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!

Kellie Myrum 03.05.2013 | The first button in bottom row is mapped for peak filter but it comes inverted so it makes that nice sweep down when you hit it. Other three buttons are just beat mashers with three different value. |
Lynetta Stanislav 03.05.2013 | Thanks Stewe going to map this toevening what was the button you pressed on the bottom row. |
Kellie Myrum 02.05.2013 | Thanks mate! I've added parameters in post under the video. |
Lynetta Stanislav 01.05.2013 | Stewe that sounds amazing can you share the commands for the buttons you have used. |
Kellie Myrum 01.05.2013 | This is an effect that Dubfire uses a lot. I believe it pretty cool for making transitions between tracks or for spicing up tracks on the fly. Make sure to set FX Unit in to single effect mode Button 1: Unit On = hold Button 2 = 0 Button 3 = 1 D/W = 0.550 Knob 1 = 0.700 Knob 2 = 0.350 Knob 3 = 0.500 Button 2: Unit On = hold Button 2 = 0 Button 3 = 1 D/W = 0.550 Knob 1 = 0.700 Knob 2 = 0.350 Knob 3 = 0.650 Button 3: Unit On = hold Button 2 = 0 Button 3 = 1 D/W = 0.550 Knob 1 = 0.700 Knob 2 = 0.350 Knob 3 = 0.800 Button 4: Unit On = hold Button 2 = 0 Button 3 = 1 D/W = 0.550 Knob 1 = 0.700 Knob 2 = 0.350 Knob 3 = 0.950 |
Kellie Myrum 13.04.2013 | The 2.6 and 2.6.1 are sharing the same mappings. Pretty sure... |
Mira Sabia 12.04.2013 | 2.6.1 which is the latest release. Odd that they would make such a peculiar change on this release . But the picture I provided CLEARLY shows the invert option is not there and that a modifier IS necessary. At least that is the case if it's set to Button-Direct (only option available for a keyboard mapping). Fader/Knob on a controller would allow for invert, but in the case of mapping a keyboard, the invert option is only available when I change it to Button-reset or inc/dec (both of which useless for my intended purpose). Are you sure you have the same settings that I've shown in the image? |

Mira Sabia 11.04.2013 | Hey Stewe, This may or may not be of help, but just to clarify, I was having the same issue as GinjA. I wanted to map 5 buttons on my keyboard that simultaneously perform 2 functions: Place a Hotcue (Set Cue and Store as Next Hotue) Set Cue type (Cue Type Selector) ...so that I could have dedicated buttons to instantly place cue, loop, fade-in/out, load markers etc. in a track at the touch of a button. This initially caused many problems for me due to the fact that on many occasions "Cue Type Selector" would trigger before "Set Cue and Store as Next Hotcue", thus changing the cue type of the LAST hotcue I had already placed. The only way to fix this is to have "Cue Type Selector" be inverted and occur after the cue has been placed...which is not possible as Traktor gives no invert option for this. I had originally tried your suggestion of setting a modifer to the trigger button with mode-hold and having "Cue Type Selector" conditioned to that modifier, but it unfortunately d seem to work. Here is the workaround that did eventually work for me. Instead of : Modifier / type-button / mode-hold / value 1 map the same button twice Modifier / type-button / mode-direct / value 1 Modifier / type-button / mode-reset / Option-invert This allowed me to invert a button that doesn't have the invert check box available. Hoping someone else can confirm this works for them...but here is a snapshot from traktor (wish Xtreme mapping supported keyboard templates ) |
Maria Valderrama 06.04.2013 | I want to map buttons to start FX and then use the encoder knob to change it. How do I do this? I don't really have any idea how to do mappings, but am a quick learner. I basically want to build an entire mapping for the F1 so it compliments the MF instagrat mapping (using FX that aren't triggered by the MF basically) Thanks |
Kellie Myrum 01.04.2013 | That's what I'm talking about... Only 8 modifiers per device is pretty limiting. What you could do is to add new mapping device to get another set of modifiers and map supercombo in there. |

Looking forwards to seeing something you can share as well! Cheers. |
Bethann Gix 31.03.2013 | Hey Stewe, Firstly I want to say thanks for the great work you guys have put into this thread, it has really helped me. I am just starting with Traktor and moving over from VDJ. I'm using a M-Audio Xponent and have a lot of flexibility with my mapping. I have figured out most of what's going on and have gotten a pretty decent mapping so far. However, I'm trying to implement the 4 Button Masher and have gotten it all perfect except for finding out how to invert a direct command. I am using traktor 2.6.1 and there is no invert option on Direct or a Direct (inverted) mode. I have tried multiple workarounds, managing to solve the Modifier commands, but when I do the combo the effects don't disable. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Also at 0Notice, if you could please proof read the code you have in the first page it would be really appreciated. There are quite a few simple spelling errors and coding errors that I can see are incorrect, but some more inexperienced computer users might not and just end up confusing themselves. Examples are "Istant Press Effects" and the 2 should be a 3 in the second line of > "Add in > FX Unit > Button 3 > modCon - M1=3 / type-button / mode-hold Add in > FX Unit > Button 2 > type-button / mode-direct (inverted) / value=0" Thanks a lot guys, I look forward to adding anything I come up with into this thread to share. |

Anisa Fourte 25.03.2013 | I need some Super-Knob/Fader mapping ideas... And yes I said super, not smart... As I've figured out a way to program super-knobs/faders through software without the need of hardware such as the midifighter. In fact, this method will allow you to use it with ANY HID/MIDI device. Testing things out right now and will clue you in shortly, but for now, looking for ideas to test with! |

Kellie Myrum 08.03.2013 | You sure do if you want this workaround in all the modifier states you got there |
