Mapping LEDs - which notes?
Posted on: 19.10.2011 by Laquita Cofsky
I've been trying some mapping of my own, but I've hit a brick wall with the LEDs. How are you supposed to know which note applies to which light? Without a learn button the only way I can believe of is by loading a different mapping and getting it from there.

Is there a diagram or something out there?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search.

**Edit - also, rather than starting a new thread, is it possible to map something on the keyboard to sort the browser by key?

Not sure I completely follow you, but if you wanted to sort your entire collection by key, you would need to make a playlist that included the entire collection, then make it a favorites bin. The sort field will not carry over to other bins, or your main collection- just the bin you changed the sort field for. Does that make sense?

Hope that helps!

And thanks for the manual too. Now I've got no excuses not to get LEDs mapped.

20.10.2011		Cool thanks. My problem was that I was using actual windows folders instead of playlists.

I will warn you that if you haven't upgraded to the DJTT Firmware, you will have some buttons in the effects section that share the same mapping as the "effects" in the mixer section.

As for the KB mapping, there is no command to "sort", but there is always a way around that. If you save a playlist that includes your entire collection to a favorites bin, that bin will remember your sort preferences. So if you sort that bin by Key, you can create a mapping command for Browser>Favorites Select...assign as direct button to whichever favorites bin you are using.

The catch, of course, is that Traktor does not remember the sort fields between usages, so you would have to reapply the sorting within the playlist favorite upon each startup. Small price to pay if you use this feature a lot (which I'm assuming you do, since you want in on it's own button. haha)

Hope that helps!
