Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.
Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions. Posted on: 26.01.2011 by Demetra Pinizzotto In another thread I added two small tutorials for mapping in traktor.It seemed like a good way to show beginning mappers where to begin, answer mapping questions, and see what other people are mapping. This way every one can get new ideas and learn how to map their own. The format is: title with subject description of the mapping, (maybe a very short video to show it) text explanation in steps screen shots of the mapping window. see my two tutorials down here. | |
| Loralee Erban 25.06.2011 | believe you need a big ass laptop.... and then go into the layout settings in the manager and flick though diff options |
| Sherwood Jayasuriya 25.06.2011 | hello everyone, i have a question but im guessing its an easy one to answer. how do i put que filters on the sample deck slots? i see images of other people using traktor pro 2 in wich the sample decks have filters and volume knobs, mine only has volume... hope anyone can help! |

| Nella Meany 21.06.2011 | Hello DJTT!! Enjoy this site tremendously. I've never posted before; I never really needed to. I can't seem to find any good answers on how to import a tsi file into an Excel spreadsheet. This is my task at hand, as I need to do this to build the best tsi possible for my new MPK mini, Using TSP2. This controller seems to have few pre-existing tsi files available for it. I have my own preliminary mapping, but need to modify it to get it JUUUST RIGHT! My nanoPad mapping is cool, for a nanoPad (on my second one, cool but flimsy). I have since found I need more control options within a set so... I now have the Traktor Bible (a big help!!!), and have gotten a few rather respectable tsi files such as Ean's Oxygen mapping, chosen for the similar format of the devices. Too many obvious differences to be able to just use it "as is", plus I need to modify the tsi for my own needs. It would be nice to just print a particular tsi file's commands out to inspect and study, as well as to be able to debug my own tsi when completed. It would be nice also if said tool would be able to import changes made in a tsi file back into the Traktor interface. That function would just be an added bonus, though. In my search, I have found where it appears that Rainer had developed a tool for this very function, but it seems it has been abandoned a while back. I don't feel it necessary to explain what a tremendous advantage it would be to simply be able to look at midi tsi file commands on a spreadsheet. If it were to be possible, (which it has to be, right? haha) there seems to be an issue that would arise with the "Button Options" field at the bottom of each mapping control. The value that corresponds to the control isn't carried up into the spreadsheet-style selection menu. I am under the assumption that this section is all that would be imported into an Excel spreadsheet though? One remedy I guess would be to notate that same value into the "Comment" field by hand, which IS carried over to the spreadsheet format. Any info on this subject would be appreciated. Thanks! |

The reason I made that assumption is because your question was about mapping something really simple. I didn't want to start throwing mapping commands at you if you didn't know the basics. My videos are also basic stuff, but at least 2 of them would have answered your question, and I would have directed you straight to them if I had known you knew how to map already. |
| Petronila Mothershead 09.06.2011 | I had all that down, but didnt realize that if you set effect amount to button, you can then set the value (and preset the amount of the effect). i had previously only mapped fx to knobs n faders, and didnt know better. Thanks anyway! |

| Petronila Mothershead 06.06.2011 | Sorry, your videos are too basic and rather unhelpful. Of course I know how to MIDI map, and have been doing so a long time. what I DONT know how to do is the question i asked: save, map and then load custom FX parameters with a single button, as is done in both the IG and the deckalized mappings. |

| Charline Dye 04.06.2011 | Eans midifighter TSI's are located in the Midifighter Forum. |
| Marva Cupid 30.05.2011 | Hey fellow djranking
ers Can anyone tell me how Eans Mf is mapped in this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n97Z9c1axRU Hope you can help thanks Damon |
| Petronila Mothershead 28.05.2011 | In the instant gratification mapping, it's set up so that certain buttons load and activate preset fx. How do i set, save, and then map to midi my own fx settings? |
| Tatum Ansaldo 26.05.2011 | Do you have the controller in/out ports properly selected? LED feedback can interfere with the midi messages and cause unwanted behaviour if the ports are set to 'all ports'. |
| Lilliana Luong 23.05.2011 | I have a numark mixtrack and I have each of the jog wheels mapped to "seek position" on traktor 2. They are both mapped the exact same way except for they control different decks, however; when I try to look ahead in a track with the deck A jog wheel it kills the sound to deck B. Yet, I can go through the entire deck B track without interrupting what's on deck A at all. I don't understand how they do different things while they are mapped the exact same. The track still plays but the volume fader on the other deck goes all the way down to zero, even though I don't touch the fader. It is like a kill switch for the other deck and it's both frustrating and confusing. Has anyone ever encountered this? I could export my tsi file if that would help. |

| Bernardo Soileau 20.05.2011 | I haven't really wanted to ask around, but I've tried so many search terms that I am running out of ideas, so please bear with me if this was asked before. 8 hot cues mapped on 8 separate buttons. I set a different button as mod1=1. Now, what I want to do is when mod1=1 and a hot cue button is pressed it deletes the hot cue. I mapped the same buttons to delete hotcue when mod1=1, it'll delete the hot cue, but it also sends the track to the hotcue. Any help would be appreciate in making it not play the hotcue prior to erasing it. I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance! -Diego |
| Tatum Ansaldo 19.05.2011 | when you say it kills the sound, how exactly does it do that? lower the volume, pause the track? |

| Lyman Fard 18.05.2011 | aa i meaned i want cancel my mapping and turn to kx1 orginal default fx.ss sorry 4 my gramm |

| Anna Jenny 13.05.2011 | it seems theres a really switched on group of people in this thread so i was hoping someone might be able to help me with a problem i'm having - i cant work out if im doing something wrong (or missing something simple) or its just a limitation of traktor? what i'm trying to do is have a single key perform the same command multiple times - ie. the key '3' has 'cue/loop move' -> 'forward' mapped to it 3 times so it jumps forward 3 times. however it doesnt work and it only jumps forward 1 time. clicking the > arrow in the cue/loop bar underneath the track display 3 times works and using the example above, i have the '1' key mapped to move forward 1 time, and pressing it 3 times also works. long story short - why doesnt having the same command 3 times on 1 key work like you'd believe? if i have to press a key 7 times to move a loop forward 7 beats i may as well not even bother i believe that should explain the problem but just in case i'm not making any sense i have another thread with a more detailed description of the problem and what i believe is causing it here: http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=30038 thanks for any help on this! |

| Lilliana Luong 11.05.2011 | I am trying to map my controller on Traktor 2. My issue is that I have three buttons assigned to different effects. What I want is to be able to also map those same three buttons to be used as kills for the high, mid and low EQ using a modifier. I have the modifier selected and I have mapped a modifier button. But when I hold the modifier and press the button, both the kill and the effect happen. Is there a way where I can make the assignment coming from the modifier the exclusive one. Or when I use modifiers will I always have to chain commands. It seems stupid. I thought that modifiers would be ways to double my control assignments. |

You're going to want to change controller range from the default values, but first some background on how it works. The controller range is in charge of what values will light up the LED, in this case when the master level left will turn on the LED. With that in mind change the values of controller range from min 0 max 1 to min .25 max .5, now when your levels are anywhere between .25 and .5 it will light up the first LED. 5.Repeat for the rest of the LEDs you want to map and changing the values of the controller range for the new values you want it to light up as for example the next one would be min .5 max .75 6. Repeat for Master Level Right. 6.I also mapped clip to the fourth pad, which is in Add Out < Output < Master Clip Left/ Master Clip Right. I hope that makes sense, if you don't understand just let me know. |

I believe someone should make one, that shows traktor software interface and all proper controller management tags that go with each function in the with an arrow or numbered diagram. |

Sample Deck C Slot 1 play Sample Deck C Slot 2 play Sample Deck C Slot 3 play Sample Deck C Slot 4 play Sample Deck D Slot 1 play Sample Deck D Slot 2 play Sample Deck D Slot 3 play Sample Deck D Slot 4 play I have tried to learn the button and set the options to load up in the right sample slot and have managed to get 1 working and when trying the same thing but next slot, I can never get another one to work. I really want to assign these buttons to my AKAI MPD 24 so i can use it for effects and and samples |
