Traktor & Launchpad not on speaking terms!!

[kooper1980]

I'm in desperate need of some help. Since moving from Ableton to Traktor 4 months ago I've had a beautiful looking launchpad sitting and collecting dust. Recently had some success mapping my LPD8 to control hotcues on decks c & d and thought I'd have a go at mapping the launchpad to do the same thing and run it along side my digital jockey. Seems that mapping the launchpad is a different beast. I've tried automap but that program sucks and I just can't get my head around katapult at all.
Traktor is recognising that the Launchpad is plugged in because when I add a device I can choose the Launchpad for the in and out ports but it's not picking up any midi signals and I've been fiddling with it for a week!!

Can anyone offer some advice because I'd love to add this to my set up!!

I know whenever I disconnect and reconnect my Oxygen 49 I have to reselect the midi in and out, but I see you have already tried this.

Have you tried mapping something in Traktor using the learn function? and it doesn't recognize it?

Also make sure you are selecting general midi as contoller type.

Hey, appreciate the reply.

I have it set up as a General Midi yeah. Ive tried the Learn function and nothing is recognised. The Midi Icon at eh top of Traktor (the one that looks like a mini controller) is lit up orange instead of light blue. Not sure if this means anything but its all i have.

wa gna say talk to Gil-Chill but i see you already did, sorry i can't be any more help than that. I think you might have to force yourself into katapult and try not to get thrown back out again (chortle).

HAHA Laugh away!!!

Last time i tried to get into Katapult i got chewed up and spat out!!! Think i may just sell the Launchpad and buy an X1 instead!!!

Concede defeat!!
