Novation Twitch, Traktor 2.5 touch strip mapping for effects...

Hi DJTT,

I am trying to map the touch strips on my Novation Twitch to control grouped effects in Traktor 2.5, the same way that Ean Golden appeared to be using the jog wheels on a Traktor Kontrol S2 in an old video performance which i saw on NI's website.

I have managed to map the touch strips to do this but not the way that i want.

1 - They will not respond to a sliding motion, they will only respond to individual touches at different points along the strip, relating directly to a value on each of the three effects in the chain. This means that if i want to change a parameter, i need to take a new sample from another point later in the track, rather than using the same point.

2 - Another issue that i have is that all three effect parameters in the group can only change together at the same value, where i would rather they could change at a different rate aka different values at the same point along the touch strip for each of the three parameter knobs.

This is how i have mapped a single touch strip to control all three parameters;

add in > fx unit 1 > button 1 > controller type: button, interaction mode: hold.
add in > fx unit 1 > knob 1 > controller type: fader/knob, interaction mode: direct.

And i have repeated this process another two times for button 2 & 3 and knob 2 & 3 on the same touch strip.

I attempted to use the "relative" interaction types and i also tried mapping the touch strip as an "encoder" controller type, but these options only seem to confuse Traktor or i don't understand how these options function.

Thanks for reading any help will be very much appreciated!!
