Mapping idea, modifiers, cross contamination
Mapping idea, modifiers, cross contamination Posted on: 26.12.2012 by Deangelo Boender I'm remapping my MF Classic for cue point juggling and it's pretty smooth so far! Banks 1 and 2 are IG on decks A and B, banks 3 and 4 for cue points 1-8 also on decks A and B. This leaves me with four buttons left over on banks 3 and 4. I was going to map three of them to instant effects, but I wanted one of them to be a shift button for deleting cue points, and toggling the "hold or toggle" state of the effects. My only problem is that modifiers are global, and I don't know how to track down which ones I can use without screwing up the functionality of my other controllers! Does anyone know a safe way for me to go about finding out what modifier I can use as a simple "shift" state? Also, what are some effects you guys like to use over cue point juggling? I already figure on reverb and delay, help me believe of a third one! | |

| Deangelo Boender 26.12.2012 | Cool thank you! I'll dive right in then! |
| Kellie Myrum 26.12.2012 | In separate devices you're good. |
| Deangelo Boender 26.12.2012 | different mappings per device, but I thought that modifier states were global? |
| Kellie Myrum 26.12.2012 | Do you use separate mappings for each device or do you have both controllers mapped in single generic device? |
| Deangelo Boender 26.12.2012 | My concern is that my VCI-100 mapping uses a lot of modifiers, and I don't want to map a modifier to my midi fighter that would screw things up with my VCI. Is there any way to determine which modifiers are good for controller double duty? |
| Kellie Myrum 26.12.2012 | Activate 3rd bank, add modifier 1 / button-hold / value 1, Assign it for button. Set store hotcue M1=0 Delete cue M1=1 Repeat this for bank 4 and you're good to go. |
| Deangelo Boender 26.12.2012 | Perhaps using the same modifier as the shift button on my VCI-100? It would be pretty centric around temporary toggling already, and I don't believe I would ever have to use the "Shift+whatever" on two controllers at once. |
