Greetings,

After many different iterations of how to use the Launchpad with
Ableton and Traktor, I stumbled upon a tip, that might be useful to
some of those of you i have worked with in different threads on
using Ableton with Traktor and the Launchpad

Anyways.

Running MacOSX, but I assume this is internal to the Launchpad.
I didn't read the manual very deep. Please forgive me.

Here is the new setup.
In Ableton use the Launchpad as a normal Control Surface:
[Launchpad] - [Launcpad In] - [Launchpad Out]

In Midi In/Out:
[Automap In] - [Automap Out] and [Automap Sync] can be off for.

In Traktor create a new generic midi interface, use the AutoMap Midi In/Out

Now here is the cool part while in Ableton mode on the Launchpad.
HOLD down User 2 Button and press Down Arrow(View)...

This will switch the pad into Automap!!!!

If you press the Down Arrow (View) again the Automap window
will pop up, define as many scenes as you want.

Now to switch back hold User 2 (User) and press Down Arrow (View).
Back into Ableton mode!

No more virtual cables, passthru or translation software, preserving
all functions of Launchpad and providing Automap for Traktor.
