2 Deck Launchpad w/ 8 Cues+Loop+Instant Gratification FX Posted on: 15.03.2011 by Wenona Murro Thanks to many contributors of DJTT community
s (Str8upDrew, l0rdr0ck, alex8337 and others) I was finally able to get my launchpad fully mapped and ready for combat! Since I am fairly new to midi mapping this took me about a week to finalize, so I decided I would share with other members. Here is a layout of the mapping I have put together. The beatphase LED was just for fun but I decided to leave it, sort responds like KIT's lights from Kevening
Rider but to the beat. The mapping has complete and colorful LED feedback response. This mapping is for Traktor Pro and does not use Automap.Hope this mapping will be of use to some of you other DJs. I have included all the .tsi files along with midi yoke and bome's inside the .rar file http://www.mediafire.com/?sth1uodjqqhazi2 Thanks again for everyone's hard work in helping me learn midi mapping! Enjoy | |

Open configuration inside Traktor (The Gear Icon) 2. Find Controller Management on the left 3. Select the "JWLPMF_TR" from Device Management at the top 4. In The "Assignment Table" Click the "Control" tab field so they are A-Z by control 5. Find the command "Effect 3 select" for "FX Unit 1" 6. Change the "Lo-Fi" to "Turntable FX" 7. Repeat steps 1-6 with "JWLPMP_TL" 8. Mash buttons! |

DOnt really need it anyway so its no loss. let me know if you get any further with it, I am going to have a play with the tsi again toevening now i have windows reinstalled. |

As I said, only a work around to give you some lights & indication of the layout. I have tested it rigorously & all seems to be stable. When I get more time I shall try to re-place the led commands in small groups until I can figure out what's causing the issue. |
| Lorine Krattli 25.05.2011 | is lo-fi not used in the supercombo's though? what difference does the turntable stop make to these? |
| Tawna Ulmen 24.05.2011 | I used the files from the link. Tested again this morning and it works perfectly. Super chuffed, thanks again! |

| Boyce Engbrecht 23.05.2011 | I was about to get a midi fighter when I saw this thread and now I'm believeing a launchpad could be a good alternative! I use an S4 now and really wanted the instant gratification mapping on a midi fighter to go with it but am I right in believeing this has all the features of the MF's mapping? The super combos etc? Also can someone tell me what the pads of the Launchpad are like? Are they as responsive as the MF? Can I bash away at hotcues as well as I could on arcade buttons? I do mess around on ableton so this could be an attractive option but the feeling of the pads is important to me. thanks |

| Azucena Minks 22.05.2011 | Is the most recent version of the mapping on the 1st page of this thread? |
| Azucena Minks 22.05.2011 | just used the mapping for TSP and no issues. very nice will try it out for TSP2 at some stage also |
| Wenona Murro 20.05.2011 | No worries! Def share your mapping I know others may be interested |
| Olene Minyard 20.05.2011 | Nice one, cheers! Might have a go at this toevening if I get time. Will let you know, and share, how it goes and if it's a success! |

Playing in dark venues, I'd rather have the lights full on and then change colour when pressed instead of dim-on and then full-on when pressed. If you could let me know, I might have a squiz at this then and have a go at changing it. |

