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. | |
| Marguerite Truka 14.02.2011 | Hey download a copy of my book the answer with screen shots is there. Its on the F&Q page at the end of the book under the heading, I have two controllers and they seem to beconflicting?

But after all I can operate "loop out" with buttons "loop\2" and "loop x2." Actually question: how to correct a config that loop fx section supervised "loop in"??? Sorry for my bad english. |
| Doug Bieling 14.02.2011 | What are peoples tips on how to approach mapping (sorry if this has been answered in vids, i cant see them at work). I started mapping last evening and seem to realise its best for me (unless i'm missing something0 to split the sections of the mapping into there own tsi's. I set up a deck a tsi a deck b tsi and a global tsi. This way i could then duplicate just my A to make a B and i could do the same with A to make a C etc ... Ive read somewhere there is a tsi merger if i remember right so i can put them all together once ive finished. Am i along the right tracks or am is there some wonderful functionality i have missed somewhere? |
| Elnora Wisegarver 14.02.2011 | Hi there trying to use maping for mpd24 like Tom B But it conflics with my midifighter how can i use all without conflics .What i have is tsp 1.2.7 the rest is in my sig any help would be greatly appreciated .Trying to learn to map but for some reason my mpd is sending signal to traktor but is not doing any thing. When I install Toms maping All it does is key and one cue point thats it. |
| Demetra Pinizzotto 10.02.2011 | @Tombruton, as far as im concerned you can add these tips and tutorials to your book, mine at least. you could ask vangogo, about his. I scrolled thru your book. looks very good! |
| Lesha Roan 09.02.2011 | alright, looks to be the first question in this thread... i have a Numark Mixtrack and an Akai MPD26 just came in the mail today. what i'm trying to set up right now is having deck A and B controlled with the Mixtrack, including cues/hotcues/etc for those decks. decks C and D i would like to set up to control hot cues like sample decks with pre-put-together tracks that are just sets of 8 samples in a row that i jump around with hot cues, if that makes any sense, using the MPD26. the MPD26 would also be used for deleting hot cues on all 4 decks, faders and knobs for effects/filters, etc. so, i finally figured out how to map the hot cues for the sample decks on C and D with the MPD26, but now when i press the assigned button to set or delete a cue in one of those it does the sample action on the same hot cue number in deck a for c, and b for d. why is it doing this and does anyone know what i did wrong so i can change it so the hot cues are only controlled on c/d and not a/b simultaneously. i changed everything on the Mixtrack so it's on CC#1, and all controls on the MPD26 are on CC#2, so it's not a matter of overlapping controllers. |

| Demetra Pinizzotto 07.02.2011 | thanks vangogo! nice collection you have there, dont worry about the format. Maybe If the thread starts rolling we could make an article out of it for the main page. So not only community members with mapping questions see it. just a thought for the future. |
| Latoria Kavulich 06.02.2011 | Throw some questions up guys. |
| Dana Ordinario 06.02.2011 | LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this thread. Just throwing my 2 cents in there if I had a new innovative idea to throw up I would. |

| Charline Dye 06.02.2011 | per joostiisme's request here are some of my mapping videos to add to the thread. Sorry about not quite following the posting format. Some videos will walk you through step by step, others just tell you what you need to map. So if you can't figure out what to do from the video, come back to it after learning some of the more more basic midi mappings.You also may have to go to the youtube description to get the values to map. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF-KGo4uXNA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgCRVScNx-Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tce739CHTgA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsfe9uY2ZWU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMI9J4Ujx3Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSHV2TRtUm8 |
| Latoria Kavulich 06.02.2011 | This thread should be stickied i believe. Great stuff mate, keep em coming. |

| Latoria Kavulich 26.01.2011 | Hey guys. If you use an X1 and would like browser view when you go to select a track, and switch back to deck view when you load a track, here's what you need to do. You will need to add two extra commands, mapped to the browser knob and load button. The first command you are going to add is to tell traktor that when you move the browse encoder, you want to switch to browse mode. So to do that, go into the controller manager, select the X1 and do the following: Add In Only Browser Toggle Type Of Controller: Button Interaction Mode: Direct, Value=1 Click on learn and move the left browse to map it. Now by selecting direct and setting the value to 1, as soon as you touch the knob the value changes and will stay there until we use the second command to change it back to "0". Here's what it should look like ... Now when you scroll through tracks the view will change to Browser Mode. The second command you want to add is to tell traktor that one you have chosen your track, and go to load it, you want the view to revert back to deck view. So here's how we go about that: Add In Only Browser Toggle Type Of Controller: Button Interaction Mode: Direct, Value=0 Click on learn and click the browse knob in to map it. So now when you load a track, the view will change back to Deck View. Duplicate these for the right knob and you are ready to rock. Remember also, with the standard X1 mapping, SHIFT+LOAD toggles your view as well. BONUS MAPPING Now that you've got the deck/ browser view sorted, how about monitor cue toggles as well? Lets have a look at that. Now of course you can have all 4 decks cued at the same time, what i like however is the deck that i just loaded a track into to be monitored, and thats it so here's how you do that. We'll use Deck A as an example. This first part is straightforward, Just add a monitor cue mapping set to Deck A, mapped to your load button but use "Direct" instead of "Toggle" which you will see why shortly. Now here's the tedious part... You need to duplicate this 3 times, mapped to this same load button, but change the assignment on these to Decks B, C & D respectively and change the value to "0". Now go ahead and test this out. Select the monitor cues and Decks B,C & D and load a track into Deck A with the load button you just mapped. Deck A will be cued but all the other decks wont be. Its not magic, its science baby! Rinse and repeat for all the other decks and we'll see you next year Jester out. |
| Demetra Pinizzotto 26.01.2011 | This mapping is standard in the X1 mapping, but it is explained how it works. Advanced FX section, LED output When buttons are mapped to specific effects (effect select) and you want the corresponding button to light up when the effect is selected. The LED controller range needs to be set to the place of the effect in the list Effect: Delay, place in list: 1, range min. 1, range max. 1 Effect: beatmasher 2, place in list 15: , range min. 15, range max. 15 And so on. The mapping goes as followed Add out |
