I need beta-testers...
I need beta-testers... Posted on: 29.08.2010 by Graham Frazier I've got a little piece of software that i made, and i need just a few beta testers to make sure everything works right. The program is really simple, but can be a lot of help to lots and lots of people.Requirements: 1. Must have a Window's computer. (The mac guys don't need this anyway) 2. Must have ANY version of traktor. 3. Must have a controller with LED feedback. 4. Be willing to waste a few minutes to help test this out. 5. Must not say anything until official release. (Hoping for a blog post) The program is an .exe file made with MAX. Your beta will come as a zipped folder including: the program, and all support files for the standalone version of the max runtime. If you have Max 5 already that's nice, but since i wan't this to be available to everyone, i would like all testers to use the standalone version. Anybody who is interested can simply respond with any questions. Or send me a PM. You could send me an e-mail, but i check this site more than my e-mail anyway. Thank you very much. Edit: This software requires Midi Yoke by Midi-OX, which is free and can be downloaded from here... http://www.midiox.com/ You might as well download it anyway, since it is extremely useful. | |

| Branden Wentler 05.09.2010 | Hey i've used the public version all weekend with no pops and crackles. I have some modifier based LED feedback that used to cause very minor pops but doesn't happen anymore. Now that the w/end is done i have time to experiment with a more robust mapping with send monitor state. One thing i'd like to request is the ability to remember midi device settings. |
| Keli Vandenbergh 01.09.2010 | ... :O Thanks for the info... I'm on mac since 3 years ago... I will spread this app as soon as you release it (or try to find bt for this stage) Bests, Mudo ... |

| Branden Wentler 31.08.2010 | Troubleshooting ATM, Will get back to you. Using XP (home) All's working fine now. Needed to plug in my other devices Will stress test toevening and post back |
| Keli Vandenbergh 31.08.2010 | ... I still don't understand the use sorry... ... |
| Graham Frazier 31.08.2010 | What OS are you using? If i remember correctly, in XP it shows up as "USB Audio Device" |
| Branden Wentler 31.08.2010 |
Then in the program you set both "From Controller" and "To Controller" to your controller.
EDIT: Shows up now....awesome EDIT: Arrg now my other devices don't show up in TP lol |
| Graham Frazier 01.09.2010 | Alright this app is undergoing a major rework, since it seems like it's not quite effective for everyone. So i'm going to make this version public. Here's the link for the download.... http://www.mediafire.com/?n1uusbpw7i7ugi7 It works pretty simply. You set your "In-Port" and "Out-Port" in Traktor, to 2 different channels on Midi Yoke. Then in my program you set the "From Traktor" to the same midi yoke as traktor's "Out-Port", and the "To Traktor" to the same midi yoke as traktor's "In-Port". Then in the program you set both "From Controller" and "To Controller" to your controller. Simple enough right. This only works for one controller at a time, since i can't run multiple instances of my program, but multiple controllers will be available on the final version. Now for those of you that have ableton live, there's a little trick that i was using before i made this. For me, it didn't work as good as my app, but you're welcome to give it a try. All you have to do is open ableton, turn audio off in the audio preferences menu. In the midi menu turn on Track and Remote for a midi yoke input channel, and turn on Track and Remote for a different midi yoke output channel. (Note: If you have input and output on, on the same midi yoke channel it can create a midi feedback loop, which can cause all kinds of problems.) Now that you have done that, in session view create 2 midi tracks. Set the first tracks "Midi From" to the Midi yoke channel you've set for the input, and set the "Midi To" to your controller. ON the second track set the "Midi From" to you controller, and the "Midi To" to the midi yoke channel you have set to output. Then set the monitor to "IN" on both channels. Then in traktor, set your "In-Port" to the midi yoke on that you have set as an output in ableton; and the "Out-Port" to the midi yoke you have as an input in ableton. The Ableton method worked rather well for me, but there were still some very minor pops here and there. As for now i'm going to be working on my app vigorously until i have a solid solution that works for everybody. |
| Tania Somppi 31.08.2010 | I use Maple Midi with Bomes classic to make my BCD2000 work with Traktor, alongside Dascratch and it's virtual cables for my SCS3ds so I dunno if something else will fit in the chain but I've got a mapping I can't use with send monitor state included that I shelved tbh because of this issue. I should be able to offer some quick feedback as it's all ready to go, if I can figure out where to put your tool in the chain. |
| Delila Vandommelen 31.08.2010 | Sorry for not getting back to you that soon. I have a mapping for the ddm which involves lots of the leds and I can remember it was definitely not smooth. Should be able to test at worst Thursday morning local time. |
| Elizebeth Bibi 31.08.2010 | hey drew just finished my apc40 mapping in traktor and could do with this for the old hot cues. |

| Dorcas Bassignani 31.08.2010 | i got midiyoke to run in win7 |
| Keli Vandenbergh 31.08.2010 | ... OSC clock sync ? ... |
| Dorcas Bassignani 31.08.2010 | should be able to get back to you today |
| Graham Frazier 30.08.2010 | Any word from the testers. I'm really interested to see if this is effective on systems other than mine. |
| Random X 30.08.2010 | That's probably why it worked for my in Vista. (Turning UAC off was one of the first things I did. ) |

| Maisie Marras 29.08.2010 | oh, i dont have any problems with that so i couldnt tell you if anything was fixed. sorry |
| Graham Frazier 29.08.2010 | It's a mysterious device, that may or may-not fix the glitch's and crackles caused when using features such as "Send Monitor State" to activate leds with a windows machine. |
| Maisie Marras 29.08.2010 | i would be interested in this, but what is it? im kinda busy now, so weather or not i do it depends on what it is |
| Graham Frazier 29.08.2010 | Try it with loopbe4. PM on the way. |
| Delila Vandommelen 29.08.2010 | I have plenty of things which light up - ddm4000, lpd8, some X1s. If your app works with loopbe1 on vista I can give a hand (or maybe I'll just clone my new, freshly stabilized xp partition before and go with that..) |

| Graham Frazier 29.08.2010 | MidiYoke works on 7, i wonder why not vista... Oh well, PM on the way. |
| Alice Kanning 29.08.2010 | Oke, i'm up too! Only i use LoopBe1, it's like Yoke working under Vista |
| Graham Frazier 29.08.2010 | PM on the way. |
| Dorcas Bassignani 29.08.2010 | i'm up for some testing. i'm assuming it's something to with crispy sound when leds come on? |
