Mr. Blenderson's Dicer Mapping for Traktor

[MrBlenderson]

Hey all...
I couldn't get the DJTT mapping to load properly on my computer so I just made my own. It's somewhat based on the DJTT mapping but with some added bonuses.

You will need 4 chained effects devices for this mapping. The TSI should load the proper effects but if it does not, load them as follows:
Effect Unit 1: Beatmasher, Filter LFO, Delay
Effect Unit 2: Beatmasher, Filter LFO, Delay
Effect Unit 3: Flanger, Gater, Digital Lofi
Effect Unit 4: Flanger, Gater, Digital Lofi

To make the effect buttons work make sure send 1 and 3 are always on for Deck A and send 2 and 4 are always on for Deck B.

Here's how it works:

Layer 1 - Hotcues
Buttons 1-5: Hotcue 1-5. Each button lights up red if a Hotcue is stored. If it is not lit up you can store one by pressing the button.
Buttons 1-5 Shifted: Delete Hotcues 1-5. Each button lights up dim red if a Hotcue is stored and pushing the button will delete the corresponding Hotcue.

Layer 2:
Button 1: Multi loop. Press once for loop in point, it will turn loop on and light up yellow. Press a second time to set loop out point. While it is looping, press a third time to set the loop to 1 bar and then keep pressing to half the loop length.
Button 1 shifted turns loop off. When button 1 is yellow loop is active.
This one is a bit complicated and if anyone has any questions let me know.
It will make more sense if you just play around with it.

Buttons 2 - 5: Loop roll (light up green)
Button 2: 1/4 note Button 3: 1/8 note Button 4: 1/16 note Button 5: 1/32 note

Buttons 2 - 5 shifted: Quick Loops (light up yellow)
Button 2: 8 bar Button 3: 4 bar Button 4:2 bar Button 5: 1 bar
Note that Button 1 lights up yellow to indicate that loop mode is active. Whenever loop mode is active the multi-loop function (halving loop length) is available, and you can turn loop off by pressing shift+button 1.

Layer 3: Effects

Button 1: Filter sweep
Button 2: Delay
Button 3: Flanger
Button 4: Gater
Button 5: Digital Lofi

Buttons will momentarily turn on effects. Shift+button will toggle them on/off. Buttons will light up orange to indicate that effect is on. You can turn off an effect by tapping the lit button (do not need to do shift+button).

Nice, thanks for sharing.

And how about the DryWet for each one of the 4 FXs slots? How do you control them?

I don't have the dicers but I could use your FXs combinations on my Oxygen 8 v2

[MrBlenderson]

Wet/Dry is set at 100%, that's just how I use my effects. You could map a knob on something else to control it. I'm planning on integrating an ipad into my setup for advanced FX control but I'm waiting for version 2 to drop.

If you wanted to use this idea for the Oxygen8 I would forget my mapping because there's a lot in there you wouldn't use.

Just map a key to set the effect parameter and turn it on.

I'm really into iPAD DJing too, but it's a bit away for me for now...
dreams, dreams...

I will try that, I will check what value you are putting on each parameter and try to copy to my keys

why dont you set it up so when you change to the effects mode it auto loads the correct effects

[MrBlenderson]

I could, but I've found that adding the step of loading an effect before setting the parameter and turning it on adds an ever-so-slight delay in the effect kicking in. The TSI settings should load those effects as the default, and once they're loaded once they never need to change.

[V-Hoff]

You are right, changing efx at every button press sometimes slow the final action.

ill give this map a shot if i have time

[tombruton69]

Never had the problem off loading effects slowing things down but i do use a very optimised pc for traktor that is fairly powerfull
