Announcing the .TSI file format documentation (I've reverse-engineered it)

[ivanzl]

I've reverse-engineered the .tsi binary file format specification, which Traktor Pro by Native Instruments uses to store its Controller Mappings. I am hoping this should open the gates to new power tooling for MIDI controller mapping power tools (Traktor's own being rather sub-optimal).

The project, documentation and instructions are here: https://github.com/ivanz/TraktorMappingFileFormat/wiki

BIG news!!!

Nice work!

Next step now is to validate. I am going to make a simple tool to read a mapping and write it back to a new file and test that the new file works the same as the old one.

Anyone willing to help out? I need your mapping .tsi file - I will then give you back one, which the tool has produced and you will have to check if it works the same way as before?

Do you guys use Windows or Mac OS X out of interest?

I can test your .tsi on both. Let me know!

this one is pretty complex and should be good for this testings: https://maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/1907

Made a bit more progress today. I am also able to directly read from Traktor's Settings - no need for export/import.

Wait - you have a numbered list of ALL Traktor mappable commands???

I want it!!!

Umm... yes please?

I don't have the full list yet, because I haven't gone through and extracted them all just yet. Once I do - will post them. (BTW those numbers are internal Traktor thing - not really useful for anything but messing around with the internals of the mapping files)
