CMD LC-1 mapping by DJ Patec - insane Traktor mapping!
Posted on: 20.02.2013 by Diogo Dj Dragão


Patec was one of the DJs at the Behringer booth for NAMM 2013, and we gave all the guys controllers to take home. About 2 weeks later I got this video from Patec that blew me away. I thought I would share this with you guys so you could see the kind of functionality that can be achieved with a single CMD controller.

Now I see four inc/dec modifiers for banking and other four at shift buttons. It's nice to see that first bit more advanced functionality mapping for CMD!

This is why LC-1 is the sickest controller for traktor EVER imo. I personally can't stand using a ton of shift button or pages with modifiers etc.. so I am getting 3 of these - 1 for each deck. After a ton of mapping I am also basically not going to ever have to look at my computer screen either except to select tracks - all the feedback I will need will be on straight LEDs - so wicked. Plus having encoders as well is really nice - this is really the only difference between these and the launchpad. Really looking foward to it.

Its a controller mapping demo FFS.

1. is this released yet / or when will it be?
2. will it ship with a control surface for ableton live (as in the red ring around the clips)
They are in manufacturing now. You can expect them to start showing up in stores in March. As for "red box" support, that's a solid maybe. I WANT it, but we'll see how that works out.

21.02.2013		I'll tell you that you did things in this preset I never thought of, so much kudos for broadening my horizons!

19.02.2013		Pretty nice work! This is insane to some people for sure although for some other people like one hour of clicking

I wonder if this burns all the modifiers?
Kristofer Krauel
19.02.2013		Them buttons sound like they have a sweet little "click" to them!! Is the mechanism the same for the buttons on the other controllers?

...not sure how exactly to map that (if an effect button is enabled, then having it flash along with displaying the interpolated value on the led)...
You don't have to worry about interpolation - the firmware does it automatically. All you have to do is make an output message in Traktor with the range of 1-15 and have blend on (the 0 value is the off state, so you start with 1). To blink that value, you could do a number of things depending on what you were trying to accomplish.

19.02.2013		Whoo boy sounds fun.. not sure how exactly to map that (if an effect button is enabled, then having it flash along with displaying the interpolated value on the led), but hopefully some hardcore mapping people can band together. Patec def knows what is up. Looking forward to this... For the love of god please arrive at long + mcquade soon.
Diogo Dj Dragão
19.02.2013		There will be a fully documented MIDI spec on release. Basically, the output message for a control is the input message you need to send to drive the LEDs. For the encoders, there are 15 LEDs, so values are interpolated from 128 values to 15. Encoder rings do not have a native "flash" message, but can be made to flash by alternating the messaging.

So, if the encoder sends out B0 2A **, then sending that encoder B0 2A 00-0F will drive that LED ring. To flash them, alternate between sending B0 2A 00 and the current value (like B0 2A 09).
Ilana Enderson
19.02.2013		LED output looks good. Is there going to full documentation on it so that mapping is a little easier/we can plan it out (what colour can flash etc..)? I assume the rings around the encoders can fill up as the midi data goes from 0-127 rather than only have the one light move around the ring.. can you confirm this? Also, can the LED rings around the encoders flash?
