2 Deck Launchpad w/ 8 Cues+Loop+Instant Gratification FX
Posted on: 15.03.2011 by Wenona Murro
Thanks to many contributors of DJTT community s (Str8upDrew, l0rdr0ck, alex8337 and others) I was finally able to get my launchpad fully mapped and ready for combat! Since I am fairly new to midi mapping this took me about a week to finalize, so I decided I would share with other members. Here is a layout of the mapping I have put together. The beatphase LED was just for fun but I decided to leave it, sort responds like KIT's lights from Kevening Rider but to the beat. The mapping has complete and colorful LED feedback response. This mapping is for Traktor Pro and does not use Automap.



Hope this mapping will be of use to some of you other DJs. I have included all the .tsi files along with midi yoke and bome's inside the .rar file

Thanks again for everyone's hard work in helping me learn midi mapping! Enjoy

should be easy to change the mapping if you have 2 free buttons. i haven't tried this mapping but guess the top row of the midifighter isnt mapped since 24 buttons are being used for the 3 rows for 2 decks. would just need to map col1,row1 somewhere to act as hold for deck 'a' and col1,row1 to act as hold for deck 'b'

Is there a way to have multiple pages on Launchpad and run more than one tsi script? Would be amazing if so. Thanks for all the hard work guys!
intermediate software. i first bought midikatapult before starting to dev my own code. it's only about 20bucks i believe and definately worth grabbing - plus the demo is free for 30mins i believe at a time.

I've also been trying to switch the sample toggle buttons to be shift keys, because I don't like having to switch back and forth so often.

I'll post my .tsi when I get it working perfectly.
Ok just installed this and love it!!! (3.0)

Are you saying sample triggers changed to hold the effect? I would love to see something that lets me hold the beat repeat on and change it up without holding down the keys (like S4)... or even like the MidiFighter where it locks in the effect

Also I believe loop move buttons would be moneyyy... great idea!

If the effects are not working people, RELOAD THE TSI FILES, make sure your ins and outs are set to the launchpad and make sure you use the IMPORT button AT THE TOP, not the one at the bottom.

Happy controlling!

Can you tell me if you're running a firewire soundcard, and by which chipset manufacturer?

I Had the same problems with my echo audiofire 2 running on a Ricoh chipset.
Did work with all my software without problems, but it seems the chipset can't handle the datastream when instant grat is used, or even as you mentioned importing the tsi's and assigning it to the launchpad turning the led's on.

When I switched to my audio 8 dj interface (USB) the problem was gone.

One more note on the hotcue issue.

If you change a cue to a load marker the light goes out.

Simple fix, u just need to increase the controller range to 5 for each hotcue state. This will cover all possible cue marker types.

I've been reinstalling the latest from Novation already, but it was already up to date.
I've been having some fun with it today, it was working pretty well (no cpu charge), and all of a sudden it froze again.
There were nothing else running on the computer, and it was "breathing" (it's a laptop)...

Thank you for your work

1. track browse deck A (up direction) does not work

3. on initial load of the tsi files, only a few of the lights turn on. Once everything has been pressed it lights up. All lights work fine on restart.

4. Deck A Gator efx? (instant grat, bottom left corner button) does not work.

The sample decks are really sweet. Might take a little getting used to with the load, toggle, play buttons but I believe it works very well.

The new browse tracks method is great! A simple toggle without having to load a track would be sweet, but i believe you have a winner there.
Thanks for your feedback. Those issues sound like you are not loading th tsi files properly. Make sure you load all 4 files individually by using the "add" from the top button then select "import". With the effects ordering correct all instant grat fx are there except for one of the filters replaced with flange and lo-fi i replaced with a quick tt stop.

In addition, I have a comment to make. In the 2.0 mapping the cue points all light up when they're activated, yet in this mapping it only lights up the hot cues, the grid markers however do not light up brighter like the others, is this just a little something I can change in the mapping or is it a bug?
I have noticed a small bug with cue points. The initial (Hotcue 1) is set but the pad is not illuminated until it is erased and set again. I am looking into this issue. It is the same commands and modifiers as previous mappings so this is a little odd, but I am looking into it.

if you want to add more tsi's to what you already have loaded then don't use the big import button at the bottom. use the 'add' button near the top... "add -> import"

Well I found it but I don't get how I change it. They are already set for the effects in the mapping but when performed with the launchpad a different effect comes on. What am I missing?

Thank you so much your mapping is awesome and so much fun to play with on my launchpad. If I can get the VCI combo going I would be in debt to you.
All you need to do is compare the effects order from my mapping, and the VCI mapping. Go into controller management. Find the desired effect "Effect Select 1,2,3..." and change it to the correct effect from the VCI mapping. Let me know if you need any help.

also another question...

how can I change one of the effect parameters in the Instant Gratification mapping? for example when I press of the Filter (where the phaser used to be) it comes on to harshly and causes clipping on the master output. for example when i press it on the filter jumps to say 60% and causes clipping so I need to reduce the amount the filter comes on to say 40% if that makes sense.
Go to controller management find the TR and TL tsi. You will need to do this in each. The command you are looking for is "Effect 2 Amount" for FX Unit 1. Reduce the number listed.

sounds odd. i've never had a single crash using my launchpad on windows - except for the couple of times i managed to create a midi feedback loop - but that had nothing to do with the launchpad driver

with the fx on those decks? Well I started it, but realized it was many more hours of mapping. Its possible with a modifier toggle but wasnt worth my time as this was a feature that I wouldnt use.

Yeah I may have exported the the TR twice and named incorrectly. Im almost finished with the full mapping. I have got all the sample pads mapped, now I am just trying to make a modifier to toggle the instant grat fx to decks c and d. May require some time though so here is what I have so far. I will post the final version soon

-Modifier+sample trigger deletes sample
-Modifier+sample play=Play type "loop" "one shot"
-mixer toggles between load sample from list when engaged
-sample play top circles
-sample trigger pads bellow
-user 2 currently master bpm tap (will be fx switch for c&d)

-Left Side EQ kills (Bottom 3 Deck B, Top 3 Deck A)
-old master and sync are now browsing features
-Hold modifier toggles between list and tree when held
-Beat Sync is now the Beat Phase Monitor
-Track loading is Modifer+Play (I only allow deck to loaded when stopped)
-Modifier is the same that deletes hotcues

Please post back all bugs, questions and comments, thanks!

I'd be interested to see what you come up with.
Peace.
I have eliminated most of those features as I found most werent using them of course as everyone is using different gear my mapping wont cater to all, but with the latest installment there will be more hands on with sample deck control.

I believe a more control over the sample deck would be very usefull. atm i dont really the sample decks as ive got no buttons setup.
Sample decks are going to get a lot more attention this time around. I have 18 free pads just trying to get the best use of these pads only for sample decks.
