Using Ableton Push LCD Display in Traktor.

Cool that was what I was thinking of doing. I'm trying to get a purely remix deck setup and wanted that for my slot filters. Can you post the pipe file?

That's an awesome thread guys, keep it up !!

I want to find a programmer to help make a simple editor for the Push to allow you to edit the LCD and it will compile the assignments into sysex messages without necessarily inputting hexadecimals. Something more specific to push that has presets you can assign.

Hopefully with presets such as:
Volume bar
Volume (db)
Volume (1-10)
Pan bar
Pan (L.10-C-R.10)
Frequency (hz)
Time(mm: ss)
time(Bars: beats )
Frames (hh: mm: ss: frames)
Beats(64/1-1/64)
On/off
Step through List(item1,item2,item3)
Percentage (%)
Midi range numbers(1-127)
Alphabetical

I know things such as timing maybe fairly impossible due to the restriction on sysex transfer rate and midi resolution.


Also it could assign things by section. Instead of having to write a whole line at a time(i.e. the whole 68 characters row). You could assign them to blocks of either 8 or 17 characters. Essentially splitting the LCD into 4ths or 8ths.

I have drawn up some interface ideas. Unfortunately my programming knowledge is limited to the web.

Here you go, needs some cleanup but you'll get the idea pretty quickly. I'm sending the same CC through channels 1-7 to keep mapping a bit more intuitive and sending velocity 6-5 (on Traktor's side) for the bar characters. I'll update this along with a mapping when it gets done sometime next week.

Cool thanks.

I'm glad I came across this thread! I'm trying to figure out how to translate this process to Bomes Midi Translator, which I have an extensive mapping that I'd like to incorporate the LCD into. Anyone on here have any guidance/experience with Bomes sending sysex? From what I've read, you can just type in the sysex codes directly and it should work but so far no luck.

I also tried loading the TSI and midi pipe files posted and no dice there either :P

Unfortunately, I don't have that program. I took a look at it but it wasn't as easy as midi pipe, but that is just me. I'm in the process of writing max/map program to do this but I'm a beginner at max. As a test run with max, I made a step sequencer for the push

[mrdorianjames]

I'll put a link to to the strp sequencer when I'm done if you want?

Well the midi pipe files and tsi wouldn't help you in bomes.

Do you have Traktor mapping for what you are doing that sends to the bomes through Traktor midi outport?

Whoa, I just came across this thread! I've done this a totally different way, using Max:
