Reply to Laptop Keyboard & Traktor Pro (rewrote the default for messing around on the go)

I was always frustrated with the Traktor's default mapping for a laptop keyboard, so I made a new one. It's designed for messing around with on the go, I'm not sure if it's performance proof yet. It was made for a mac, so if anyone's rocking windows, it may require some tweaking. Here's the layout:

It's made for two-deck playback, so the keyboard is split into two sections basically. The top row of letters, Q-[ is for the first deck, and A-' is for the second deck, so the controls for the second deck are identical to the first, just shifted a row down.

Q - Play/Pause
W - Cue
Shift+W - Cue Play
E - Set to master
R - Sync

::Loop Mode::
The keys U-[ are a bank that can operate in either loop mode or FX mode. You can toggle between the two by hitting Cmd+U. By default, it starts in Loop Mode.

U - Drop 8 count loop
I - Loop In
O - Loop Out
P - Decrease Loop Size
[ - Increase Loop Size

These next five controls act like the Dicer, dropping a short loop that's active for as long as you hold the key

Shift + U - 1/16
Shift + I - 1/8
Shift + O - 1/4
Shift + P - 1/2
Shift + [ - 1


::FX Mode::
Cmd+U - switch into FX Mode for Deck A
U - FX Advanced On/Off
I, O, P, [ - FX Advanced Parameter 3 (sets it to 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% respectively, allowing you to quickly control the length of a delay, etc
Shift + Z, X, C, V, B, N, M, ,, ., or / - Hitting Shift and any of the bottom row of keys assigns an effect to the FX1 panel. This bank of 10 is easily reassignable.

Cmd + J - switch into FX Mode for Deck B
J - FX Advanced On/Off
K, L, ;, ' - FX Advanced Parameter 3 (sets it to 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% respectively, allowing you to easily control the length of a delay, etc
Option + Z, X, C, V, B, N, M, ,, ., or / - Hitting Option and any of the bottom row of keys assigns an effect to the FX1 panel. This bank of 10 is easily reassignable.

::Cues::
Number keys 1, 2, 3, and 4 are Hotcues 1, 2, 3, and 4 on Deck A
Number keys 5, 6, 7, and 8 are Hotcues 1, 2, 3, and 4 on Deck B
Hitting ` (tilde key) changes the two banks from activating cues 1-4 to cues 5-8. If the cues aren't already assigned, hitting the key will drop it right there.

::Other fun features::
The arrow keys are assigned as High Kill, Mid Kill, Lo Kill, etc (works with the Xone mixer setting too)

Hitting Shift + Space activates a manual gater (I made it up, I'm not sure what to call it), but it zeroes out the volume of the selected deck, until you tap the space bar and then keeps it up until you let go. Hitting Shift + Space again deactivates.

There's also a feature called FX Supermode. Hitting Tab switches Traktor from the normal key layout to Supermode for FX1 (advanced). The number keys 1-0 control Dry/Wet (10% increments), Q-P control Parameter 1 (10% increments again), A-; controls Parameter 2, and Z-/ controls Parameter 3. You can slide your fingers across the keyboard and have it act like a touch slider. This allows for a lot of expression with the FX. Hitting Tab again switches to Supermode for FX2 (also advanced), with the same control scheme for the parameters. Hitting Tab one more time cycles back to normal operation.

That's about it! I hope you guys find it useful.
