Reply to Question about getting the IG mapping to (semi) work with other controllers

I've spent the last couple of hours going through various threads on DJTT to try and work this one out, to no avail. It's my understanding that 4 banks mode merely changes the function of the top 4 buttons so that you can change banks, switch deck focus and apply IG effect holds.

But if you were to use a controller that doesn't have any ability to change banks, would the instant gratification effects still work? (so long as I use the same midi notes as a midi fighter). In particular, why wouldn't the super combos still work? For example, super combo 1 is activated by pressing 4 notes down. When the Traktor mapping detects 4 notes it applies a secondary effect. Is there any more to it other than some mapping magic? (ie extra tricks going on in the firmware).
