Download the mapping here:
http://www.djranking s.com/wp-conten...4Banks-1.0.zip

This mapping requires 4 banks mode to be activated

This mapping was designed for the S4 but is compatible with Traktor Pro and all controllers.

If you have an older MF (pre 2/2011) you will need to update the firmware

16.04.2011		Awesome mapping! I have to much fun with it However, I recently discovered that the Delay T3 LED will not lit if you store the effect in bank D while the other decks work.
Jamika Codding
15.04.2011		I am not sure if this is a dumb question; however, I have some ideas I would like to implement on top of the Instant gratification/VCI mappings. Would anyone happen to know how I can get a cheat-sheet of the modifiers used for both mappings? If I am able to accomplish what I am believeing about, I will *definitely* share & document the spoils.

This is what I am believeing:
Having the 4 banks instant gratification map on the MF act as it normally does with the exception that if you tap the bank button again, the button will blink (instead of staying on solid), and you will enter a cue/loop-juggling mode.

For TP2, I am believeing of reversing the bank buttons for the "C" and "D" decks. Single bank button tap will go into loop-juggle mode. I have to experiment with the FX (as I am still learning TP2).

I guess, I can hack at it. I thought I would first attempt to find out if there were any easier ways first.

Thanks,
Rudy

Currently I am able to toggle A and B seemlessly by just making sure the selected group on the maschine is pushed... i.e. - When I want an effect on Deck B so I make sure I push Group B on the mashine... then mash away...

Will I need to activate Groups C and D on the controller editor then make changes in the controller manager to use the same mapping for Decks C and D??

My apologies mate in advance for the simple question... I really would appreciate your reply.

I also made sure that the midi notes were correct (Maschine notes were off by one so I corrected this in the controller editor i.e. 36 = C2 etc...). Still I get no response from Traktor Scratch pro 2 when pressing the buttons on the Maschine.

Any ideas?

Thanks

07.04.2011		At last i took the time to read the Forum to get the MF to rock along side my S4.
This is a kick as set up. A bit sad though that my trusty ol VCI is in storage.
But if it wasnt for that baby i havent found these programming geniuses.
Kisses and hugs from Sweden.
Petronila Mothershead
07.04.2011		I'm trying to map this to my Xone1D, I transposed all the notes accurately re: the chart the nice man made a few pages back, but I'm still having problems.
when i press any of the buttons, the effects activate and go to their certain parameters, but it doesn't actually turn on the effect on the deck.
how do I fix this?
how do I control which deck im putting effects on anyway?
what is 4 banks mode? i know how to set it up, and have on my MF but i dont really get what it does.
Daisy Dotseth
07.04.2011		For the record i love this mapping big time already - my main regret is not getting off my ass sooner and loading it
Daisy Dotseth
07.04.2011		Anyone care to make an S4 Only variant of this mapping? ( i would but we would probably be controlling DJ robots by the time im done)

The way i see it the top set of buttons (selecting decks 1-4) are a bit wasted on the s4 as there are already buttons dedicated to selecting the channels you want the effects on.

Getting rid of them serves 2 purposes:

1 - You could then use the effects on multiple channels if you wanted...
2 - you could have a whole other row dedicated to a new awesome effect (beatslicer or some of the new T2 FX?) maybe even a modifier or shortcut to the combos?


Just a thought

07.04.2011		hey i know how to change the channel i just dont know what channel 3 looks like on the MF and since its 0-15 I am even more confused ( i dont know binary i am sorry i am not a robot) can you please just tell me what channel 3 looks like in the leds of the MF in channel section of menu mode?

NVM! ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!

for anyone that needs it ch. 3 looks like:

# . . .
. . . .
. . * .
o . . o

It finally works!!!!!! ahhhhhhhh yeah kool aide man!!!

I hope that's clear enough?

