Jan 25, 2012  I have just purchased the new traktor s2 and love it. Only probelm is the triangle led warning light is flashing. When i first turn the traktor on it doesnt flash, its not until i open up the software on my computer it starts to flash, i have got my laptop plugged in. When i plug my controller in to the usb, all the buttons light up light they usually do, but the traktor pro 2 software doesn't recognize the device as a controller. The USB logo on the controller does light up, and the light of the master volume do light up when I start playing a song by mouse on the software. Apr 19, 2015  this is a quick fix and the most working method of solutions on windows operating systems. If you are serious about djing on traktor, i highly recommend you to. Feb 26, 2015  The keyboard can be used in the same way as a midi controller with Traktor. There are a lot of keys to work with making it a great place to start creating a mapping. When you do pick up a controller the process is very similar to mapping the keyboard so you can quickly get started making a mapping with a controller.

In one of my recent articles, I demonstrated how to create a simple MIDI mapping in Traktor Pro. If you're ready to advance your mapping skills, let's learn to create two advanced mappings in Traktor.

Load and Sync

The first mapping that we'll create allows you to load and sync a track at the same time, and trigger both functions from a single button. This is a highly useful mapping if you're a digital DJ, who frequently uses the Sync function in your sets.

Start by opening Traktor Pro, and connect your controller to the computer.

Then, go to Traktor > Preferences and navigate to the Controller Manager Section.

In the Device Setup section, you can either choose to modify the mapping for an existing device, or create a new MIDI mapping by clicking:

Add (located under the Device) then Generic MIDI.

For demonstration purposes, I'll modifying the mapping for my Traktor Kontrol X1. In the Assignment Table Section, scroll down to Load Selected (Deck Common – Deck A) and click to highlight it. Alternatively, you could delete this original function in the Assignment Table, (by highlighting, and deleting it) and add a new one by clicking:

Add In, Deck Common, and scroll down to select Load Selected.

In the Device Mappings Section, click the Learn button (it will turn yellow when clicked), and press down on the button on your controller that you would like to map. I've chosen to map the left Load button to this function. Alternatively, you can also select the button by mouse clicking the box directly to the right of Learn.

After you are finished, click again on the yellow Learn button to deselect it.

In the Mapping Details section, select the following settings:

• Type of Controller: Button
  
• Interaction Mode: Trigger
  
• Assignment: Deck A
  

(Note: You may use another Deck; however you will have to set the next mapping to same deck)

Traktor Pro 2 Lighting Control Panel

In the Assignment table, find the Sync On function and highlight it, or click Add In, Deck Common and scroll down and click on Sync On.

In the Device Mappings Section, click the Learn button (it will turn yellow when clicked), and press down on the button on your controller that you would like to map. Choose the same button that you selected for the Load function. As you can see, I've mapped the same left Load button. Remember, you can also choose to select the button by mouse-clicking on the box to the right of Learn.

In the Mapping Details section, select the following settings:

• Type of Controller: Button
  
• Interaction Mode: Hold
  
• Assignment: Deck A

(Note: Make sure whichever Deck you choose is set to the same deck as the Load Selected function)

Lastly, in the Button Options section, click to the left of Invert to create a check mark in the box.

By clicking Invert, we have reversed when the Sync On feature is activated. Instead of Sync On being applied when the Load button is pressed down, Sync On is activated when the button is released.

Here's the way we have set up our mapping to work:

When we select a track and press down on the the Load button, the track is loaded up into Deck A. When we released the Load button, Sync On is activated. These two commands appear to happen simultaneously, and Sync On is never deactivated by loading tracks.

Test out your new mapping by clicking Close in the bottom of the Preferences window, and load up a track by clicking the Load button on your controller (or the button you have selected for the mapping). Your tracks should now Load and Sync at the same time!

To save your mapping, you can create a new .tsi file. Open the the Traktor Preferences, and click Export (in the lower left hand corner).

