Novation Launchpad Remix Decks? Okay so I finally bought my traktor s4 and updated my software. My question is, is there a mapping (or a way) that the Novation Launchpad can control the remix decks in traktor 2.6.1 basically being used as an F1 or X1? |

If I tell you the truth, I don't know too much about ableton xD I started in FL Studio 10 and I'm still in FL Studio 10 but definetively want to change to Live and see what's going on! Seems pretty cool!! |

during segues and mixes and it glues everything together. The whole thing is just mental when you dedicate time to learn it. Every person I have showed it to has gone "That's so cool." and I give them a little go on it and they always come away wanting one.
I understand the craving to use it with a launchpad, having all 4 pages available for one deck at once would be really cool or indeed controlling 4 decks with a page each. Who knows, maybe NI will release an F4?
Well, you're totally right, but my point is that having the posibilities of ableton (actually it's 256 clips with 4 remix decks, don't know if ableton can load more) with the effects and mixing of Traktor seems pretty damn badass xD but totally understand what you mean! |

I meant that it's not the same DJing with 1 remix deck than with 4 remix decks... |

Nope as many as the computer can handle you dont need to load clips to ram (although its an option). |

03.05.2013 | it's really just a matter of preference. Is there a way to enable waveforms in ableton?
I use flstudio mainly but use both ableton and reason for collabs. Its nice, just not my style of workflow. |

But Remix Decks with a Launchpad WOULD be pretty cool. |

03.05.2013 | Nope. Since they've locked most of the usefull functionality out of the midi options, there's no way it's possible to emulate the logic and mere scope of functions of the F1 to another midi controller. Although the Midifighter 'hack' comes close i heard |
