One button: select AND enable effect
One button: select AND enable effect Posted on: 23.01.2012 by Teresita Czekaj Hello,I'm trying to map a button (note.D5, modifier:m8=1) so that when i press it a number of things happen: 1. a certain effect gets selected 2. the effect gets set yo a certain value 3. the effect gets turned on 4. the effect value slowly increases I made the following mapping: Problem is, this works only works if the right effect is already selected. If another effect is selected when i press the button it selects the right effect but doesn't turn it on! How do I get this right? Cheers, thepillow | |
| Josefina Schutten 23.01.2012 | i know this problem.....the fact is that if you have another effect selected the software work like this: 1 |

(just to take modifiers and anything else out of the equation that might be affecting it) |

| Teresita Czekaj 02.03.2012 | Hey thanks for the help guys, but i'm afraid the whole programming thing is a bit too much for me. However, i'm still under the impression that i can achieve what i want with just traktor (selecting AND activating an effect with one button), because this is exactly what the guys from djtecht do with their instant gratification mapping for midi fighter. |
| Chasidy Heckenbach 23.01.2012 | traktor does seem to try and workout the most sensible way of processing the data with least conflicts when u stack multiple controls to the same midi input - but does often get it wrong - or at least not do what u wanted. i had a similar issue with some midimasher code to enable the pseudo postfaderefx mode but i thought the only thing that didn't work in the end was that if the effects unit had to change from group to single then all the other settings got ignored - but on a second press they all worked. this is what i setup to do that: Code:
traktor.fx_control{
unit = unit,
mode = "single",
fx = "Gater",
param1 = ON,
button1 = ON,
button2 = OFF,
drywet = 127 - math.floor(vol/2),
active = ON,
deck_a = ON
}
for some reason traktor just ignores everything after the mode=single if the effects unit was in group mode previously. pain in the ass... in midimasher speak tho what u are doing is something like this that should work with any issues i thought: Code:
traktor.fx_control{
unit = 1,
fx = "Delay T3",
param1 = 38,
param2 = 72,
param3 = 27,
drywet = 50,
active = ON,
deck_a = ON
}

| Teresita Czekaj 23.01.2012 | the modifier is needed because the button is in SHIFT mode. Otherwise the effect will also be selected when i press the button without the shift function on. |
| Nedra Fresneda 23.01.2012 | Try removing the modifier variable from the fx select command |
