Novation Launchpad Full 4Deck Mixer Traktor Mapping Posted on: 16.01.2011 by Jeremiah Rothenburger Hey DJTT,Over the past 2 weeks I've been working on a Launchpad mapping for Traktor that suited my style. Now that it is finally done after all this time of headaches and WTF!? moments I've decided to share it with the community to make mixing with the Launchpad much easier. The 4 deck mixer mapping is optimized to work with my VCI-100 (not DJTT mapping) and is used by me as a second midi controller with the VCI-100 being the master controller (It can be used together with any master controller) Therefore the Launchpad mapping is created to trigger functions that my normal VCI-100 cannot do (full outline of features and functions in the features section) New in 1.0 Now features full Bi-Directional Communication, every button and fader now updates automatically when changed. Download Mapping Includes the Traktor .TSI file which should be imported through the controller manager. The layout.txt for Midikatapult, the text file should be placed in the Midikatapult folder, and the images outlining each buttons functions on each page of the mapping. http://www.4shared.com/rar/iRMSCx6G/...d_Mapping.html Features Nearly every usefull Traktor function mapped (except for basic main mixer controls) Full Bi-Directional Communication (See Bi-Directional Communication for more info) 7 Fully mapped pages giving you a total of 448 buttons to play with 4 Deck Mixing on 1 page 8 Hotcues & Full loop control for each deck Full integrated effect units control (Designed for 2 effect units with 1 being advanced and 2 chained) Master Volume Output on each page for a cool equalizer on the Launchpad Eq low, mid and high + other control faders for each individual deck Full browser controls Bi-Directional Communication This Launchpad mapping features Bi-Directional Communication with Traktor meaning that, as an example, when you change a virtual button in Traktor, the corresponding button on the Launchpad surface is also updated. This feature is provided by MidiKatapult. Note: The Bi-Directional faders will start off at the value 0 when Katapult and Traktor are launched and have to be set to their corrosponding values in Traktor. Page Layouts The following images outline each buttons functions on each page of the Launchpad Page 1 Page 2 -5 Page 6 Page 7 How to make it work To be able to use this mapping with Traktor, 2 programs are needed 1. MidiKatapult - A program for the Launchpad that enables you to customise its layouts, Download & More info on the website : http://www.midikatapult.com/ 2. A Virtual Midi Port Driver such as Loopbe1: http://nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html OR Midiyoke: http://www.midiox.com/index.htm?http....com/myoke.htm Note: Make sure both inputs and outputs are the same in Traktor & MidiKatapult. Also, for Bi-Directional Communication to work properly make sure you are using 2 different ports for each input and output My Loopbe30 example : Katapult : Input = 2. Internal MIDI Output = 1. Internal MIDI Traktor : Input = 1. Internal MIDI Output = 2. Internal MIDI All programs are free. However, MidiKatapult is a trail version running for 30 minutes and then becoming unfunctional until a restart of the program (which takes 2seconds) For more information on how to get MidiKatapult to work visit the community s at : http://community .midikatapult.com/ I hope you will enjoy my Launchpad mapping as much as I do and I'm open for suggestions. | |

| Autumn Kuenzer 24.02.2012 | No problem! I added a whole new page to incorporate sample decks (C & D). All you have to do is press the "User 2" button and the launchpad changes. The bottom row is Slot Clear; The next one up is toggle Play/Pause; The next changes the slot from Repeat to Single-shot; The row above that is Load From Deck; The one above THAT is the Slot Phase Sync (I'm not really sure what the phase sync does exactly, but I put it there because I thought it was just a Sync button; apparently it's not) Also, the First and Fifth buttons on the second row are Sync buttons on all pages (they don't light up), and the First button on the third row Analyzes the selected song in your list. On the second page (User 1 button), the First/Second and Seventh/Eighth columns starting on the fourth row are FX Unit On buttons for all four decks (4 for each A,B,C,D; 16 total). Here is the .tsi file: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ymu8aojz901tyrl Here is the original document describing the mapping, without the recent update: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wtfl0vb7766bg2t Enjoy! and Happy Launching! |
| Clay Zielenski 24.02.2012 | Megaupload is dead now,,could you please upload it somewhere else? Thanks! |
| Autumn Kuenzer 13.07.2011 | What I wound up doing is just directly mapping a single page of several functions to either half of the launchpad (34 for Deck A and 34 for B) Sort of like a supplement to my numark controller. I can link you guys to the .tsi file you'd like. Below are the functions: - - play/pause - set to master - /2 & x2 BPM for those 70/140 and 64/128 tracks - Detect BPM & Analyze Track for browser mode - Set/select/delete hotcues 2,3,4 - 10 pads for Loops 1/32 to 16 |
| Jeremiah Rothenburger 13.07.2011 | As far as i know it should not matter wether the buttons are mapped to 'cc' or 'notes' notes but i could be wrong. My suggestion is that if midikatapult does not correspond with traktor your settings could be wrong. Make sure that you have 2 IpMIDI ports, 1 for input and 1 for output and these should be assigned to both Katapult and Traktor and note that the input from Katapult becomes the output in Traktor. Heres my loopMIDI settings as an example: Katapult= in=Launchpad 1 out=Launchpad 2 Traktor2= in=Launchpad 2 out=Launchpad 1 Hope this helps |
