APC40 Mapping Madness (Midi Fighter Style on APC40)

APC40 Mapping Madness (Midi Fighter Style on APC40) Posted on: 05.07.2010 by Lynetta Piacentino This week I've ordered my Midi Fighter and as I cannot wait to receive it, I already started using the Midi Fighter mapping for Traktor by remapping it on my APC40! The first result is now having row 5/6/7&8 (top 4 rows) mapped exactly as the DECK A mapping for Midi Fighter. I started to make slight adjustments to the LED's (as the APC40 has more options then the MF) and I went crazy playing with it! And I know that it's always cool to see other people's mappings, so I wanted to share mine as well! Both TSI (deck A only) and layout are attached. (don't forget to set the APC40 to 'dumb mode' via Albeton...). I cannot wait for the original MF to arrive and test the ultra responsiveness and speed!! (check out original files, new MF TSI file and info here http://www.djranking s.com/2010/06/3...lized-mapping/) I'll continue to make it even more APC40 style and map a second deck asap (and move the first deck A to the left). But as I'm also playing with 2 and 4 deck TSI's an update might not come very soon
Laurel Demske 27.01.2012	Originally Posted by seannash Ableton is MUCH easier for mapping things out than traktor, so if you're just starting I would begin there to get your head around it then move to the more clunky mapping interface of traktor, but that's just how i did it. There's some really great tutorials on mapping things like a browser scroll knob to traktor on these community s and on the main DJranking s website, just search around! Thanks mate, i can see that there is alot of creative potential with using the APC just by treading thorough this thread and watching a few dj's in action on youtube. Im quite excited about the possibilities what i may be able to come up with myself once ive learned the in's and out's a bit more. Thanks again for the stating point mate
Jeanette Germer 22.01.2012	Originally Posted by Bunker Dance Thankyou for this thread everyone, I am relatively new to this so am trying to get my head around it all. I've just gotten my apc 40, after playing around with it I am at that stage where I need more control over what is at my finger tips. I heard somewhere that there is a mapping you can buy for around $20 that has so many shortcuts to use in ableton that you rarely need to use the mouse. I was wondering your opinio.s on this, is it easy to make my own mapping? And would people recommend trial and error or is there any informative guides / tutorials that will really allow me to understand this easier? Thanks in advance for any help guys This sounds like the Ill Gates mapping that he sells on his website, it looked cool to me, but it seems to give a little less control, you're pretty much locked into using two tracks in ableton, and as far as I know it's not for traktor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prm6a9QbnhE Ableton is MUCH easier for mapping things out than traktor, so if you're just starting I would begin there to get your head around it then move to the more clunky mapping interface of traktor, but that's just how i did it.

Same here! Great stuff, although I'm tryin to download Derder's tsi file and all of the links seem to be expired/broken. It would be great if you could post it up again! Thanks!
Demetra Pinizzotto 28.05.2011	Originally Posted by bartboy I have those templates and I used them for awhile but I need to change the colors of a lot of the text to account for modifiers and not being able to change the size/font has been very limiting with your templates. Don't get me wrong there very good and great for planning out simple mappings but currently I have 4 modified "modes" that I would make it a lot easier to show with multicolor txt. I have already began work on my own graphic showing the core of my mapping and I made sure to post a direct mention on House-Q as I am using his graphic as a template to show mine. I am not very great at fireworks and it would be helpful to see how he set up his stuff mainly the white out under the txt to make it "pop". I tried to accomplish this same effect with horrible results but it'll do. So in short if you would like to post the .png file or even email it to me directly I would love to look it over. If you don't I understand some people are very protective of their works and rightfully so, you spent a lot of time on it. Either way thanks for the mapping and the inspiration to get my own mapping finished. You could make a PDF portfolio. You can make a page for every modifier state. And you can add extra notes in the comment section. Just open up the comment toolbar. still, I believe houseq's mapping pictures look way better than mines. It's just easy for me to work with the pdf's
Demetra Pinizzotto 27.05.2011	Originally Posted by bartboy Nice template. I have been working on a TSI of my own and love the way you have the .PSD file setup any chance I could get a look at it to use the same style to present my mapping? Great job on the mappings. Look in my signature, I created mapping templates you can download for free at the traktor bible site
Sun Popov 06.02.2012	here it is on DJTT server look here this mapping I use now and it is very nice.. nice lol .. it is awesome! :-) have a look and you will see that you dont need to build your own ... http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=38033

