novation nocturn with traktor pro

I got a Novation Nocturn to control effects and for using the filter with Traktor Pro.

I play in a club with quite limited space and thought it was perfectly sized and exactly what i needed.

For some reason when i run automap it is reading the midi signal but traktor is not and it just freezes every time.

I'm running it on a brand new macbook with 4gb of ram and i use the control vinyl for djing.

I have done this;



As Traktor is not supported by Automap Universal, the ‘learn’ button on the Nocturn will not learn parameters in Traktor. You’ll need to create a Midi Client and use Traktor’s own learn system to assign parameters to control.

Make sure you are using the latest version of Automap Universal and Traktor.

To create a Midi Client, set the MIDI input and output ports for the Automap MIDI Client to ‘Automap MIDI’‚ in the Automap settings menu.

Activate MIDI channel(s) from the Automap settings menu and select the newly added MIDI control map from the Browser View of the Automap Universal window by pressing the ‘User’ button.

In Traktor Preferences > Hotkey & Midi Setup > Midi Interfaces, make sure the ‘Automap Midi’ is active for the midi in and midi out ports. A cross next to it denotes that is active.

Then go to Preferences > Hotkey & Midi Setup > Midi Setup, click ‘Add’, then select a parameter.



But once i get to this point it either doesnt read the midi signal therefore rendering the learn button useless or else it freezes and i have to do a forced re-start.

So I havent got to the rest of the article;



Click the ‘Learn’ button in Traktor and move a control on the Nocturn. Press ‘Learn’ again in Traktor when you finished learning. You can freely adjust the settings in that page according to your own preferences.

You can also rename parameter names on the Nocturn GUI as well.



Anybody had similar problems or can offer me some advice? I have a few big support slots coming up and desperately need to get this working.

 

Phil,

Have you got the latest version of automap (v3). And have you tried a different USB port and a different cable?
