Typhoon and Traktor pro help please.
Posted on: 01.01.2011 by Hee Wendl
New to the community , hope I can get a little help. I just got a typhoon and I upgraded to Traktor Pro 1.2.7. My set up is working good, I believe, and I have more than the recommended ram and OS. Vista duo core .

I do have a few questions that I can't really find definitive answers to, so this is where you come in.....

1) Crossfader, I have read where I could change it by mapping it differently? Any link to help read up on that? I'd like to optimize it scratch a liittle.

2)There is a TSI midi preset file available on vestax's website. Do I need that? Is that what the controller already had in it?

3)Jog wheel sensitivity. What excatly is it for??

4)Gains and levels... When i load tracks to descks, it seems to reset or not stay the same level. I have to readjust them and its almost like it "catches up" with traktor.. I did notice that there is an option on loading tracks and I have the "reset when loading track" NOT ticked.

Im sure there will be more.. but any help now would get me going on a bedroom mix.. thanks.

Hah, I can find myself totally in what you say mate.
I'm used to vinyl too, and it felt strange to switch over to controllers and DVS
systems.

But yeah, it's just so easy...

I don't believe the Typhoon has a crossfader curve adjustment.

There's wasn't one in it, but I believe if you run the setup wizard and select the Typhoon as your controller it'll load that mapping. You're free to map the controller how you want, but that one will give you all the basic controls as mapped.

Here's a couple different mappings you could try. A Google search will find you more.

How sensitive the jogs are to your touch.

You probably have auto gain selected in preferences. That will adjust the gain according to how loud Traktor believes the track is. The catching up may be soft takeover. That will not move the software controller until the hardware controller matches the location.

01.01.2011		Hey mate, I have a Vestax Spin, and it's almost the same as the Typhoon!

Im confused on the "sinsitivity" part----it controls how "hard" i touch the wheels, or it controls "how fast/slow it rw or ff"
The sensitivity knob changes the feeling of the platter.

If the sensitivity is high, you don't have to push hard on the platter/jog wheel to respond on traktor.
If the sensitivity is low, you have to push hard for it to respond.

Do you get it?
About the FX, can't help you with that.

01.01.2011		Thank you for the quick response.

also one other bug i found.. if i switch between a few efx on a track, it seems as though it doesnt trigger the efx everytime. but if i start freash on a loaded track it works fine.
