Controlling sample deck's

With the previous version of traktor I used this (http://www.djtechtools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26573) excellent mapping for my launchpad.

I now want to rebuild this mapping with some additions for traktor 2, but I'm having some issues with the sample decks.

I want the play/stop button for each of the sample slots on my controller to act as a toggle button when the sample slot is in loop mode, but I want it to go into "hold" mode then the slot is on one-shot mode.

The only way I can come up with is to have a modifier for each deck that keeps track of the play mode of each sample slot. Since there are only 8 modifiers that would take up all of them if you intend to use 2 sample decks.

Anybody here with some ideas?

I have the same question regarding Maschine as the controller.

 

I didn't put my nose into it since the release of the S4 (so may be I am mistaken) but there are built-in modifiers for sample deck states that may be useful.

 

+1 also would be curious i have been fighting with my kontrol x1 to setup the sample banks want to use it exclusively for controlling the banks. i have a primary controller that i use everything else for would also like to be able to set the eq for thoose decks to be xone and use the rotarys to control the 4 however i doubt that would be possible.

Ideal situation would be have the hot cues work primary as record in record out for the sample banks then have the hot cues like they normally are when its lit. have the on 1 2 3 buttons next to rotarys control triggering the hot cue banks and then have the rotarys controlling gain hi mid lo for decks c and d... but i cant i can get some of the x1 to buttons to learn but not all of them and it will but it doesnt trigger. even after clearing out all controller settings and just trying to use the kontrol x1.


so anyone know how to unlock the x1 and have some in depth mapping info on the sample banks?

 

As far as I've been able to find out, the "slot state" modifier just indicates "empty / loaded / ?" where the ? is something i can't figure out. No use for this problem. It would be nice if there was a "slot playmode" modifier in the first software update. (hope the NI guys pick this up)

 

solution: add new generic midi device

Posted a solution here yesterday, can't find it anymore so I guess something went wrong.

Anyway: just add another "virtual" midi device to traktor wich you assign to the same surface. Voilà, 8 more modifiers to use. They don't interfere with the modifiers you user in your main mapping so now you can keep track of the play mode of each slot and assign your play button to either "play sample" in case of a loop or "trigger" a one shot

Unfortunately this trick doesn't work if you load a loop or oneshot from your library that changes the sample play mode, because the play mode will be changed but the modifier doesn't track that change.
