Traktor Pro Mapping for TouchOsc via Osculator
Traktor Pro Mapping for TouchOsc via Osculator Posted on: 30.11.2009 by Lupe Shehee Hey there,This is actually two setups. 1 for using the iPhone as the mixer for mixing in the box and the second is for using an external dj mixer where the iPhone is used for everything but the main mixer controls. One Traktor mapping controls both TouchOsc setups One Osculator map controls them both as well They both have transport controls, cue point starts, FX controls - Dry wet for each FX and sub FX and on, off (internal can control FX 1 & 2, External can control all four FX) Loops set, increase, decrease and a nice fader control to turn the loops up or down filter control and on off for both Channels. The final page is to browse for tracks and has crate browse, track browse, load to deck a, load to deck b and a toggle browser only button so you can see more while your browsing. I have only setup decks A & B due to space constrictions but feel free to edit the maps if you believe you want all four decks on your iPhone :-) My shitty nocturn died again last week so I used these maps to play at Serato Sams birthday party last weekend with no problems at all. Enjoy!!! | |

| Nedra Normand 22.09.2010 | Glad I could help . Was a bit worried I was teaching you to such eggs. Try the free beta linked above and let us know which mixer you prefer. |
| Dora Koltz 22.09.2010 | @ noeluk That did it! As far as touchosc goes, I've used it a lot with Ableton, but this is my first time with traktor. So thanks a lot for getting me started! |
| Nedra Normand 22.09.2010 | Hi again Hmmm |
| Dora Koltz 22.09.2010 | hey noeluk, thanks for the helpful advice, but i already knew how to midilearn with touchosc and traktor. maybe i'm just not understanding how to change the 1st cue point. I know how to set more than 1 cue point and they work as expected, but the 1st cue point is always stuck at the beginning of the song. |
| Nedra Normand 22.09.2010 | Hi elquinto Sorry, I got confused with which template you were using :-) I wouldn't want to mess with Pooks' fine work. You may want to DM Pooks to ask direct. But… if you wanted to change the function of a button, here's a quick way… 1 - With your OSCulator file open and running, press the button and look for a green light in the left columns of OSCulator. This will be the message activated by that button. Make a note of the Midi CC value and channel number. 2 - in Traktor go > preferences > controller manager > and bring up the iPhone's .tsi file. Click on the top of the 'Mapped to' column to arrange everything in order and scroll down to the midi value you noted above. Look at what this is controlling. If you are sure you DON'T need this function, then delete it. 3 - Go > Add In > Cue/Loops > Set/select cue & store; click 'learn' and press your iPhone button. De-select 'learn'. 4 - set 'type of control' as a button, 'interaction': hold; 'assignment' will determine which deck it controls (device target being which ever is Traktor's focus deck); 'value' at the bottom should be the number of the cue point you want to trigger. Hope that helps. And, *Pooks*, hope you don't mind the above. Same goes for anyone wanting to customise my layouts :-) Just beware that messing with mappings can lead to trouble! |
| Dora Koltz 22.09.2010 | Hey noeluk, I'm using pooks' touchosc template for the iphone he posted on the first page of this thread. Is there a way to change the cue point thats triggered by the cue button next to play? b/c the touchosc layout's cue button always takes me back to the beginning of the song. Thanks in advance! |
| Nedra Normand 22.09.2010 | Hi Elquinto - I assume you are talking about TOSC layouts from ipad-dj.net or touch-control.com?? The red cue button is similar to pressing the cue button next to the play button in Traktor. It returns to the cue point you were last stopped at in a track (often where the play marker is when you loaded the track). It's different from the cue point triggers - the markers you set as different cue points through a track. On my layouts you will find these numbered, usually beneath the loop buttons. I have a new v2.0 layout available as a free beta here - bit.ly/ci6DwF - that has a page just for large loop and cue buttons, alongside a choice of 5 mixer layout types and other new pages. See screengrabs here: http://bit.ly/cp8rLC The beta download link will be live until the weekend. Fill your boots |
| Dora Koltz 22.09.2010 | Thanks for the template. im a bit of a noob, why does the cue button in touchosc always return me to the beginning of a song no matter where my cue points are? |
| Nedra Normand 27.08.2010 | cheveli - glad you like, thanks! :-) |
| Erminia Demmerle 25.08.2010 | I actually went ahead and purchased them for my iPad, and turned out to be pretty sweet. LED out even works, I'll post a vid later on. |
| Nedra Normand 24.08.2010 | Hi guys - I have more iPad and iPhone TouchOSC layouts for Traktor for anyone who can't be arsed mapping their own - http://www.ipad-dj.net/ |
| Leeanna Ayla 17.08.2010 | Make sure you have OSc selected in your in/out ports when Touch OSC is selected as the controller. It will change back to default keyboard when you close preferences because that'e the default one installed from the factory. |
| Kerry Scappaticci 17.08.2010 | Ok, I just reinstalled everything. IT WORKS!!! My lack of easily transportable dj gear sucks, but now I can play partays with just an iphone and a laptop! stoked!!! |
