Custom APC40 for Rick-M Traktor Pro 4 deck

[Rick-M]

I posted some stuff on here before about this mapping. I took some shots tonight with my iPhone and thought I would get your guys opinion on how I am using the APC40 with Traktor Pro. I am using 4 decks and yes all my L.E.D's work. They also flash when a deck is activated and effects are activated. If you have any questions let me know. I have custom knobs to help make the mixer more organized.

Feedback welcome.

had the idea for something like this some time ago. i like the way you realized it. you're motivating me on realizing mine too. thanks man!

[Rick-M]

Yeah, I tried using some other ways of having the controller mapped. This is by far the best. It breaks down the controller into the 4 decks really easy and gives me all my effects and loop controls I need for each deck without having to switch through a bunch of banks. The only other banks I use are 2 and 3 for some effects, but I do have effects on bank 1 as well. I also have the L.E.D pads flash for play and sync. This works well for not having to always stare at the computer screen.

looks good rick-m. can you post the tsi and a pdf with visual explanation.

just wondering what the row of 8 buttons along hte bottom are being used for? as well as the collection of 24 smaller buttons above the faders. did you have to use a midi program to get the mapping functioning right?

[Rick-M]

The 8 buttons are the banks for the bottom 8knobs. The middle row of the bottom 24 are for the cueing into your headphones through your sound card. I didn't use any program, Everything was done through traktor using the in and out midi signals. The top and bottom of the 24 are currently empty. I didn't need them because all the effects turn on with the turn of the knobs they are located on. I do need to add a few more things to manage the gain control, but overall it works really well. I was trying to send the tsi. In a pm last night and it was not working. Let me know how and I'll be happy to share.

hey Rick-m, just pm'd you with instructions on how to PM. it's pretty easy. a little easier here to navigate than Native instruments site - imo. anyway, you could also just post it like anything else - like the pics you posted at the beginning of this post. then we can all just grab it if we want and you don't have to reply to a bunch of pm's.

I'd like to check it out as well, if you wanna shoot me a PM. Really getting into Traktor and the apc40. Tried so many mappings I think I might try making my own soon too.

[Rick-M]

Hey guys i will be posting my TSI tomorrow for some of you to try out. I will also be posting my new pictures of the APC40 and how I have customized it for traktor. The TSi I will post is a simple version of what I am working on. I made some changes but they aren't ready for me to post yet. Talk to you guys tomorrow!

[chrisdavis]

Very cool! Can't wait to see it
