Traktor Pro mapping for BCD3000
Posted on: 26.01.2011 by Cornell Binder
Hi all

This community has been so useful to me, I thought it was time I put in my own contribution to the same.

For a long time, I had been wanting to create a Traktor mapping that would allow me to do everything I wanted without touching the laptop. While I found a lot of good mappings, none of them quite gave me everything I needed.

So here's my mapping for Traktor that I made a few months ago. Hope some of you find it useful, or at least find some ideas from this that you can use.

Besides the BCD3000 map, I also use a separate mapping on my keyboard to quickly beat-grid tracks that I haven't done homework for. Not putting that up for now.

Needless to say, I can't claim all credit for this mapping. Although I created the tsi from scratch (hmm.. there's a pun in there somewhere), it has been inspired by several mappings that I have seen from various users, and I want to thank all of them for their ideas. Some of these people are -

1. Haangout - Traktor 4 deck mapping using Modes
2. The biggest inspiration DJcvice - Traktor Pro 4 deck mapping (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QYlOvH5j4Y)
3. Cycokraut
.. and some others as well..

Anyway, attached is the mapping, and corresponding overlays that you can print out..

Have fun!!

Cheers

Hey 3verest

Slight bummer, but this mapping is designed to control only Samples on Deck C.. You can use Deck D maybe as a Live Input (emergency CDs/mics).. You still have volume, fader and EQ control over the Live Input though..

In a trade-off between cramming all functions onto the few available controls vs designing a workflow that was actually usable in a set with minimal prior practice, I decided to go with the latter, giving up control over Deck D samples. I guess I thought there would be no way in hell I would be using more than 4 samples at a time :-)

You can also use the overlays that I attached in one of the earlier posts to figure out exactly what each control interface does.. It is colour coded for easy understandability..

I also use a keyboard mapping for some other functions that are not mapped onto the BCD (eg hot cue deletion, loop recorder, beat-gridding, Instant FX combos). I use a colour coded USB keyboard for it.. Maybe I'll attach the mapping and a pic of the keyboard when I get back home in a couple of days, if you need it :-)

Hope that answers your queries..

Cheers

Thanks for the updated version. There's one question I have in regards to the samples at the bottom. I could be just overlooking something obvious (if this is the case my apologies for my stupidity haha) but how abouts do I go about loading samples in Deck D with the BCD3000 as opposed to Deck C? I know that the second half of deck C is samples from Deck B but they all play out of Deck A's output anyway. Also, in this instance the shift button is used to clear samples rather then load them in a different deck so I'm not sure how to go about this. Thanks heaps in advance!

Hey 3verest

Thanks for the good words.. Happy to help..

Also, here's an updated version of the tsi, with a couple of bugs removed. Again, happy to add on more features if you believe it's useful.. I'm believeing jogwheel FX might be next, but lack of touch sensitivity sorta restricts it.. Let me see if I can come up with something else in the next couple of months or so...

Cheers

Hi all

After a lot of delay (been busy at work), my Traktor Pro 2 mapping for the BCD3000 is finally ready, and I thought it might be useful to some people if I share it here..

This mapping offers -

- Controls for 2 decks + 1 sample deck (4 slots) + 1 Live Input deck + Mixer, enabling both Sync and manual beatmatching
- Controls for 2 FX units through the controller (with the other 2 units being controlled through my keyboard mapping for Ean-style super-combo effects - Thanks for the brilliant ideas, Ean)
- Controls to browse tracks

Hope at least some of you like it and find it useful.. Also attaching overlay PDFs that you can print out (print at actual size)...

I also have a keyboard mapping to go with this controller mapping that enables quick beat-gridding of tracks, master setup controls, deck specific super-combo effects and controls for the loop recorder.. Not uploading it here as it has been tweaked to suit my workflow, and because I don't have time to describe what each key does.. However, if you believe you need that as well, and have time to figure out the keys, feel free to let me know and I'll mail it to you separately..

Cheers
Sid

Thanks Sid, good news to BCD3000 users + Traktor. Two thumbs up for good, u have done a good job for us.
Currently, Im trying to install TP on my Win7 x64 if it will work then load the tsi.If not, i will be oblidge to install it on my Vista x32.
Good job Sid.

Thanks arsenio..

I am also working on another mapping for TP2 currently, which uses 2 decks and sample decks instead of 4 decks (I used 2 out of 4 decks in TP1 as sample decks anyway).. I plan to make it such that it minimizes usage of "modes" that I had used in the earlier mapping, and places everything that you might need within immediate grasp...

This is also accompanied by a keyboard mapping that enables quick beatgrids and instant FX inspired by Ean's tricks..

I am almost done with the mapping.. Just ironing out a few things before taking it out on a full test drive :-) I just have 2 buttons and 2 LEDs that I can't quite figure out what to do with.. Any ideas that anyone would like me to incorporate? ;-)

one q sid......how can i convert ur mapping to traktor 2?....im still trying to make it work...thnx m friend

(its working know, i believe was a conflict with a different mapping, so imust have to go into controller manager, delete both of mappings and then import urs, thnx !)
