Home made midifighter(or something..) Hi to all,sorry for my english but I'm italian.
The midifighter is an incredible tool for djs...really, and I want something similar but I'm a fan of DIY and would be too easy to buy the kit.
I would build something similar starting from a cheap numeric keypad,traktor recognized the keypad as a simple keyboard.
I created a simple mapping with cue points, play, pause and sync it works well but I want to use the original midifighter tsi it's possible? |

A sto punto lo faremo con una scheda arduino,cosi posso utilizzare gli arcade buttons anche li.

- You'll also need to learn how to load and edit TSI files using the Mapping Editor in Traktor. RTFM for a gentle introduction to this process. You are then read to load the TSI and check that the MIDI events generated by your keyboard are activating the functions in Taktor.
- You're finished, play and enjoy.
There is only a little problem..I don't have the program that convert key into Midi NoteOn/NoteOff messages,Do you know someone?
Thanks again.

Fatlimey speaks the truth. If you really want to make your keyboard act like a midi fighter that's the process.

i don't understand sorry ,how I can convert the tsi for midifighter(midi) to a tsi for a keyboard? there is a way or I have to rewrite all the commands in a new tsi?
Sorry if I don't understood your explanation,I'm italian and these topics are very hard for me |

Go back to step 2 and try again. |
