Keyboard as midifighter?
Keyboard as midifighter? Posted on: 24.10.2011 by Arletha Heddens Yes, i know that this has been asked before, and it seems that someone has got pretty close to it (But it doesn't work with TP2)Anyway. LEFT DECK 1234 qwer asdf zxcv RIGHT DECK 7890 uiop jkl; m,./ Now i'm not to knowledged in the different mappings for the midifighter - But i just need more effect buttons so i can pull of some fun stuff, and this seems like a relatively easy enough way of doing it. Is it just as easy as using bomes or glove pie to convert the letters into the midi for the respective midifighter button? But how can i make it so the left side controls the left deck, and the rightside controls the right deck individually? Cheers | |

| Arcelia Siebeneck 25.10.2011 | the problem with using a qwerty keyboard as a midifighter is the way that keyboards do their matrixes... you might have a problem when you try to press more than 2 keys down at once. also, a usb numpad would probably make more sense, rather than a full qwerty keyboard. |

| Kesha Pietrak 24.10.2011 | in traktor you can assign what effect unit is effecting which deck so just do that, either that or you can have it so when you press the key it automatically assigns the effect unit you want to control to the deck you want it to (ex: you press "1" and it automatically routes the effect to deck A) |