Make sure to leave following boxes are checked: Keyboard Mappings, Controller Mappings, and GUI Layout. You may wish to leave Effect Settings and Other Preferences and Settings Checked as well.

Save your .tsi file in a safe location, and close the Preferences window.

Single FX Mapping

The second mapping that we're going to create allows you to control your dry/wet FX Adjust, and select your FX using the same endless encoder.

Start by navigating to your Traktor Preferences, by clicking Traktor, then Preferences.

In the Effects Section, under the FX Panel Mode, set FX 1 to Single.

Navigate to the Controller Manager section, and in the Device Setup, choose your device or create a new one by clicking Add, then Generic MIDI.

We're going to be creating a Modifier, which allows you to map two or more functions to the same button.

Underneath the Assignment Table, click Add In, Modifier, then select Modifier #1.

In the Device Mappings section, click the Learn button so it turns yellow, and then select a pushable encoder button to assign the modifier to. Press down on the button on your controller, or mouse click in the box to the right of the Learn button. I have chosen to use left Load button.

In the Mapping Details section, select the following settings:

Traktor 2 Pro Download

• Type of Controller: Button
  
• Interaction Mode: Hold
  
• Assignment: Global
  

In the Button Options section, set the value to 1.

By setting the value to 1, this basically means when you hold down the button, Modifier #1 is turned on. When you are not pressing the button, the value returns to 0.

In the Assignment table, click Add In, F/X Unit and scroll down to select Dry/Wet Adjust.

In the Device Mapping section, click Learn and turn an endless encoder on your controller (or mouse click to select one). When you are finished, click the Learn button again to deselect it.

In the Mapping Details section, we now have to apply the Modifier. Studio one 4.5 3.

In the Modifier Conditions, set the Modifier to M1, and the Value to 0.

In the Mapping Details section, select the following settings:

• Type of Controller: Encoder
  
• Interaction Mode: Relative
  
• Assignment: FX Unit 1
  

Traktor Pro 2 Lighting Control Kit

In the Assignment table, click Add In, F/X Unit and scroll down to select Effect One Selector.

In the Device Mapping section, click Learn and turn the same endless encoder on your controller that you assigned to the Dry/Wet Adjust (or, mouse click to select one). When you are finished, click the Learn button again to deselect it.

In the Mapping Details section, under the Modifier Conditions, set your commands as follows:

• Modifier: M1
  
• Value: 1
  
• Type of Controller: Encoder
  
• Interaction Mode: Relative
  
• Assignment: FX Unit 1
  

Traktor Pro 2 Lighting Control System

Close the Preferences, and check to see if your new mapping works by turning the encoder you assigned. If you have successfully created your mapping correctly, you should be able to scroll through your D/W adjust when you turn the encoder, and scroll through your Traktor effects when you press and turn the encoder.

Export your mapping, by opening up the Preferences, clicking Export, and saving your .tsi file.

Congratulations on learning two new mappings! I hope you enjoy using them when you DJ.

Traktor Pro 2 Lighting Controller

• I have two Bose L1’s with a lighting bar attachment for two lights on each (out 7′ up) holding 4 60º 1x36w COB LED RGB lights.
  It’s a simple light set up with two aimed at the floor ant two on the ceiling.

  I’d like to control them with my iPad using TochOSC via QLC+ (which receives OSC and MIDI) and out a USB to DMX converter.

  I’m wondering, other than tempo, can I use Traktor to automate more of my lights? anyway to save MIDI with tracks like connected to CUES or performance buttons (Remix pads) or volume faders.

  Anyone exploring this area of light integration into Tractor? maybe Serato’s new ‘sequencing’ feature is relevant.

  The new MCX8000 controller has Stagelink option which (as Denon claims) later this year will offer options for the “consumer” to integrate video, lights and even pyrotechnics into their set. But that’s an aside.

