Hi,

I’d like to edit my cc note messages for my korg Nano controllers and
Roland hardware to match the midi notes sent out by the kontrol F1.

i’ve tried looking online for a diagram or pdf already but can’t find out what notes the F1 sends out.

i’m hoping that if i can edit the notes to match the F1 i can hopefully get some use of the remix sets in traktor.

obviously this will be without the colour co-ordination but i’m not bothered about that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and obviously if i can get his to
work i’d be happy to share my results with the wider community.

thanks

AFAIK to control the remix decks F1 sends out NI’s HID messages not MIDI. I may be wrong though

is there anyway to make moving from the loop recorder fast specifically not having to stop one before starting the other?

faster*

I replied to your thread on the forum. :)

Nice, I use the loop recorder and remix decks when I’ve got a loop going on a track deck that I want to put in a remix deck slot so that I can kill the track deck, but still play the loop.

Nice vintage Descente jacket by the way. :)

cool jacket Zach

killer tutorial

yeah it will automatically continue to record layers indefinitely or you can just hit undo and keep going :)

Zach, How do you use F1 and MIDI Fighter together?

Both are for Remix deck? or Each has different special role?

hes using the midi fighter for the looper record… did you not watch the video??

Cool routine. I’m still not convinced it’s better to use than Ableton. One could certainly setup these samples a lot quicker in Ableton and then just drag them to Traktor. *WELL* I suppose if you already own Ableton and know how to use it.

keep them coming Zach .. these tutorials are awesome thanks.

its funny because thats what I did at first and then everyone at the office was like, you just did your whole traktor tutorial in Ableton! lol

How long did this take you to make in Traktor V. Ableton? It would be an interesting comparison.

the main difference is that in traktor you have to play everything in yourself, you can’t write in patterns and automation. In ableton, I had grabbed snippets, put them in a drumrack and was doing midi loops with lots of processing and programming. Much more detailed

This is definitely a new realm for DJs to tread upon, it’s got lots of space to explore.

I’ve heard so many djs talk about using this…but have yet to see anyone do it live. I know guys like Ean do videos with it and all. So if this is used at home or studio, I guess it’s pretty cool but I prefer Ableton or my Maschine.

very cool! love the instructional videos. Made my life a heck of a lot easier doing the beats with a loop recorder instead of using audition

I have been using Ms Pinky to do this live input looping in Ableton, (recording loops to DVS TT manipulation). However Ms Pinky is not working in the latest Live. I saw this tut and it sparked my interest again in using Tracktor routed through Ableton, and capturing Live in Traktors Input for the Loop Recorder. However this is kinda complex and I have not dove in just yet.
Question, do you think its possible to sync the 2 programs, use midi mapping to fire off a quantized rec loop in Traktor and then when the recording is done, it puts it directly to spinning vinyl for playback? Basically a 1 button push “quantized” that allows you to record a loop and automatically resume playback via DVS?

Super glad to have found this… been waiting for someone else to do all the work!! Any way you could post a .tsi of your midifighter mapppp?

Thanks dude! This tut and the one about Maschine were really great!

Got ya. But not in video, in general how they can along with together?

this is still good to know even if it’s easier in ableton. however this is sooo much easier in ableton lol. about two mouse clicks and every sample from your audio track is edited across your pads for you to fine tune. and it’s beatmapped. toss it into traktor afterwards or into a drumrack for live playing. remember you can do the whole pad linking in ableton drum racks as well and it puts both samples on one pad instead of just linking them giving you way more flexibility.

do i see glow in the dark fader caps on your F1 mad zack?
when can i get some?!

shit any way you want… for example I have a beat on deck A, F1 controlling oneshots on B, which i use to scratch. I then use my MidiFighter with the instant gratification mapping to throw effects on the beat ( which can be locked) switch decks on the midi fighter over to B to throw effects on my sample. The F1 can also shift quickly to A , If you want it to be a remix deck and you can choose which channels have FX. This works well if your drums are separate (e.g.. beatmash just the snare)
so if you have bass and leads they can go unaffected or just them get an effect, which is triggered live by the Midifighter

Hi Zach! Can you explain please, how to get the correct sound levels for the recordings with the loop recorder? I am recording the parts of the tracks through the loop recorder (Cues selected as source) but after loading them to slots on the F1, they sound way too loud or sometimes not loud enough. The recording from the loop recorder should be as loud as when it plays in the slot or am I wrong? Oh and btw, I had the gain of the deck and F1 channel set to the same level. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Some good skills from MAd Zach…..

What happened to the Ableton version of this tutorial? Complete the trinity, man! :-)

How much of a genious are you?

Mad Zach your tutorials are freaking awesome!!

awesome vid. I thought it was cool what i was able to map of the remix deck functionality to my Maschine controller but man .. this just brings it all together. I’ma grab an F1 right now :)

Will the midi fighter work also with the free Traktor remix deck packs as well?
