Traktor Kontrol Z2 4 Deck Mapping by Michael Wenz!

After many hours of reading and tweaking my Z2 I think I have come up with a decent 4 deck mapping to use with the Z2! This is a work in progress and I am hoping that posting on here might spark up some improvements to my TSI and save someone the painful experience of figuring out what works and what doesn't.

I will be making a full graphic description after some more testing but for now this TSI is version 1.0

Basically I was looking for a way to map Decks C & D to the channel section while in a Modified or Shift state. I have created 2 Modifiers for the "Flux" buttons. The Flux button on the left is M1 and the one on the right is M2.I had to create 2 modifiers cause there was a conflict. When I used "Shift" as a Modifier it over rides the "Knob Snap" function as described on page 16 of the Z2 Manual. If you have a better work around please let me know!

This is just a modified Default map... I tried to keep all the factory functions the same as much as possible.

Here is a description of my alterations and how to use them.
Holding Flux L (M1) changes the following controls for decks C&D on the Z2 surface (A becomes C & B Becomes D)
-Volume fader
-Gain
-Eq
-Filter control
-Load
-Rel/intl mode
-Loop size & Select Knob
-Deck Flavor for Deck C
-Sync on/off

Holding Flux R (M2)
-Move L and R (changes position when you scroll using the Act/Move function knobs)
-Deck Flavor for Deck D

This may not be the final mapping but I do believe it is a good start! The way I have it setup you can easily change to remix decks or track decks and the mapping stays the same. I will eventually have this mapping in conjunction with using the K2 as a Remix deck controller/ Effects Unit 3&4 (I think).... Please try it out and let me know if you have any input! I will make updates to this thread after I find some changes. Happy Mapping!

Many changes in the revisions I will be posting soon. Much easier!

 

looking forward to it

 

Have made great progress! The new mapping is far more simple and a better way to play 4 decks with or without turntables. The reason I got the mixer is I missed the turntables but love playing on my Vestax VCM600. Im kinda stuck Anyways I am well on my way to having a great 4 deck mapping that is very amazing. I am using the A/C B/D deck buttons as a modifier so whatever button is lit that is the deck you are controlling. Just got scratch control working with the 4 decks... I need like a good few un interrupted hours and this will be available to the masses!

 

Hi, thanks for your great work Michael. When I download from the above link, I get the version 2 tsi file, not version 3. When I load the tsi, it works, except when I control deck C filter or EQ, it also controls deck A. Same goes for D & B decks. Is there a fix for this? If I can get the decks C and D to work independently from decks A & B , this will make my year. Thank you

 

Hello, is it possible to have a new link to your map ? thx
