    Hi All,

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with trying to assign midi control from my axiom49 to the remix decks.
    I am able to map all other aspects of TSP2.5, but for some reason I can't get the mappings to work for the remix decks. I am using the controller setup, and using the learn function etc.
    There doesn't seem to be any tutorials or documentation on the remix decks options.
    I can't even figure out which item is for triggering each slot.
    I can't afford to go out and buy the f1, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    just adding an image to show the area I'm trying to work with. Not sure what most of these mean, and there doesn't seem to be documentation within Traktor manual. Or I couldn't find it.

    I was under the impression that you could use a generic midi controller, you just didn't get to use all 64 slots.

    Does anyone have experience with this?

    Sorry, but I've tried mapping every single one of the remix options and nothing registers at all.
    The CTRL button flashes when I press a pad on the axiom 49, but it doesn't trigger anything.... not sure what I'm doing wrong?

    are you aware that the full functionality of the remix decks is only available with the F1?

    all other controllers (including all other NI controllers, btw) can only be mapped partially.
    basically all existing sample deck functions can still be mapped plus a few addidtions, but simply not all.

    have a read here for more info:

    p.s.: does defining the out-port (upper right corner in the prefs) make a difference?

    Hi DJ Freshfluke,

    Yes I read that online, and I can see the reason why. Unfortunately I don't have the funds right now for the f1. Saving up as we speak ;)

    I tried the out-port, it doesn't make a difference.
    I'm not getting any mapping at all, which I was surprised about, since I heard it was limited, but nothing works at all.

    It's odd, because I can map everything else, except the remix decks options.

    I will keep exploring my options, but I'm running out of ideas.
    If you find out anything more, please let me know.
    Thanks for your help!

    I will try and make a video this weekend on my iphone of what I am doing when I try to set it up the midi controller.

    That's a good idea, actually!

    I just got a message back from the tech support at NI. I had contacted them before I posted on here.
    Here was the reply with some sad news....

    Hello Darren Kirkness,

    Mapping for the Remix Decks at the moment are completely exclusive to the Kontrol
    F1 at the moment. There is absolutely no way to map any other controller.

    yes, please.

    sorry to say, but sean misses the point - plus, he's obviously not quite right.
    of course you can map the stuff you see in the respective mapping menus. you just cant map other stuff, e.g. switching pages. but this doesnt show up in the mapping menus. pls let me know the ticket number.

    hi!

    I didn't make a video, because I gave up due to Sean's response, and just saw your reply right now.

    I did however get to map the top 4 remix slots horizontally across, for the slot trigger mode. I'm guessing that is what they mean by the functionality of sample decks from tsp2.

    I still however can't seem to map the ability to play each slot. But I will dig deeper this week and see if I have missed something. I'm also going to see if I have the latest manual, since I can't find much info on the remix decks and midi control.

    Here is the ticket number... Ticket#2012072610008202

    forwarded your ticket.
    have a read in the traktorbible article i linked in one of my upper postings - it pretty much sums up everything.

    you're welcome. i forwarded the ticket and it was agreed that the answer you got was wrong. they'll take care of it and give the supporters a headsup, so this wont happen in future again.
