4 Deck Mapping for Hercules RMX
4 Deck Mapping for Hercules RMX Posted on: 09.06.2009 by Kayleen Positano Hello, all. I know a lot of people here don't use the RMX, but for those of you that do and are too lazy to remap it for 4 decks yourself, here is what I use:Cue, Play/Pause, Jog Wheels, volume and pitch faders, etc. all control their respective functions in traktor with deck a on the left and b on the right. If you press the Stop button on the right, the right side controlls deck D, and the same on the left with deck C. The play/pause, cue, volume and pitch faders, EQs, EQ kills, sync, beat lock, pitch reset, filter knobs (mapped to the gain knobs), and filter on/off buttons (mapped to source 1/2 buttons) and loop buttons (buttons 1, 2 and 3) as well as the Load Deck buttons are affected by this. Switching a side of the controller to one of the secondary decks also switches to 4d view (if neither side is controlling a secondary deck, 2d mode is used) This was done because I have a /really/ small screen (I use a netbook) You'll probably want to disable this feature. The |< >| buttons for each deck turn on the chained FX (in FX slot 1) and advanced FX (in slot 2) repectively, and are also swapped between Decks A/C and B/D. Pressing the Scratch button in the middle will let you control the effect paramaters in both slots with the EQ knobs (top is left, bottom is right), and buttons 4, 5, 6 on the left turn the separate chained effects (again, in slot 1) on and off. The right 4, 5, 6 buttons are used for the advanced FX (slot 2). 5 turns the effect on and off, while 4 and 6 scroll between the different effects. The monitor mix knob does what it is labled as. The arrow keys in the middle are used for a few different things. The up/down arrows turn snap and quatize mode (respectively) on and off. Right toggles full screen browse mode and acts as a modifier to let you scroll through your collection with both jog wheels. The midi outputs aren't perfect yet, as the stop buttons don't light up, so the sync buttons on each deck light up when that side of the controller is controlling either deck c or d. Oh, and the crossfader cross fades. Duh. http://www.project-segfault.net/traktor/rmx_4_decks.tsi Edit: Oh, and of course, any feedback is awesome, whether you try it out or just read my giant wall of text. | |

| Ilda Barbarisi 10.07.2009 | hey segfault, great mapping! thanks any idea how to stop traktor from switching between 2D and 4D view? happens to me when I switch decks |
| Lashaunda Clavijo 16.06.2009 | Hi all, i have uploaded the tsi mapping at sendspace if anyone needs it. http://www.sendspace.com/file/cihpkh Cheers |

There may be a way to toggle the midi channel, but it wouldn't be under traktor, it would be under the dj console driver software, and I don't really know how you would go about doing that. |
| Lashaunda Clavijo 15.06.2009 | Please disregard my last post... i have got the file now but it doesnt work on mac.. is there any way to convert it to .tks?? or is it possible to use a button to toggle from midi channel 1 to midi channel 2 on the controller and load the default mapping again but modified for decks c and d.. |
| Lashaunda Clavijo 15.06.2009 | Server seems to give a 404 ! |
| Lashaunda Clavijo 13.06.2009 | thanks a lot! |
| Kayleen Positano 13.06.2009 | Hi there plei, it appears someone at my house turned off my server (again). Once they turn it back on, the file should be up, and I'll try to back it up somewhere else. I'm not currently at home, so I can't do it myself. |
| Lashaunda Clavijo 13.06.2009 | Hi there mate.. the file seems to be down...any chance that you can post it to sendspace or to some other online space??? |
| Kayleen Positano 09.06.2009 | Good luck to me? I finished it, and it seems to work ok. The file should work for the steel too, if you want to give it a try. |
| Latoria Kavulich 09.06.2009 | Nice one man. I recently got the Control Steel and have started to fiddle about with a 4 deck setup myself. I didn't believe to use the stop button more as a modifier but now that i believe about it it just makes sense! Definitely a time consuming process custom mapping a controller from scratch so good luck to you mate |
