How to go about Modifiers
How to go about Modifiers Posted on: 19.09.2009 by Luann Scatterday Hi,I will get my teeth in this later on this week but wnated to know if any1 to help me with a jump start. 2 Question : How do I go about having a Modifier that work in toggle mode, so I could just press a button/ knob/ fader and still have both hands to work onother stuff ... i.e. not having to hold the Modier button... imagine for instance having a controller all mapped for decks a and B, and by pressing a button/ Knob FAder, having the same controllers but now for Decks A & B ... I can't seem to find the toggle option for Modifiers with the new Traktor 1.2 How can I have the same control (say a Button) have more than 3 diferent funtions?? Right now I know how to set it up for : funtion one - modifier 1 value 0, modifier 2 value 0 funtion two - modifier 1 value 1, modifier 2 value 0 funtion Three - modifier 1 value 1, modifier 2 value 1 Thank you in advance, Z | |

| Luann Scatterday 05.10.2009 | duhhhh ... I had this quick tutorial by Ean but had totally forgotten about it Thanks Animus! To all others... http://www.djranking s.com/2008/12/2...ore-controlls/ and finally toggle mods ... http://www.djranking s.com/2009/03/2...ini-modifiers/ Z |

| alice roy 04.10.2009 | Global modifiers dont work with 1.2.1 anymore. That's what cracked my tsi, and cant find a proper toggle solution / multiple decks arrangement for my VCI. |
| Vincent Durrance 04.10.2009 | you can set up modifier toggles its really easy! Ean wrote an article on his blogs about it. Heres how mine look: Modifier 8: Global Next M8=0 Modifier 8: Global Previous M8=1 Have those mapped to the same button and whoila its a toggle for your modifier. |
| alice roy 04.10.2009 | That's exactly the issue.. I cant seem to engage toggles and the way I had my old 1.1 MUST use toggles. Hope somebody can shed some light on this issue... |
| Luann Scatterday 04.10.2009 | export yer midi settings as a backup, after that delete yer mappings, now do a new mapping with only one button/ fader that you want to use with a triple function... add the modifiers and give it a try... with only a few assigns it should be easier to debug! Check with something like MIdi Monitor app what type of messages... so far as I know there is no way to toogle a button... You could use a fader but assign as if it as a button. this will sort of emulate the toogle function! Please higher minds of TT can you let us know how to use a button with toggle !!! Z Also depending on how you import yer MIditech you might loose or not the modifiers! |
| alice roy 04.10.2009 | Hi, Im having similar issues here.. let me explain my issues... In 1.1 I had the following setup: I had the "<", "z" and "x" to the modifier 1 with values 0,1 and 2. These modifiers helped me to: mod 1 val 0: use the VCI to control decks a and b mod 1 val 1: use the VCI to control decks c and d mod 1 val 2: use the VCI to control decks c and d while using external mode for TSP in 1.2, I try now to use the top 3 left buttons on the VCI100 (next to the 4 mini buttons) as modifiers to do the same stuff as before but... NO LUCK! How do you suggest I can achieve this setup in 1.2? Many thanks... |
| Luann Scatterday 21.09.2009 | hey, Thanks for answering... I'm not quite sure I did understand your answer but it turns out the Modifier thing is lot's simpler than what I initially though, so for future reference and for other people having the same probs here goes. Just add Modifier one as many time as needed (up to 8 keys/ knobs per each modifier, only after using all the 8 values to modifier one you should move to modifier #2) but each time with a different value... Mod 1 - X Key - action Hold Value=1 Mod 1 - Y Key - action Hold Value=2 Mod 1 - z Key - action Hold Value=3 How can I have the same control (say a Button) have more than 3 different functions?? Setup example function one - modifier 1 value 0 (this should be what you want to happen if no Mod. Buttons are pressed at the same time) funtion two - modifier 1 value 1 - Acts when X key is pressed and hold in conjuntion funtion Three - modifier 1 value 2 - Acts when Y key is pressed and hold in conjuntion funtion Four - modifier 1 value 3 - Acts when Z key is pressed and hold in conjuntion For the other part of the question... You can simulate the toggle MODIFIER key by using a knob or fader in Hold mode. Z |
| Makkins Clifton 21.09.2009 | Just make 2 mappings for the button you want to toggle. One sets the M1 to lets say 1, if the modifier condition M1 is 0 applies Another one sets M1 to 0 if the modifier condition M1 is 1 applies
How can I have the same control (say a Button) have more than 3 diferent funtions?? Right now I know how to set it up for :
funtion one - modifier 1 value 0, modifier 2 value 0 funtion two - modifier 1 value 1, modifier 2 value 0 funtion Three - modifier 1 value 1, modifier 2 value 1 |