  Strangely enough, sound to light option, while built in to most fixtures these days, are glaringly absent from a lot of hardware and software DMX solutions.

  I personally am not aware of any way that Traktor can accommodate linking something to an audio track that can be used to trigger midi signals suitable for conversion to DMX to fire of lighting FX.

  I’d be interested to know if any of our readers has more info/experience in this particular area.

  Now there are some solutions out there, but none that work directly with Traktor.
  Some require their own music player (which I hate with a fiery passion), so they are unusable usually.
  Now the ProDMX and Freestyler DMX software solutions have sound2light plug-ins that you can theoretically mount to midi signals. However I never got this to work. The only way I got this to work was if I attach those software solutions with a compatible USB2DMX controller with a Mic input and then feed the Mic signal to the software for adapting.
  Also there the “detection” algorithm is a little bit of hit and miss and honestly some sound2light modes from cheap fixtures work better 😛 And of course you need a laptop, the software and a DMX controller that is compatible. So way more cost intensive than what you want to do.

  I’m pretty sure you can get some of the way with this, at least as far as controls/performance buttons goes, but as far as I know don’t think you can save midi information with tracks as such, but there are other “events” that I think you might have some success with e.g. something like “loop on” etc.

  (Bear in mind this is theoretical – I haven’t done it (yet) and haven’t actually looked in Traktor myself to verify, so this is all semi-educated guessing)

  Anyway, basically it will come down to a custom mapping (or tweaking your existing one).

  – Create a mapping and set MIDI OUT PORT to your ipad (see the end about midi in)
  – Select “Add OUT” and choose the event from the drop down that seems appropriate
  – Then you’re going to have to fiddle a bit to work what the midi command is that QLC expects to trigger the light (or you might have to tell it to expect a specific note)… I’m not sure if the “Learn” function will correspond to the one on the control, or if you might even have some luck with it being sent from QLC. (you might even have to temporarily change the MIDI IN PORT to the ipad for that to work and change it back after)
  – you’ll get a few options popping up – set some values and see what happens!

  MIDI IN??? My first instinct was to tell you set this as your controller, assuming you’d be e.g. hitting a remix deck pad and having the colours change or something, but when I got as far as the “Learn” step I suddenly remembered that I think it would then want to transmit the same midi note that your controller sends to QLC, which might not work out – I don’t know if QLC has a set midi map or if you can customize/remap it. By using “None” or “Traktor Virtual” you may get access to the “events” and the same behavior without relying on the specific knobs. If you set MIDI IN to the ipad, it will be redundant as you’ll have to trigger the lights from the ipad, but by not doing that, I’m not sure that you’ll be able to use the “Learn” functionality, so setting it all up might be a bit tedious. I’m not sure if Traktor will behave well if you change the midi in port after you have done the mapping though.

  Happy experimenting – pretty sure this will get you on the path, evn if I’ve forgotten a few steps.

  Light controller software?… seems this is linked with Serato not Traktor in the video but I was just shown this site/video from a guy at the rockshop here. http://www.soundswitch.com

  it looks like you can control/program lights and perform…they are using Serato in the video. There is a DMX cable going from the hardware box and some like programming software on the screen??.

  I can’t see any social media and he said he has asked but doesn’t know anything more but they have that page up hmm. Very Very keen to have my lights linked to my songs/beat grid while I DJ if this is what it is.

  Ironically, I JUST finished my laborious conquer of DMX on Traktor/S8.
  …
  I hope to post a video soon. maybe in a week or so if there’s interest.

  Curious if I was on the right track with my post above, or if there were any notable differences. I’ve been out of the traktor “loop” for a bit and would be interesting to know what the options are, sort of thinking of wiping everything and setting it up again…

  Hi Caleb,
  How are things? I am about to embark on the DMX lighting concept with the Kontrol S4 and just wondered how you got on. Do you have any videos for what you have? Any info would be great! Thanks,Sinead
