TraktorTools 1.0 (with TSI Merger, Channel Changer and Deck Remapper)
Posted on: 02.04.2009 by Dorthy Delamar
TraktorTools contains three different tools:
- TSI Merger, to merge the MIDI and keyboard mapping from two files into one
- Channel Changer, to change the MIDI channels in a MIDI-Mappings
- Deck Remapper, to remap the deck assignment of the MIDI commands in a tsi file
More information can be found in the PDF file which is part of the download package.

System requirements
- PC with Windows XP/Vista
- installed .NET Framework Version 2.0 or higher

Download link
http://www.traktorbible.com/pages/do....aspx?ID=tt101
The downloaded zip file contains five files:
- the executable file TraktorTools.exe
- three DLL files
- one PDF document with TraktorBible-Tutorial No. 1 which explains how to use the tools.

Have Fun Guys!!!

How do you map the ports to the given device?

Look in the drivers/setting program of the Akai there will be a section to redefine the channels and all the CCs, Notes.
AND/OR you can
In the traktor midi mapping section look up the top click the top drop down like and select new mapping. To the right of this box is 2 little box called device or something, click these and select the Akai in both. Now map away on the Akai but remember to only map the Akai in this mapping (you can switch selections up the top).

Not to argue my point but given the TSI format/editor is such a PITA setting the mapping and controllers up correctly the first time will save having to rebuild the mapping when you do need to share a modifier.

Dana Ordinario
10.05.2011		Ohh man you got my hopes up
Leeanna Ayla
09.05.2011		We were believeing you wanted to do something much more advanced than that. The information they gave you is also in the manual I suggest you take a look at it.
Monty Strauder
09.05.2011		Hey Guys, its me again! I called Native Instruments... and iam happy to told u there is a totally easy way to improt the mappings!

Traktor Pro 2
Preferences
Controller Manager
on the Top Device Setup
there u have to click on ADD
IMPORT
choose your TSI file!

Thats it!

09.05.2011		I'm betting the same response the DJTT crew get:
'It's not a priority issue"

Should really set up a campaign to change that DJTT has a big following maybe some focused whining could make NI see it as an issue.
Leeanna Ayla
09.05.2011		let us know what they tell you.
Monty Strauder
09.05.2011		Oh fuck that means i have to programm all again manually! hardshit!!! i say 5 days bye bye... mapping... i will call NI and ask them... :eek:
Shirlee Depiazza
09.05.2011		Basically the TSIs went from a XMLish set-up to a pile of HEX/ANSII soup that no one has so far had the patience to reverse engineer.
Dana Ordinario
08.05.2011		Not that I currently know of. There hasn't been an update to this program in a long time which is a shame. I'm not sure how difficult or what kind of encryption is on these files but they must have changed something with the release of 1.2 that makes this program not be able to read them.
Monty Strauder
08.05.2011		Is there anything to manage the TSI files ? I have 3 Mapping files but i need this in one! I am confused!
Daniell Pesti
14.07.2010		Thanks.!
Look This.. Is my keyboard mapping..
Sorry for the lenguaje..

Very true, and something I support a lot (check out my vci-300 tsi I broke everything up in just the controller). But could be a problem for cross controller modifers and just gets harder to read. Having everything on seperate channels is just good practise. I'm not sure there's a standard/best practise guide to setting up midi but as a programmer you'd have to agree minimising reuse of control names is probably a good idea

Sabra Brugger
14.03.2010		Anyone know why the error "The selected file contains no midi settings." appears? The file definitely contains midi settings...
Leota Saniuk
03.09.2009		The bummer is .. since NI is now encoding the MIDI mappings in 1.2, I doubt that Rainer will be investing anymore time in keeping this tool up to date. We need to be in NI's face over this .. this sort of thing should become easier and not harder!
Vernon Positano
02.09.2009		The deck remapper tool has a bug, which is largely down to the stupidity of the NI config file.

Every midi map line has a 'channel' assigned to it. This isn't the midi in/out channel, in this instance, its the deck that the midi key relates to, with -1 being 'focus, then a,b,c,d being 0,1,2,3.

However, the commands mapped to the FX units also share the same numbering system, starting with 0 for FX unit 1, and 1 for FX unit 2.

This means that if you use the deck remapper tool to change say deck a->c and b->d, then EVERY channel 0 will become a channel 2, and EVERY channel 1, will become a channel 3.

Now.. when the FX channels are changed, from 0 and 1, to 2 and 3, it fubars the file and when you reimport the file, traktor detects that you can't have that setting and removes the lines.

So be warned. If you use the deck remapper, you have to do some manual merging and splitting to preserve certain lines in your midi mapping, or they will get lost.

So how would you go about merging the SE layout with the own one?

I also want to get rid of the entire middle section except the filter as I'm mixing externally and assign everything manually.

It's all a bit confusing, pain in the ass editing these things. Would you just delete everything that shouldn't be in both files and just merge? Or what's the best way?

I still don't understand the modifiers properly, which modifier is the AB/CD knob switch in the SE layout?
*sigh*, people keep showing that they need a better way to manage their TSI files, but you do not endorse the approach that will enable this. i know i am ranting on about this, and it might seem like i am high jacking all sorts of threads, but right now the TSI export format simply does not lend itself to these kinds of use cases. the TSI merger is very limited in what it can really do for you simply because the underlying format is essentially crap.

so pleas please please +1 this on the NI community s.

01.05.2009		Or you could go to the Official Site and not download from Rapidshare? Just a thought.

And no there is not going to be a OSX Version. But you can use the online viewer.