1. MIDI Channel
---------------


Code:
# . . . <- Flashing exit key
. . . .
* * * * <- MIDI Channel in binary
o . . o <- increment/decrement keys

Each note generated by the Midifighter is generated on a single MIDI
channel. By default this is Channel 3, but the first menu item allows you to
change this to any of the 16 MIDI channels. The 4-bit binary value can be
altered by incrementing and decrementing or you can directly toggle bits in
the value itself.

NOTE: MIDI channels are written down as "1..16" but their binary number is
written "0..15", therefore all leds off will represent the binary value
b0000, which is interpreted as "MIDI Channel 1", b0001 is "MIDI Channel 2",
b0100 is "MIDI Channel 5", etc.

Please note that I am using a Kontrol S4 and hence the custom version of Traktor which for some reason seems to shift the notes by 1. Refer to the X1 MidiFighter thread for more information (somewhere near the end):

http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...d.php?p=255120
Nice work! Works great for me. Just curious, have you tested this with Traktor 2? Everything seems to work fine on S4, but on Traktor 2, the effects pads load different effects into the FX slots (probably due to the fact that they added new effects?) so it doesn't work properly.

Also they still haven't fixed the midi shift bug (sigh).

Edit: nevermind I'm just stupid - this is the same bug as before where you need to import your settings twice to get them to stick. Nice work!

upgraded to TP2, reflashed firmware, imported everything from .hex file, and still no dice... I am very close to just giving up but I want to know whats wrong. Does anybody know if DJTT offers any kind of exchange program for troubled midi fighters? (not in the PCB hardware way, but in the pain in my ass software way) Or when the next firmware/mapping is due to come out so I have an excuse not to smash the thing with a spiked bat.

this is what i have done... (copy and pasted from "New firmware Midifighter-20110204" community that i posted in)

Yeah I imported effects settings and controller mappings into traktor and I am not sure whats wrong so I'll go through it fully from the beginning step by step and list the steps and hopefully somebody can find an error in my process.

1. Downloaded the MFUploader and file "midifighter-2011204.hex" from DJTT page.
2. Connected MF in boot mode to windows vista and select drivers from folder location: %ProgramFiles%/DJTechTools/MidifighterUpdate/BootloaderDrivers
3.Launched MFUpdater and because I have been having problems fetching the .hex file with the updater (it maxes out my cpu then freezes) so I simply hit file in the menu, then upload the "midifighter-2011204.hex" then follow the steps to flash the firmware.
4. Fire up TPS4 and import the file: "MF_FX 4Banks 1.0.2.tsi" with the import button on the midi mappings page.
5. Menu pops up that says Import effects, Gui, controller mappings, etc. I select only controller mapping and effects settings.
5. I select Ins/Outs to MF for each channel (A,B,C,D) for the 4 deck mapping
6. Reload TPS4 midi mapping in controller manager (twice to be sure)
7. Get the midi fighter into 4 deck internal mode through the menu and the light pattern looks like this:
. . . .
#. . .
. . * *
* . . *
(# = exit key, . = light off, and * = light on)
8. Exit out of menu and open TPS4.
9. Load a new track to deck A, and select deck A on midi fighter, then....
9. Get Rejected.... LIKE A BOSS

TPS4 is still getting the midi messages because at the top little section that says CTRL is lighting up when I press buttons on the midi fighter, yet nothing happens with the effects. Am I missing something here? It doesn't feel like I am but hey I am no tech tools guru.
(it works with controls that i map but not with the mapping at all)
sooo yeah... thoughts?

I removed the Deck C & D FX mappings and replaced them with some basic transport functions and 8 Hot Cues. The attached image shows the mapping for Bank C & D. I have also attached my tsi file. I tested it out late last evening and seems to work fine, but I make no guarantees. Let me know if you find any bugs.

I couldn't figure out an easy way to move the Instant Grat mappings for Bank A and B so they stayed in their current locations. If someone can tell me how to do this I will gladly move the Deck A FX to Bank B and the Deck B FX to Bank D. This way all Deck A controls would be on the left and all Deck B controls would be on the right.
Thanks Rusty! I've got a 6 x 4 grid on my APC40 so if i duplicate these up it gives me 4 decks worth!!

Nice one....