| Kerry Scappaticci 17.08.2010 | Yeah that's my problem! Only thing I don't get is why it reverts to keyboard mapping every time I close prefs, even when I select whatever mapping. I've tried every single one posted in this thread, plus a few others I found on the net! I believe I'm going mental! |
| Lupe Shehee 17.08.2010 | Hi and welcome! Do you mean that when you close the prefs in Traktor and then reopen it the mapping it is displaying is the default keyboard one? If so all you have to do when you open the prefs pane is look at the device title which will be showing "Default Keyboard" and click on the little downward facing yellow triangle at the end of the title. That will open the list of all device mappings you have imported and and you can choose the one you want to look at. |
| Kerry Scappaticci 17.08.2010 | Ok, this is my first post around here, so go easy on me! I've downloaded touchOSC, OSCulator and everything all the tutorials say I should have. I can see that my phone is communicating with my computer in OSCulator, but when I try load the TSI file into traktor, as soon as I leave the preferences page it defaults back to keyboard. Why won't it let me use my phone as the controller? This is seriously confusing and frustrating!! Any help is greatly appreciated!! Also if I'm missing anything, let me know! |
| Lupe Shehee 05.08.2010 | ok challenge accepted, all parts updated with sync for both mac and pc |
| Dora Laffer 05.08.2010 | First of all, great work. Second, is there a sync button in it. Can't seem to find it. |
| Lupe Shehee 05.08.2010 | thanks for the feedback try this version... too many bloody connections foating around the Pd window and I missed one |
| Nan Vondohlen 05.08.2010 | the volume fader of deck A isn't working on windows the rest is great |
| Lupe Shehee 06.08.2010 | Hehe, let me know how you get on with it. I might be sorting out an iPad version soon if anyone is interested :-) |
| Desirae Farnes 05.08.2010 | D'oh Thanks, nem0nic |
| Diogo Dj Dragão 05.08.2010 | Read the post above yours 1/0 |
| Desirae Farnes 05.08.2010 | Pooks, this layout is sick! But I got Windows and I don't believe that osculator is Windows compatible. Is there something else that could be used to help with the send/receive? |
| Lupe Shehee 07.06.2010 | I have recompiled the templates to remove a dupe setting in the FX section and I have also written a puredata app that takes the place of Osculator (for those pc users) after a request by one of the members. Those using puredata still need to install midi yoke and set that up, then assign the midi yoke channels in Pd's prefs and also for the iphone .tsi that you load in to Traktor and your away! Oh I almost forgot there is no two way communication via Pd data sends from touchosc but it does not receive. If anyone knows how or if that works let me know and I will add it in. All files for both sets of users are in the zip file Enjoy ;-) |
| Portia Washa 30.05.2010 | I'm looking for a bidirectional way to control the pitch (tempo) faders. Traktor receives the input from TouchOSC correctly. However, I couldn't find a way to make TouchOSC receive Traktor input. I'm using the sync function. So, when Traktor automatically changes the tempo of the synced deck, I would like that this changes would be reflected in the TouchOSC faders. Has someone managed to do this? |

| Lupe Shehee 18.05.2010 | Indeed its very easy to do, just open the template in the TouchOSC editor and add another page with an X Y controller, upload it to your Iphone/Ipad, open the osculator template and move the XY pad on your Idevice and then assign them to a midi output not already used. Then you can map this to anything you like in Traktor |
| Dorcas Bassignani 29.04.2010 | would it be possible to creat a full xy pad with that? believeing it would be cool to create some kind of kaoss pad like midi controller, with buttons for presets fx on/off on each channel and a sampler using beatmasher/slicer |
| Erminia Demmerle 30.04.2010 | So i took his awesome template and customized it for my iPad, since i already have a VCI-100. I believe its awesome since u can almost replicate a Kontrol X1 use his Traktor OSCulator file, .tsi to get it to work with Traktor |
| Erminia Demmerle 28.04.2010 | Pooks, this is the sh!t, using it on my iPad, now trying to get Ean's Mapping to work with TouchOSC |
| Leeanna Ayla 28.04.2010 | I just imported the Traktor tsi file and it all worked with the supplied Traktor template. Now to start on getting the midi fighter mapping to work with the basic mapping's 4x4 grid. |
| Aprizal Rustarmadi 22.04.2010 | ive almost got this working but not just yet. how do i get my iphone to transmit midi signals on channel 5? i see in your map that all messages are on channel 5. when i open the "traktor" file in the above zip folder with osculator, my iphone adds new output messages to osculator...any walkthrough setup sets would be greatly appreciated! |
| Liberty Brodbeck 10.03.2010 | Woah, this just made my evening , awesome work man! I'm gonna give it more playtime later, thanks again! |
| Lupe Shehee 14.12.2009 | Which part of it? The TouchOSC templates are made with the free editor from their website. The osculator template was just made by opening osculator and moving all the faders and pressing all the buttons on the TouchOSC template as they would show up in Osculator and then I manually assigned them to midi. The Traktor mapping is done from the mappings tab in the pref's. |
| Hermila Wigle 14.12.2009 | how you make this template? I want make own map for traktor. but can't find how customize signals Thanks |
| Lupe Shehee 03.12.2009 | if anyone wants me to change anything for them function wise just let me know. Cheers |
