Spectra - Jam-Meister 3K
Spectra - Jam-Meister 3K Posted on: 22.02.2013 by Latoria Kavulich Tekki & I are working on a 3 bank (at this stage) mapping for the Spectra.Bank 1 is my version of the second "flavour" on Ean's Jam On It for the MF3D. I have removed some features, added others. Most FX utilise super knobs and are more subtle & organic in nature than the typical IG type mappings. Bank 2 is the Transport section. Includes a beat-phase monitor on the play buttons, Loop active indicator and track end warning in the top quadrants. Bank 3 is the Browser section ... definitely a work in progress at this stage, we plan on releasing the first version that works on 2.5.1 and 2.6+ very soon! | |
| Maryalice Grauberger 21.04.2013 | This looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out..great job guys! |
| Random X 21.04.2013 | Yeah, somehow I forget to take time to map that correctly. (When bashing buttons, I start and end up mixing tunes long!) |
| Latoria Kavulich 21.04.2013 | aye, that tekki's job |
| Kellie Myrum 20.04.2013 | Looking great guys! If you need any help with that REC button let me know |
| Latoria Kavulich 19.04.2013 | first go at screen cap. go easy. |
| Latoria Kavulich 17.04.2013 | a few more tweaks to come and i am working on a preview video soon (have been a bit busy running in the new cans) i asked tekki to add an intermittent flashing red to the record toggle. |
| Kristie Beschorner 20.03.2013 | Can't wait to try it out! This mapping looks amazing! |
| Latoria Kavulich 16.03.2013 | what i like about it is depending on what other gear you have, you may only use 1 or 2 of the banks. for example, i am finding this to be awesome for quickly prepping a set with the browser controls and basic transport functions. there are some fantastic detailed mappings out there for the spectra, but tekki and me believe that for most people, a functional and relatively simple map would be perfect. flashflooder has just released a new one on the mappings site called "FX Squared" as well. |
| Debera Renkes 16.03.2013 | Wow, looks like a phenomenal Spectra mapping. Can't wait! |
| Latoria Kavulich 16.03.2013 | should be ready for the public release soon, just some minor adjustments and additions in the background |
| Latoria Kavulich 16.03.2013 | ... and then some |
| Random X 07.03.2013 | We have some instant grat in the first FX bank, if I am right. |
| Kym Miki 06.03.2013 | and what about adding instant grat? |
| Random X 06.03.2013 | Update finished; all 4 banks are mapped. The real fun starts now: Tweaking and mashing! |
| Latoria Kavulich 05.03.2013 | update with the 4th bank. |
| Random X 05.03.2013 | True that. It started as an idea to enable users to control traktor almost out of the box. |
| Kellie Myrum 05.03.2013 | Cheers mate! This way we have all users happy |
| Random X 05.03.2013 | That, Minister of Mapping, title's there for a reason, dammit! With this mapping we want to keep it as simple as possible for users new to MIDI(controllers?). So the mapping must remain clean and easy to use. Could do fancy schmancy stuff, or stuff that would challenge us, like your mappings do most of the times, but we tried to keep it as organic as possible. |
| Kellie Myrum 05.03.2013 | Right but I like it that way, pushing mapping potential to max. Ultimate |
| Random X 05.03.2013 | Hahahahaha, okay.... That's way more advanced than we're aiming for, tbh. |
| Kellie Myrum 05.03.2013 | I know... But would be different here, because deck and mix bank will have at least eight sub banks where mixer will be included in one of them |
| Random X 05.03.2013 | Cool, It's nothing too rich though... just the bare necessities. |
| Kellie Myrum 05.03.2013 | Nice! Having a mixer controls was one of my ideas as well. |
| Random X 05.03.2013 | Yups... tweaking speed is there, only what I'm tweaking... :P LoLz, bear with us.... it will be teh awesome... When done, you might even not need a mixer. |
| Latoria Kavulich 05.03.2013 | more tweaks, and bank 4 is going to be a basic mixer section with crossfader, automated volume faders and eq kills! |
| Latoria Kavulich 24.02.2013 | back in tekki's hands again ... lets see what he wants to add or tweak. my mapping skills are quite rusty but i had a decent jam today and so far this certainly passes my thrash test. sounds fantastic with psytrance and the transport and browse functions are quite intuitive. my thing is this needs to be "drunk friendly" |
| Kellie Myrum 23.02.2013 | Pardon me, guess I overlooked that Definitely looking forwards to this! |
| Latoria Kavulich 23.02.2013 | its blank at this stage mate |
| Kellie Myrum 23.02.2013 | And 4th bank stays open? |
| Johnsie Zike 24.02.2013 | pictures are not loading. |
| Kristofer Krauel 23.02.2013 | Following!! |
| Random X 23.02.2013 | Yeah, it will be teh awesome! First some test bash sesh'es to try and kill it. If it still lives afterwards, it should get a "go live amongst the buttonmashers" pretty soon! |
