S4 + Maschine - Mapping Maschine for Creative FX Control?
Have the S4 + Maschine, wanting to find / create a mapping for the Maschine so it can be used alongside the S4 as follows:

- Uses 2 FX banks
- Routing of FX controlled by 4 buttons above screens, corresponding to on / off for ABCD for each screen (left = FX1, right = FX2)
- Dry/wet of FX controlled by knob on far bottom left of each screen
- Vertical row of buttons to immediate left of pads (Scene, Pattern, Pad Mode, etc.) correspond to different "groups" of FX arrangements. Pressing one loads different FX presets for FX banks 1 & 2, some grouped, some single FX. Pressing mute makes pads operate as cue points 1-8 for decks A & B.
- Pads operate FX in all other "groups" of FX arrangements. Column 1/2 operates FX 1, 3/4 operate FX 2. When a pad is pressed, FX is turned on and operated based on setting for a given pad or pads based on preset selected. LED feedback lights pads up when pressed.
- Remaining knobs below windows display controls for FX being activated by pad and can be adjusted so an effect can be "played." On release of pad, settings returned to previous state
- Knobs 1/2 under "Master" = superknobs w/ FX combinations activated by pressing and holding note repeat then turning knob. 1 = FX bank 1, 2 = FX bank 2.
- 3rd knob sets tempo control to master then adjusts tempo of master clock for creative control over tempo

Does something like this exist? I am completely new to MIDI mapping and can't seem to get a grip on where to start. Is this even possible? I want to get started but just don't know where to begin.

Thanks guys!

EDIT: And, of course, any suggestions on adjusting this so it makes more sense or is easier to use would be great.

Also worth explaining: the reason for the setup is to allow for more collaborative DJ sessions. My roommate and I both DJ, but pretty much do it solo as the layout of the S4 makes it difficult for one to work effects while the other handles mixing, etc. In my experience, the best DJ's I've ever seen have been two man teams operating together to produce really interesting effects that would otherwise be impossible without physically having more hands (or being absolutely insanely talented, which I'm not).
