Also can someone tell me what the pads of the Launchpad are like? Are they as responsive as the MF? Can I bash away at hotcues as well as I could on arcade buttons?

I do mess around on ableton so this could be an attractive option but the feeling of the pads is important to me.

thanks

Yes the super combos are mapped as well. IMO the pads are great and very responsive. The LED feedback is great to see in action, a feature you don't get on the midi fighter.

However I think noticed a bug in the turntable fx mod. Releasing the button on deck A does not reset the dry/wet. You get the sound of deck coming back up to speed instead of the track kicking back in.

hmm. Not sure why its not working for you. The dry and wet instant kicks out upon release for me. Did you import my tsi files or use my directions to create this effect on your own?

I used the files from the link. Tested again this morning and it works perfectly.

Super chuffed, thanks again!

is lo-fi not used in the supercombo's though? what difference does the turntable stop make to these?

laptoip specs: intel pentium dual core mobile processor T3400 (1MB cache L2 @ 2.16Ghz), Mobile Intel G140 Chipset, 4GB DDR2 Ram (3 usable with windows 7)

as I have said above its something specific to Traktor Pro 2 and the LED's crashing my lappy as I can use it perfectly without LEDs or I can use it with led's in ableton!

I was having much the same issue, after a bit of playing about I figured a work around......

When you first load traktor go into controler manager & for the 4 tsi's set in port & out port to launchpad then change the out port to none. You should see the lights come on in banks as you do this for each tsi then stay on without feedback or any flashing thereafter.

As I said, only a work around to give you some lights & indication of the layout. I have tested it rigorously & all seems to be stable.

When I get more time I shall try to re-place the led commands in small groups until I can figure out what's causing the issue.

thats a neat little work around for now and I am glad its not just me having this issue!

one thing i noticed when I was playing around with the LED outputs is that if you remove the beat phase monitor outputs it extends the time using the LP with LED's before it crashes so that is casuing some kind of issue, I am guessing with the rate it needs to update the monitor. DOnt really need it anyway so its no loss.

let me know if you get any further with it, I am going to have a play with the tsi again tonight now i have windows reinstalled.

I found some spare time and decided to make a new version for those having issues with LED messages. This version is constant on at brightest state. I changed the beatphase monitor to a more simple in/out. Please let me know if this solves your issues. Cheers!
