Introduction and Goals of "The Ultimate FX Thread"

This thread is going to be dedicated to posting an evolving list of FX parameters. Anyone who has any custom instant press, Super Fader, Super Knob or Jog FX mappings, please post them on here so others can learn how to map FX and eventually create their own. Thanks, lets hope this gets good feedback!

This thread now contains all of the Instant Gratification parameters!
Soon to have Jog FX parameters!

FX Store Preset

Map ^both^ to Effect selector knob. That should do it

All parameters are correct and if your controllers send NOTE ON on press and NOTE OFF on release this should work just fine. Hope you get it sorted soon.

I'm running Traktor 2.6. Here's the only thing I can believe of that can be preventing me from getting the effect to work correctly.

EX: Add in > FX Unit > Effect Selector > type-button / mode-direct / value=Beatmasher

I assigned these to Effect Selector 1 since there is no "Effect Selector" as an option. Would that be the problem?

Would anyone be able to assist me in mapping my S2? I have attempted to map it myself with no success. I want to map each of the 4 effect knobs on each side as a super knob that will mirror each other on either side. 1st being a delay with an echo freeze when you hit the button below, 2nd being the armyofme swoosh, 2nd being a gater,iceverb & flanger and and I am not sure about the fourth (maybe a filter but open to any suggestions). I would also like to map it so the cue headphone would automatically kick on when a new track is loaded into a deck. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am running Traktor 2.61 btw.

Hey TreTuna, I remember that project. Looking forwards to see how it goes. Also, if you can bring something on topic here it would be very helpful:

Just got done reading through all of this. Amazing post!! I had put my "Ultimate Maschine FX Mapping" on hold for a bit, and with this post now, I'm glad I did! So much new stuff to add in! I'll be breaking it back out later this week and will report back with my own additions and maybe a TSI for those Maschine owners out there too.

You are welcome mate! No worries, you can still map this knob parameters to your toggle button

exactly what I was believeing (I definitely should have bought a K2....)

thks you very much stewe, and thanks for your amazing work/mapping, i use it a lot

EDIT : it works in midi mode

--> when i puch learn, and i turn my knob from the x1, it doesn't propose me "type button" but just "type knob"....
Don't own an X1 to confirm this but it might be limited for mapping the button type commands in to knob - same as S2/S4.

Thx for sharing ONotice. I'll see how I can map something similar on my XoneK2.

Same thing, thx for sharing Stewe. I'm going to work on this and see how I can apply it to my XoneK2 mapping.

I'm be back at it this week to see what other FX mapping can be crated in Traktor.

Here are the LaserSlicer and Strretch (slow) MIDI commands. First download this -----> PDF

Next watch video to see how I mapped the commands. You can play & pause the video when you are mapping and each highlilghted line shows the setting on the right. I didn't include LED outs or the modifier commands so you will need to map them on your own. If you don't undertand modifiers READ THIS.

You will need to create (2) modifiers. And use (4) button for the beatmasher (3) Buttons for Slice N Strretch & (2) Faders to control LaserSlice and Strretch knob values.


I'm sorry I didn't have time to write this all out in the format we've been using. But believe a screencast could save us all some time.

PS. If you want to make your own screencasts you can do them on screenr.com for free.

I edited the the post to say slow macro, and if your willing organizing the parameters the same way everything else is saves a ton of time for myself and others looking to learn.

Hey guys,

Today I'll be sharing this mapping feature, I found it useful and hope you're gonna love it as well

Basically when button is pressed the rmx applies secondary (brake) effect and while releasing the same button it automatically turns off all of the effects that are currently active. Now, the break effect is straight forward - all you need to do is to map simple button/hold type effect and that does it but here's about release kill effect.

The release effect can be accomplished by using inverted direct=0 settings but because not every controller sends same type of MIDI massage we'll use one modifier to do the trick here just in case.

Add In > Modifier #1 / type-button / interaction-hold / value=1
Add In > Effect button / modCon M1=1 / type-button / interaction-hold

Map both to same button/pad

Here's a short demo. This feature is part of my CNTRL:R ultimate tool!



The effects I've used before dropping release button are flanger, iceverb and filter LFO in group and T3 delay in single effect mode. And for break effect I've mapped laser slicer with value 0.000 - sounds pretty cool!

Stewe,

Hey man, added this to one of my Super FX columns on the XoneK2. I've got it set w/ these parameter on FX Unit #4, Tape Delay on FX Unit #1, and kept the delay FX Unit #2 on there too.

Any other ideas w/ multile FX units Stewe?

If you are running (2) decks here is a way you can use all (4) FX Units and toggle either Deck #1 or Deck #2 or have both getting FX at the same time. Here's a screenshot of the mapping.
