Traktor Mapping Question
Posted on: 23.10.2010 by Karolis Petrauskas
Thanks to my good friend Haze I am now a proud owner of a Kontrol-X1.

I'd like to make it a standalone controller for Traktor to use when I play out in small NYC lounges with horrible DJ booths. What I would like to do is create a button bank on each side of the EQ's (1,2,3 buttons) and create a knob that works just like a DJM-800's color knob works. For example...Delay, Reverb, DJM Filter or maybe even a super knob once I get an understanding. My goal is to keep the remaining knobs as eq knobs. Any info is appreciated, thanks in advance for the help!

If you don't mind, could you post it when you're done? I like the idea, would like to try it out.

If anyone's working on midi mode I've made an fully functioning EQ section with LED feedback and monitor state updating using the FX button deck assignment format, just a base to start from cos I've run out of ideas lol. Can upload if needed.

I'm having some issue here...Traktor is doing what it's supposed to in terms of switching the effects but when I press the buttons other buttons light up also. This happens on screen and on the x1.

For example:

When I press: ON, 1,2,3 I want each button to select an effect and turn another one off. I have it set up so the #3 knob controls each parameter correct when I hit the button I want. I am using chained mode and the functionality seems to be working but the light are acting wacky.

Setup like this:

m8:1 = on = effect 1
m8:2 = 1 = effect 2
m8:3 = 2 = effect 3
m8:4 = 3 = Mixer Filter

#3 knob controls one effect when I press it's button

Dry Wet knob = treble
Knob 1 = Mid
Knob 2 = Low

I have it set so when I press one key it also takes the other 3 to 0 in direct mode. It works but for some reason I see the ones that are supposed to be turned off light up for about 1 second or less.

Please help...I just realized I've been sitting here for 2 hours LOL.

Lets see what I can come up with and I will post when I make some progress.

what up brother.... I see your getting creative. This is easy to do, and that video by army of me is the best tutorial out there.

So if I get this right you want in native mode your 1,2,3 knobs to be your EQ's.

The only other knob you have left is your dry/wet. In native it could still be just/dry wet. Then in your effects banks you have delay, reverb, filter.

So if you press button 1, it turns on delay and if you hold it now your dry/wet controls the delay amount. button 2 does the same for reverb? you could make it toggle also instead of hold. The only thing you have to do that's not on the video is make a modifier.

if you use lets say M1. Then in native mode (your eq's, dry/wet) will all be M1=0

Then the other buttons you can assign a number effect 1 M1=1, effect 2 M1=2. Then you have to put that in the modifier column. when M1=1 that means you pressed the button then it will control the effect. When M1=0 you have not, so thats when it's dry/wet.

Its been a long day. Hope this made sense. If I find sometime next week. I'll try to make effect one and send you the tsi. I just don't have a way to test it.

I'd like to do all in HID mode.. I want to use shift as little as possible. Yes the D/W knob would work great and the 1,2,3 knobs will be hi,mid,low. Thanks

Are you planning on using the D/W knobs for this, leaving 1,2 and 3 knobs as EQs?

Is this in MIDI mode?
