I’m gonna start surfing the web for this info but if anyone here has good suggestions, please let me know. I’m looking for an efficient way to map Tracktor on the keyboard. I remember reading somewhere here that Phil actually DJ’ed in public like this for a while. So, I know it can be done. I’m using the default one but I’m still learning what certain things do.
Things that puzzle me are:
1) That crossfader! Probably the most important thing i’m looking for. Something that directly switches from deck A to B and also a different setting that allows for a more gradual change.
2) FX units: Less is more in my case. I’ve messed around with most of them but only see myself using reverb, flanger, delay, and gater for the time being.That’s pretty much it for now. I’m actually gonna try mixing a set right now and see if I can think of any other functions I would consider important before searching online.
Hello Mike 🙂
I have found this image for you;
I Hope this is what you are looking for 🙂Hello Mike :);
The Post I just wrote for you is Probably ‘Not’ the Answer you want actually;
But; I have found a Full Tutorial on YouTube of How to set your Own Keyboard Mappings;
Which is Actually what you wanted 🙂[media=youtube]Ciu8mjFuym8[/media]

I just finished going through two 30 min demo sessions with the Traktor demo (which I’m perfectly happy for the time being. I will buy it soon though!) The more I mix songs together, the more I fall in love with this!!!! Slowly but surely i’m learning my tracks inside and out and i’m starting to feel which ones go good together.
Current mood: 😀
This is Excellent Mike 🙂 🙂
It is that ‘Inner Feeling’ that DJ’ing Gives Us that we just Can’t Get Anywhere Else; that tells us whether this is ‘For Us Or Not’; and you have that ‘Feeling’; and this is All That Matters; Everything Else will come Naturally from now on 😎
Current Mood For You 😀Traktor has most of its commands mapped to the keyboard already. If you buy it, you’ll get a printout with all the key mapping. I thought I had a picture of what it looks like, but I can’t find it at the moment.
That said, you can re-map any key to an application function. It is not the most user-friendly mapping editor. Why Native Instruments hasn’t changed it yet, I’m not sure. They should though.

True, but have you seen VDJ’s mapping editor? They have their own scripting language to map stuff! At least Traktor gives you an easy drop down menu of commands.

I haven’t looked at VirtualDJ, no. Why NI can’t make it like LIVE is beyond me. I want to click the control and move my controller. It should be that simple.
There’s two default keyboard mappings that installed along with Traktor. Check in the NI folder in documents for the tsi file and the pdf. To load these mappings go to the controller manager and select add. There’s also a couple on traktorbible.com

Many Apologies Chris;
I am just So Used to playing Grand Theft Auto 4 that when I see a person with the (I don’t even know what they call it)

Traktor Pro 2 Mapping Keyboard Play Deck C And Diabetes
Jul 23, 2012 I may be missing it completely but is there any way to toggle the 'Show C&D' selection via mapping to my controller or even keyboard? Basically if I'm using up to 4 decks in a mix I don't like to keep the 4 decks showing unless they're being used. I'll switch back to only being able to view 2 decks. Not sure if I'm explaining my self well lol. Aug 20, 2010 Hi guys, I'm posting my mapping for my Novation 25SL Mk II keyboard here. Please note that it's for Traktor Pro 1.1.1, haven't tried it in 1.2. Oct 25, 2011 I just release my mapping for use the Akai APC40 with Traktor Pro 2. Following is a brief description but you can find more details in the PDF included with the TSI file. Any feedback is welcome. Full access to 4 decks (2 Full Decks + 2 Sample Decks) in a single layer – No need of switch modes.
Until then I hadn't used virtual functions anywhere in the code at all. The next code example, HumanInteractions7, does away with the enumeration, and has a much simpler approach. Something like the enumeration is needed in those types of environments.Yes, the design you propose is good. I wanted to show a little of the pain that non-OO languages needed in order to do the same thing, and do so with an executable example, rather than my earlier proto-code.

Reader DJ MW writes: “I have decided to sell my CDJs and go digital. However I regularly use a third deck in my sets. I am considering the Mixtrack Pro and I understand that I will need to upgrade to a pro version of whichever program I end up going for to support four channels (probably Traktor) and mapping buttons so that I can switch between decks A and C.”
“My question is: How would it work in relation to volume/pitch controls when switching? Does it lock them in or does it just follow the physical faders when you switch back and change the values, messing up the mix?”
Digital DJ Tips says:
Good question! I cannot be 100% sure with your own mapping using the Mixtrack Pro, as we don’t have one here to test it, but with controllers that are made to use four decks but that only have two sets of faders and knobs, it usually works as follows.
To be clear (for readers who aren’t following), what DJ MW is asking is this: Say you’re on deck A on a controller with two “decks” and two sets of mixer controls but that can control four decks in software. You set the tempo, EQs etc in a certain way, then switch away to deck C (such controllers usually have decks A and C on the left, and B and D on the right). Now, on deck C, you alter all the controls to suit the track playing there, before switching back to deck A. The question is, how does the controller handle those two different sets of settings for bass, mid, treble, gain, fader etc with just the one set of physical controls?
So there are two parts to the answer. Firstly, the actual settings on the deck you’ve returned to will have remain set how you left them, even though the knobs and buttons on your controller are probably set totally differently in the software. This means that the mix won’t have been messed up, as DJ MW feared.
The next question, then, is this: How do you take control again?
Traktor Pro 2 Mapping Keyboard Play Deck C And Drive
Back in the early days of all of this, what sometimes happened was that the second you touched a control, that control “jumped” to the position the hardware was then set to. Not ideal if the tempo was all the way down when you “left” the deck, and the hardware happened to be set with tempo all the way up when you “returned” to that deck!
So a better system was developed and implemented by most. What generally happens nowadays is that the hardware control won’t do anything until you move it back to where it was when you left that deck. So if you left the pitch at fully down, it won’t become “live” again until you move it back to fully down. Then, you can take over from there gracefully, without any sudden change in the control’s setting. It’s sometimes referred to as “soft takeover”.

The only minus point of this is that you do have to keep an eye on the screen to see where the controls are set in the software, to remind you where you have to return the control to in order to make it live again.
So back to your question: I’m hoping a reader can reply in the comments to confirm the actual experience of using a Mixtrack/Mixtrack Pro like this, but if you were to go for a controller designed to work with four decks, like the Reloop Mixage, for instance, this is definitely how it would work.
Can you help DJ MW? Have you every struggled to use four decks on a two-deck controller? Do you successfully DJ in this way, or do you prefer using a full four-channel mixer section with four decks? Please let us know your experiences in the comments.