Jeanette Germer 22.01.2012	GOD BLESS AMERICA for being assholes so that upload.to will not work for anyone in our country. "Not available Our service is currently unavailable in your country. Sorry about that." thanks for the effort derders, but could you attach it to a post so it's on the djranking s server? i'm more using the tsi as a reference for new ideas in developing a mapping for myself, but what's the tsi you're currently working with, if you don't mind sharing

Dana Ordinario 28.05.2011	@joostiisme Ohh I love your templates that's what I started with until I read this post and he mentioned using fireworks to make a visual mapping. I had tried making my own template for the APC80 which resulted in the slowest computer ever, then I tried Illustrator, Photoshop, and your templates but that wasn't the right fit. Using Fireworks is great it allows me to just place the txt anywhere I need to any size any color any font. House-Q is much cleaner at thou than I am, as my mock up isn't nearly as neat. I will post them both in there own thread once I am done but I am afraid it will only be useful to small group of people as I have my setup of an APC40+20 and Traktor in External Mixer mode. I also use 1 foot pedal with my APC40 for hands free modifiers. @Timmio Sorry to go off topic a little here but it would just be nice to model how I present it to the community s after House-Q drawing/mapping that you designed as I believe it conveys everything and exactly what it does in a simple way. I currently have different colored txt to show the different modifier states but I may just make overlays that can be placed over the inital graphic to better describe what I have done with the mapping. The mapping itself isn't finished but I hope to have at least the APC40 half done within a week. Regardless of if you release the .PNG to me or the public I still thank you for posting your mapping and your graphics as it has given me lots of inspiration for what I would like to do with my mapping and I have already left you a credit on the graphic as well as in a txt file. Thank You.
Sherril Amenta 28.05.2011	Hi, I'm new here and thanks for the mapping. I appreciate it greatly. I believe I need help. I have put the apc40 in dumb mode and started traktor. After that I've added the tsi file and everything works. Is there anyway I can reset my cue points in the middle of the song, or loop 8 bars or so and repeat? I didn't do any of the other instructions on the picture where it says set eq filtering to xone style. And the instructions before that in the picture. How would I do that? Im new to this so please bear with me. Thanks

Celinda Dolfi 26.05.2011	I've been looking for an instant gratification style effects mapping for the apc 40, all of the other stuff that you've mapped here is great, I really like the setup, but since i'm running an s4 I wanna use the main buttons just like the instant gratification effects mapping, anyone heard of someone doing this on an APC40? I've looked around...
Rodger Mangus 25.05.2011	Hi, I'm still looking for a Mapping for APC40 an Traktor Pro 2 I'd like to have the control for 2 or 4 deck including faders, crossdader, eq, filters, loops and cue. Do you know if this is existing or not yet? Thanks Mic
Rodger Mangus 21.05.2011	is the TSI for TP2 with AP40 available?
Lynetta Piacentino 19.04.2011	Nice

