    Default Akai LPD8 and Traktor Pro(All-in-one controls)

    ** 03/04/2010 - V1.2 mapping is up fixed Eq kills and some other bugs.

    I tried to package as much into the mapping as I could. Keep in mind that I use a keyboard with hotkeys to load songs and for simple deck control (Play/pause, monitor select, and some crossfader control). Also note that when switching between programs on the LPD8 the knobs will snap to where the knob is currently(from the previous program youwer in) if you move it at all. If you do not touch it when you are in a new program it will not change it's value.

    You will need to load the presets contained in the attached Zip file through the Akai LPD8 software before loading the attached tsi in traktor. Note: if Traktor is open and reading your LPD8 the LPD8's software will not be able to recognize that the controller is plugged in. Simply exit Traktor and the software will be able to read the LPD8 is running.

    It was easy to hook lpd8 with virtual dj when it came to teaching settings. Traktor scratch pro already has some pre set so i have to go back and re-learn a lot of spots. makes for tedious work is all but i'll get around to using at least the looping and cue presets here.

    hmm .. i am on TP 1.2.2 and some of the buttons seem mapped incorrectly. however the bigger issue is that the knobs seem t do all sorts of wacky things. like not only select an effect but also start play.

    well got it to work in the end. something fishy happened with the preset loading. i did have to fix something on the EQ kill buttons. anyways its all working now. thx!
