The Ultimate FX Thread
The Ultimate FX Thread Posted on: 19.11.2012 by Valeri Millstein 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! TABLE OF CONTENTS: Post 2: Instant Press FX, Instant Grat Post 3: Smart Knobs Post 4: Jog Wheels Post 5: Specials Post 6: TSI Files | |

Add a modifier / type=button / interaction=inc Duplicate three times and assign commands to selected four buttons. Should look like this: Now press and hold all four buttons and check modifier state display. Notice that your modifier state says value 4 (as in pic^) and that's because every button is programmed only to increase value by one no matter in which order or direction you're pressing buttons. But, When you release the buttons modifier value will got stuck at 4... And we want it to be 0 in order to use this combo again. This is how we do it: Add a modifier / type=button / check invert. Change interaction mode to direct and set value to 0. Now duplicate this Invert 0 command and map to all buttons. Value should switch to 0 right on release. Time to test |
Kellie Myrum 30.05.2013 | Nope. I didn't post that. Just saying it is interesting combo to use for techno. I'd also like to see what others can come up with or to hear what combos you believe are worth experimenting with certain music genre. |

Kellie Myrum 28.05.2013 | No sound. I didn't do anything musically so I didn't record it. Just bank switching as title says. |
Delena Katherman 28.05.2013 | Anyone else not getting sound in Stewe's video? |

Kellie Myrum 27.05.2013 | @0notice Can you keep this sticky updated with video content and parameters? What happen to enthusiasm? |

Welcome to the club. It's been a three years since I repeat myself about increased number of modifiers and condition slots.

THANKS A LOT STEWE
Also, If you have some parameters to share here is the right place to post them All the best, |

I mapped my filter so it works to +85 to -85 instgead of +-100 (I like it that way better) but sometimes it drift if I use the knob in my other mode which is balance...and I'm stuck with something like +5 to 90 and +5 to -80 or something like that...So I will probably set it back to direct THANKS A LOT STEWE |

Could someone explain what the FX STORE PRESET does exactly...how the events happens with or without it
after that I believe I'll be OK to restart working my mapping |

Another TRAKTOR limitation I guess...

Kellie Myrum 14.05.2013 | You can use one button to set start values before using knob to manipulate effects but not the knob itself... Unless your controller is equipped with superfaders as I mentioned before. |

The problem is that i need to have the knob turn all the way down before activating the FX unit otherwise it moves my range values.... In other words what I would need is a direct mode but with ajustable range instead 0 to 1 IS there's something to do or is it a limitation to Traktor Hope it's clearer than my previous post? THANKS a lot for your help!!! |
Kellie Myrum 14.05.2013 | I believe that you need a peace of hardware such as MFpro that has superfaders which also sends a note at bottom as well as another note at the top of fader apart from standard CC. That way you could map gater to instantly jump to value 0.5 when you slam it all the way down and map your CC in relative mode so the parameter reaches 0.7 when you pull it all the way up. Although, it could be that I didn't understand what you're trying to achieve.. |
Lavinia Qualls 13.05.2013 | Hey guys! I'm having a hard time with smart knobs.... Tried to search but with no succes (doesn't even know how to title this problem) I totally understand the basic on how to map them...no problem here My problem is that in order for them to work properly, I must engage them with the knobs set to 0 (full CCW) What I would like to have is a mix between direct and relative knobs Example: FX unit 3 group mode controlled by a smart knob (activated by a button) I kill the fx unit 3 with knob fully CCW (0.0) but kicks in back with full cw(1.0) (since the knob is also used in FX UNIT 1) the d/w is set to direct so no problem here but knobs 1,2,3 are in relative...here comes the mess, it destroys my settings if for example knob 1 is gater and what I want is .5 to .7 from fully CCW to fully CW if I turn off at .5 (fully ccw) and bring the unit on but with the knob fully CW...I am still at .5 so turning to left will decrease the value to about .3 but what I want is to have the setting automatically set to .7 if the knob is set to fully CW (I want the value to correspond with the hardware) Maybe I'm missing something Maybe it's the fonction that I don't understand "FX STORE PRESET" I tough it had something to do with the checkbox "RESTORE PARAMETERS AFTER WHEN SWITCHING FX" but apparently from what I've tried toevening it has nothing to do with that Can you help me! Hope you understand my explanations! THANKS a lot! |
Kellie Myrum 12.05.2013 | Good to know. In my video the post fader has not been used. |

Wilson Durrum 11.05.2013 | I just mapped an echo freeze effect on my DDJSX and it works great. Does anyone know how I can make the button illuminate when the effect is on? |
Kellie Myrum 11.05.2013 | Add in dry/wet or any knob command > set type of controller to BUTTON > set interaction mode to DIRECT > set a value for each parameter from list. Sorry I didn't give explanation of this path but as I've posted many parameters here before and the most guys that are following this thread know some of mapping basics and how to get this stuff working. Hope that helps. |
Neoma Picklesimer 11.05.2013 | Sweeet! Profi sound, I like But how do I make this work? I mean, where do I put those knob values + d/w in? Am I going the right way tho? See pic below: ramp-delay.jpg |
Valeri Millstein 09.05.2013 | I really like the delay grat. Sounds really good. |
Kellie Myrum 03.05.2013 | Peak is D/W = 1.000 ; Knob = 1.000 and duplicate of same command with 'dec' mode (auto repeat check) Beatmashers are all at D/W = 0.750 ; Button 1 = 0.500 ; Button 2 = 0.800 ; Button 3 = 0.900 Have fun |
Lynetta Stanislav 03.05.2013 | Cool what the settings you have for it. cheers |