Demetra Pinizzotto 07.04.2011	Originally Posted by derders yes thanks for it Joost...good work! good that you ask yes would be better to write under the knobs (not on it) text colour in black is much better than red and the milky view ? not the original better? just some suggestions Milky view, is for printing. Less color in the background makes the actual controls more easy to read, thats what they are all about. The red text is because of the highlights. If you print the file, the highlights disappear, so the text wouldn't be visible. I know they wont win a graphics design award. But they are real nice to use and enough work already like this:P I'm glad you like them!
Sun Popov 08.04.2011	Originally Posted by joostiisme @ derders Nice template! did you enjoy working with it? anything to add to the functionality of them? yes thanks for it Joost...good work! good that you ask yes would be better to write under the knobs (not on it) text colour in black is much better than red and the milky view ? not the original better? just some suggestions Originally Posted by joostiisme @ derders nice mapping btw (the last is a concept for TP2) Originally Posted by joostiisme @ derders slot trigger? is that similar to cue on a normal deck? yes it is = to push it and by release it stops playing
Demetra Pinizzotto 07.04.2011	@ derders Nice template! did you enjoy working with it? anything to add to the functionality of them? nice mapping btw slot trigger? is that similar to cue on a normal deck? I'm working on a apc 40 mapping too, I dont have the unit yet, but I will have it asap. hopefully with an APC20 I will post my tsi's after testing
Sun Popov 07.04.2011	Hello guys, how are you? I have spend some time in hospital (8 kidney stones) in the last weeks so I had much time to believe/change/map a little bit on the apc40... Monday I go finally at home and no I don' t have the apc with me just my laptop I have made a 4 decks (A-C B-D) mapping of the HouseQ (steph) .tsi (without Ableton alternative mode) with send monitor state (have seen some .tsi where it works and have changed it to our mapping) (no final test) and now Traktor 2 is out (have it and I love the new features) I will make a mapping like this left side Deck A right side Sample Deck C I believe that would be really awsome.... but I must configure it and need some input "what you believe / and what you need" from the new things have a changable pdf mapping here template derders all the buttons/knobs/faders that I have not labeled are the same as mine old mapping I don't know where to put the filter/volume faders/knobs perhapse on the FX Unit 1 or 2 Knobs with a double setting (switch) that worries me the last days...(additionally why I can't try it out at the moment) but when it works it would be the best controller mapping around there need help.... the Device Control has CH1 - CH9 so I can setup 9 different settings to it when I put on the Nudge -+ a modifier that change the layers I can have 81 Knobs am I right with that? (not that I need so much knobs ) salut derders
Lilliana Perris 07.04.2011	Yeah....small handheld camcorder....in the middle of a TurboSound rig..... It took a beating! I shoudl have turned the mic volume down.....but alas...i was jamming! The guy manning my camera....was using one for the first time too.....So a bit shoddy!
Lynetta Piacentino 06.04.2011	Originally Posted by sarasin ... If you check my youtube channel, you will see my latest vid on there where I used the APC40 and 20 together before they were modded. ... Holy crap, that's a lot of noise... (nice to see that APC80 in action though!!)
Lilliana Perris 06.04.2011	Originally Posted by joostiisme you have pictures of the unit somewhere? Id like to see some high res pictures of it. Do you have a up close video of the device in action? thanks Just Google it....its just an APC40 and APC20 put together. If you check my youtube channel, you will see my latest vid on there where I used the APC40 and 20 together before they were modded. Its just a vid of me playing at a gig....so not focused on the controller. http://www.youtube.com/adriansarasin
Lynetta Piacentino 06.04.2011	Hey your opinion is more then welcome! And for sure you're not an exception regarding the use of the APC40, as I mainly use it for FX and CUES either. But to make this more relevant for all users, and also to have some buttons close to the FX/CUE-action , I decided to add some buttons which indeed might be redundant. And like you mention too; the APC40 has so many buttons, that having some redundant stuff in there isn't even a problem (although I might change it later into some usefull SAMPLE deck stuff !!) Damn, can't wait to finalize the new TSI (need to work first )
Kathe Lefcourt 05.04.2011	That looks pretty epic! My personal preference, which is honestly probably in the minority, would be to have more effects and less of the deck controls (pause, play, sync, EQ kills) on the APC. I'm already using a VCI-100 for the EQ knobs, transport controls, cross fader etc. with the APC being purchased primarily for sample buttons and effects (emphasis on effects). Now, with that being said, the APC has so many freaking buttons that even with half of them being redundant, the 3.0 mapping was still pretty awesome. This is just my opinion of course! I just want to re-iterate that I'm very grateful for your work on this so far as it has been an absolutely crucial piece of my setup. I'm looking forward to see where this goes!
Lynetta Piacentino 05.04.2011	*Updating the mapping for Traktor Pro 2* Next to updating the APC20 TSI for all new sample stuff in Traktor Pro 2 (see signature for correct thread), I'm also still busy with an updated version of the APC40 TSI !!! This 4.0 version will contain: - Less useless FX stuff (just one advanced unit now) - Easier and more instant FX - Added functionality for the sample decks - Optimized layout for all chained FX controls - Maximized use of buttons in the grid - Leveled layouts of APC20 and APC40 (like FX buttons are now on the same row) - Optimized usability of all buttons - And even more Check out this teaser mapping, the TSI will follow soon!!! (let me know what you believe of this?)
Lynetta Piacentino 05.04.2011	LOL, more people indeed are telling me that they could sit in front of my setup for hours, just watching the lights

Nice video by the way. That's a massive setup! Who needs club lights when you've got that many flashing controls haha.
