MF3d and Traktor - Configurable motion w/presets, 5 menus alongside Remix Firmware
Posted on: 14.10.2012 by Hilary Zaver
I made a youtube walkthrough of this mapping, called it mPower. The main idea is that I wanted to be able to change what controls were active on the motion, load preset configurations on the fly, utilize all 26 buttons on the MF3d well, and add lots of functionality without hurting usability. Right now there are 5 menus + HID toggle. 2 of the menus are filled with HotCues and/or Remix deck controls. Those may be replaced if there's some good ideas for other menus.

Let me know what you guys believe, I'm fairly new to Traktor so I'm still developing workflows and whatnot. See the full description and walkthrough at: http://maps.djranking s.com/mappings/812

Direct link, and overview below it, if you want to skip to a certain part:


(0:00) Menu Navigation + HID Toggle:
-Each side button (except lower right) loads a menu. Press the same button to return to the main menu.
-HID Toggle should be on the right center side button. There's an .mfs file included for the MF3d settings.

(0:40) Main Menu (fx)
-An InstantGrat-ish layout. Main difference is the addition of 2 HotCue buttons and a Loop Active toggle.

(4:20) Loop Menu
-BeatJump +- 4, 2, 1, 1/2
-Loop +- 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
-Loop size adjust
-Plooping

(5:50) HotCue Menus
-One page for A+B, another for C+D
-Set/Delete cues
-Beat Phase moves left to right on LEDs
-Other LEDs are color-coded HotCues based on Traktor cue type
-Remix deck controls are instead Mute/Unmute and Fire for each bank

(7:45) Motion Config Menu
-Motion toggle on/off, or 'Motion w/Reset', meaning some automatic resetting of fx controls whenever the MF3d returns to a flat position.
-4 custom fx, choose from any of 10 fx to load in any direction. The 10 fx are independent for each direction, so really you can load any of 18 fx (which is all the colors on the MF3d. Each effect has its own color).
-Assign filter, pan, key bend, fx rates, fx depths to any direction. Additionally, you can assign opposite axis (e.g. left and right) to opposite sides of the same control (like LPF on left and HPF right).

(14:10) Presets
-4 presets, activated via the side buttons, set modifiers and knobs, or whatever else you want to add. They are easy to modify in/add to the mapping.
-Initialize: Restarts the mapping pretty much
-Reset: Fixes knobs that the motion controls
-2 other presets that load a range of motion settings

Thanks man! It's hard to say about Serato DJ, but I'd guess that I won't be using it. I'll be taking a good look at it when it's released, but I'm just barely getting used to Traktor haha. Switched just a couple months ago.

Great mapping! Ill check it out soon.

I noticed you made a SSL MF3D mapping, any chance your going to make a Serato DJ mapping when it comes out?