| Olene Minyard 17.05.2011 | If you only have 3GB usable, then I'm taking your running Windows in 32 bit? Also, that CPU is pretty weak by today's standards. Even though it's "dual core", it only has 1MB cache and is only a small notch above the Celeron CPU's. With my 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4mb L2 cache and 4GB RAM running 64 bit Windows 7, I'm not having any issues. It may be that cos Traktor itself doesn't support multi-core CPU's, having a weak CPU may be causing Traktor and in tur your CPU to buckle when trying to control all your MIDI signals. It would explain why the whole system crashes and locks too (as I had with a Celeron CPU). Whereas it may work in Ableton, it may simply be that Ableton has a more efficient MIDI control system meaning it's less taxing on your CPU. Just a hypothesis. |
| Lorine Krattli 17.05.2011 | right i tried this again last evening
and its 100% the led's that are causing the problem. was playing tunes mashing the pad for 2 hours with no led's. turned them on and 15 minutes later the whole system crashed. It has to be something specific to traktor as the LP work perfectly in ableton suite 8 and in max4live running 7up with full led feedback. laptoip specs: intel pentium dual core mobile processor T3400 (1MB cache L2 @ 2.16Ghz), Mobile Intel G140 Chipset, 4GB DDR2 Ram (3 usable with windows 7) as I have said above its something specific to Traktor Pro 2 and the LED's crashing my lappy as I can use it perfectly without LEDs or I can use it with led's in ableton! |
| Olene Minyard 16.05.2011 | What are your laptop specs? I had issues trying it on a crappy Celeron M 1.86GHz with 2GB RAM. However, the same laptop now has Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz and 4GB RAM and runs it all very smoothly! |
| Lorine Krattli 16.05.2011 | It is very weird, all i can believe is my laptop is not good enough?! either that or i have a faulty LP which just crashes every now and again. if you could do this mapping with lights off and have them come on (full colour not dimmed) when pressed I would love a copy to see if that helps. I am going to have another play around with this toevening when I get home from work in an hour so will see if there is anything else it could possibly be but its definitely something to do with the LED's on the LP as I couldnt use it fo r more than 15 minutes does any know if traktor might cause the crash when asking for permission to access the trsuted zone when using AVG antivirus? reason I asked is I just remember when I was using this yesterday an avg button popped up asking for permission to access the trusted zone as I only istalled TP2 on Sunday and clicked yes and there has been no crashes since. might just be coincidence, will try with lights on and off toevening ., failing this I might just buy a Midifighter if I can be bothered to wait for delviery to the uk! |
| Olene Minyard 16.05.2011 | I'm gonna look into changing the colours etc. I'd prefer them to be full on and then change colour when used, rather than half on and then full on when used. It's odd you still have issues. Mine works perfectly with Windows Home Premium 64 bit with Launchpad, VCI, Audio2DJ and external hard drive connected so plenty of USB messages going back and forth. |

I need someone to make a copy of this mapping BUT with LED's on permanently (e.g. they dont change from light led to solid led, they are on solid all of th time) so I can see the layout at least, if not going to have to learn the layout and use it with no LED's!!! |

I have tried this mapping in 3 flavours of WIndows 7 (Ultimate 32 & 64 bit and Home Premium 64bit) and everytime I got a crash after about 10/15 minutes of use. first I tried just turning the beat phase monitor off which extended the use for about 30 minutes in total before full lock down. I eventually went through and turned all output led's off in the mapping and it worked completely stable for 1.5 hours with no crash or stutters. so it must be a an issue with the amount of info needed to update the the leds etc. this leads on to another question... WOuld someone with more knowledge of this mapping than me be able to change the origianl mapping so instead of the LED's going from light colour to solid colour when pressed could somone make a mapping where they are just on solid colour permanently? This will enable me to see what is what on the launchpad but the LEDS wont need to be updated which should stop the crashes? if not i will just have to learn the mapping's layout with no led's! |
| Beata Barata 14.05.2011 | Many thanks for this mapping.! |
| Lorine Krattli 13.05.2011 | i should add i have even emailed novation to see if they know of any known issues with windows 7 ultimate 64bit and midi from the Launchpad BUT knowing novation and there lack of customer service ( i know a few people who have contacted them for issues and were all told "it cant be the launchpad as its a simple device so get a new laptop etc") I dont hold out much hope they will be able to help. |

I haven't got a copy of windows 7 home but have a copy of Windows XP pro which I am going to install on a partition with nothing else to see if it runs ok on XP, if not then I know it must be something other than the OS. I thought it might have been my soundcard as well but putting some stupidly big latency to test this and it still does it even if i use my onbaord laptop one so its not that either. its so frustrating becuase this would add sooooo much to my set up and i just knew it wouldnt work properly with my set up :eek: |
