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

Hi out there!

Okay here is the deal. Im a knew on the hole dj'ing thing, and I got an Akai Lpd8 this week. I wanna use it as an FX controller for my Reloop Digital Jockey 2.

But I think I have the wrong "setup" for the editor (Software), because I've been following some guides, and the first thing I do, is to loade a certain preset, into the editor, then I open Traktor and add the maching TSI file to the Midi Setup.

But nothing happens, and it's like Traktor isent responding or reacting when I push any pads on the Lpd. The blue Midi button in the top isen't lighting up netiher. Or If I try to use "Learn" under the mapping, nothing is happening when I try to push some of the pads?

I would really appreciate if anyone could or would try to help me

Ok dudes, i had problems with my lpd8 with traktor pro BUT i realised that if the lpd8 is working with the editor or traktor IT WONT WORK WITH ANYTHING ELSE SO:

Once you have finished with the editor, close the editor programme THEN open traktor

And vica versa if you need to get into the editor from traktor

Always make sure the previous app is closed before you open the next.....

Hope this helps....

Well the thing is I can't finish with the editor, cause it would't let me "commit upload"?
Nothing happens when i try...

Thats becuase you have traktor open while you are making modifications - here -

Close all progs - open editor - make your changes - upload to lpd8

NOW open traktor

Want to make some more changes?

CLOSE traktor - open lpd8 editor and repeat as above

simplez??

[Spalte]

not it's not simpel.
The thing is that it is my pc, there can't recognize my lpd, and therefore can't i choose the correct USB device when I open the editor software.

[tinytuco]

In that case you dont have a problem with the lpd8 or traktor

you need to change forums go into a pc support forum and sort out your usb ports - wasting your time in here
