrect Sample deck. I needed to map to Sample deck 3 Slot 1. |

Whoops, didn't see it had already been answered! |

| Era Roka 03.12.2011 | set the modified assignent to Modifier x (1,2,3,4, enz) and set the value to 1 set the non modfier assigment to modifier x (same as above) and set the value to 0 |
| Chandra Lean 03.12.2011 | so i have an issue, im using a padkontrol as a MF type controller. and when i hold my shift pad down, and press another pad, the command is sent to both the modified assignment, and the normal non-modifeid assignment. any idea how to avoid that? |
| Sung Zebrowski 29.11.2011 | very usefull info here, tnx |
| Buford Dworkin 27.11.2011 | I was using DELETE CUE/LOOP instead of DELETE HOTCUE. Moment of madness - lasted a week though :/ |
| Buford Dworkin 27.11.2011 | I have a question about mapping for the DELETE button for HOTCUES - and deleteing hotcues while they are NOT active. I am using a generic midi controller (Korg padKontrol). I have set a button (lets call him button A) to set cue "1" and another button (lets call him button B) to delete cue "1". So as the track is playing I can set my cue where ever I want just by pressing A. When hot cue 1 is active (selected in the cue menu of the deck), button B will delete the hotcue and then I can use button A to select a new hotcue position. BUT! When hotcue 1 is not active (for example if a different hotcue has just been pressed and is currently selected in the hotcue menu of the deck) button B does not delete the hotcue!!! I want a way to delete hotcues without having to active them first because that means jumping around the track activating the cues before deleting them. I have come up with a work around but its a pain... When the track playing and I don't want to jump to a cue position just to delete it, I set a 32 bar loop from the current position, then load it to a sample deck, fade in the sample deck and out the track deck, now the song is continuing (for a limited time) and I can work on the track, now I select the hotcue I want to delete by cueing to it and now I can delete it, now cue back to the out position of that loop I just made earlier and slam it at the end of the sample deck. This means I have to do it before the sample deck ends (not hard, infact there is time to delete all 8 hotcues, but still...) and it's a waste of time. I have a feeling there is no simple way to do this because of the way Traktor sets up cues in the computers memory. If anyone knows of a way, or even a better work around that would be great. |
| Era Roka 22.11.2011 | I've a question were's and how can i map the function that a certain fx bank is assinged to a certain deck???? |
| Arthur Prestwich 31.10.2011 | Thanx for the info! I finally got it! I followed the video (Building sweep) army of me and installed my older traktor version 2.0.1 and it worked in S4 midi mode! Thanx again! |
| Charline Dye 28.10.2011 | If this is he same person from YouTube. My answer to you from YouTube was..... MrBedroomDJ She's using an S2 and you have an S4. Just make your own mapping in midi mode by using her sweep video to see how it is done. For Midi mode TSI's Yul has a juggle mode TSI in the S4 community , also thetraktorbible.com has a few that do different things. Also there is a loop recorder TSI for super knobs in the S4 community . I really suggest learning to map things yourself as you will have a much better handle on how things work. I would only do this in midi mode though, (at least until you really understand all th ins and outs) as in NHL mode you have to negate things first, and you are limited on what you can map. Welcome to DJTT! |
| Arthur Prestwich 28.10.2011 | I've got a question about mapping my Traktor S4. I'm running Traktor Pro 2 with the 2.1.1 update. Question #1 I've been trying to map the armyofme4340 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZX2Y...el_video_title or load the tsi and it is not working, in native mode or in midi mode. Can anyone help me figure this out? I've loaded it about 3 times and restarted Traktor twice and even restarted my Mac. Question #2 Does anyone know of any good free mappings for traktor s4 in midi mode? |
