Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.

If i have 2 controllers, how can i use state of one modifier for both of them.
Example: if i have M1=1 on one controller, how can the second one check the state of this M1?

Hey guys.

If you use an X1 and would like browser view when you go to select a track, and switch back to deck view when you load a track, here's what you need to do.
You will need to add two extra commands, mapped to the browser knob and load button.

The first command you are going to add is to tell traktor that when you move the browse encoder, you want to switch to browse mode. So to do that, go into the controller manager, select the X1 and do the following:

Add In
Only Browser Toggle
Type Of Controller: Button
Interaction Mode: Direct, Value=1
Click on learn and move the left browse to map it.
Now by selecting direct and setting the value to 1, as soon as you touch the knob the value changes and will stay there until we use the second command to change it back to "0".

Here's what it should look like ...




Now when you scroll through tracks the view will change to Browser Mode.
The second command you want to add is to tell traktor that one you have chosen your track, and go to load it, you want the view to revert back to deck view. So here's how we go about that:

Add In
Only Browser Toggle
Type Of Controller: Button
Interaction Mode: Direct, Value=0
Click on learn and click the browse knob in to map it.




So now when you load a track, the view will change back to Deck View.
Duplicate these for the right knob and you are ready to rock.
Remember also, with the standard X1 mapping, SHIFT+LOAD toggles your view as well.

BONUS MAPPING

Now that you've got the deck/ browser view sorted, how about monitor cue toggles as well? Lets have a look at that.
Now of course you can have all 4 decks cued at the same time, what i like however is the deck that i just loaded a track into to be monitored, and thats it so here's how you do that.

We'll use Deck A as an example.

This first part is straightforward, Just add a monitor cue mapping set to Deck A, mapped to your load button but use "Direct" instead of "Toggle" which you will see why shortly.



Now here's the tedious part...
You need to duplicate this 3 times, mapped to this same load button, but change the assignment on these to Decks B, C & D respectively and change the value to "0".

Now go ahead and test this out. Select the monitor cues and Decks B,C & D and load a track into Deck A with the load button you just mapped. Deck A will be cued but all the other decks wont be. Its not magic, its science baby!

Rinse and repeat for all the other decks and we'll see you next year

Jester out.

FX unit isn't suppose to turn on - it's button 3 doing the trick here.

This isn't working for me. are you sure about this one:


I would believe that would prevent the effect from turning on at all.

Add In > FX Unit > Effect Selector / type-button / mode-direct / value-TurntableFX
Add In > FX Unit > Dry/Wet / type-button / mode-direct / value-0.500
Add In > FX Unit > Knob 1 / type-button / mode-direct / value-1.000
Add In > FX Unit > Knob 2 / type-button / mode-direct / value-0.555
Add In > FX Unit > Knob 3 / type-button / mode-direct / value-0.511
Add In > FX Unit > Unit On / type-button / mode-direct / value-0
Add In > FX Unit > Button 2 / type-button / mode-direct / value-0
Add In > FX Unit > Button 3 / type-button / mode-hold (or toggle)
Add In > FX Unit > FX Unit Mode Selector / type-button / mode-direct / value-single
Add In > FX Unit > FX Store Preset / type-button / mode-trigger

Map all commands to single button and assign to same FX unit.

Agreed, Im going to start looking for a few lists of parameters, Post them in a new thread then give people the opportunity to post their Fx mappings. PM with more parameters of links to lists. Maybe we can get mods to sticky it.

No, I just Like being able to see what others have come up with. Maybe we should make a thread of actual parameter collections so people can then use them as a starting point.