| Autumn Kuenzer 11.07.2011 | The lights on the Launchpad light up because Katapult is running. When I specify the Traktor controller ports to "ipMIDI (Port 1)" for both input and output, there is no response in Traktor. I looked more closely and realized that each of the functions are mapped to to the pad buttons as "cc" notes instead of "notes" notes. By using the Learn function in the configuration window, I can remedy this issue. The problem remains still, however, that I cannot map Level (i.e., Volume) or Shift functions. |
| Jeremiah Rothenburger 11.07.2011 | what issue exactly? not sure what u mean so i cant really help |
| Autumn Kuenzer 10.07.2011 | I've found the issue to be that all of the keys are mapped to "CC" (i.e., cc.01) instead of "notes" (i.e., note.E#1). I'm remapping all of them by hand now, but I'm not sure how to deal with the "Shift" and "Fader knobs" controls. Any help would be great. |
| Jeremiah Rothenburger 12.05.2011 | appearently a new version of katapult is supposed to be coming out with heaps of new features but the maker announced that shit ages ago so i dunno whats happening havent heard from him in ages. maybe try running katapult in compatibility mode? right click file --> properties --> compatibility tab. I've also heard 2 launchpads dont work together so maybe this will work in the next version?? |
| Yuko Armacost 10.05.2011 | I've tried to talk to the creator about Midi Katapult not working on Windows 7 64bit operating systems. Anyone have a solution to this problem? Also I would love to be able to use Katapult and the Instant Gratification mapping on another Launchap. I hear two Launchpads do not work together. I don't know since I have never been able to get it to work. |
| Jeremiah Rothenburger 02.03.2011 | i've got in=2. Internal MIDI out=1. Internal MIDI but you can manually assign them in katapult if you restore the config file, just redownload midikatapult and replace the old config with the clean, new one |
| Beata Barata 01.03.2011 | How correctly to fill CONFIG (in and out) if use loopbe1 in=loopbe1 out=loopbe1 -Correctly? |
| Jeremiah Rothenburger 01.03.2011 | have you tried using something other then midiyoke, didnt work for me and i read that it didnt really work on windows 7 maybe try loopbe1 or the loopbe30 trail ? http://nerds.de/index.html |
| Beata Barata 28.02.2011 | Katapult / MIDI YOKE / Traktor - what am I doing wrong? Traktor doesn't see midi signals( |
| Jeremiah Rothenburger 19.01.2011 | I actually have no idea whats wrong as everything should be working properly... The only thing i could believe of is traktor not workin properly because the launchpad itself works with katapult. One problem i have sometimes is that none of my midi controllers work when launching traktor, to solve this i always unplug my external soundcard for mixing and the plug it back in again. To chek if this is the case, if you have another midi controller try using that with traktor and if it doesnt work either do what i did (if you can). If none of that fixes the problem it could be loopbe1 and maybe try switching to midiyoke, this didnt work for me but hey, every computer is different. You can also try updating your java (this is required for midikatapult) to the latest version. if it stil doesnt work let me know and il try to find a different solution, it would also help if you'd post what operating system youre using and what version of traktor is running (pro, scratch etc.) and what version the software is mine is 1.2.4 which the mapping was created on. Hope this helps |
| Kristofer Krauel 19.01.2011 | Hey, thanks for the reply. Everything is set how it should be. Katapult In - LoopBe, Katapult Out - LoopBe, Traktor In - LoopBe and Traktor Out - LoopBe. I know if i can get this sorted it will be awesome but this final hurdle is a real pain!! |
| Jeremiah Rothenburger 18.01.2011 | Are both the in and output on loopbe in midikatapult ? You can change those ports by editing the config.txt file in katapult or if you dont know the exact port name just reset the config file to default so when katapult is loaded you can choose the in and ouputs Also, heres how i've got it set up Hope this helps

All i've done is imported into Traktor and set the input and output to Loopbe. any ideas where im going wrong? Cheers Jon. |
| Jeremiah Rothenburger 18.01.2011 | ok hahha good to know it finally works now, enjoy |
| Valeria Bringle 18.01.2011 | Thanks, everything works Nice now. The main problem came from midikatapult that you have to p |
| Jeremiah Rothenburger 18.01.2011 | are both the input and ouput on port 1 ? this is the way i have it setup, using loopbe30 - katapult input = loopbe30 port 1 output= loopbe30 port 1 and the same on traktor both in and outputs using the same port. |
| Valeria Bringle 18.01.2011 | Ok, i updated and it now works for the template. The problem is now that when i setup Katapult to go on Port1 ( IPmidi) and when i put Port1 in Traktor.. it doesnt work : when i press the learn button, nothing can be listened from the launchpad. I believe my midi configuration is to blame here. |
| Jeremiah Rothenburger 17.01.2011 | The problem could be that youre running an older version of traktor as in a recent update of traktor the template format was changed.. What version are you running ? Maybe try updating to the latest version. I created the mapping on version 1.2.4 Hope this helps! |
| Valeria Bringle 17.01.2011 | hey man, this looks quite amazing... I just can't figure out how to make it work. I'm explaining , I installed IPmidi & Katapult on my macbook pro. I also put the .txt file in the katapult folder, and when the software loads, it works. ( the launcpad is recognized, and when i tape on one of the button, it appears on katapult. ) But, when i load the template in traktor, is stays empty. i import the file, but it looks that there s nothing in it. |
