    Hi there guys! I have done a mapping for the AKAI LPD8 for Traktor Scratch Duo - it was made at first when i was unable to find any stocks of the Kontrol X1, out of frustration i was like "Ah wtf, i'll just do a custom mapping on my lpd8 for now" and ended up really liking it so much that im thinking twice to get the X1 now hahaha , anyhow here they are!

    First thing you need to do is to put a sticker or a label on the KNOB 8 of your AKAI LPD8 - (Thats the bottom right corner knob )This knob is important coz its going to control the deck focus between Deck A/B (Thus allowing this amazing tiny controller to easily control TWO decks without much confusion - once you get used to it!)

    Program 1 is designed to be used with an external mixer - it has playback controls, pitch controls, looping, hotcues, effects, filters, etc - the whole lot - I mix with timecode vinyls/cdjs and sumtimes i would find some very dodgy decks (or cdjs with damaged lens!) in the clubs - with this mode you can control both decks A and B SOLELY with the LPD8 (and using the clubs mixer externally for the EQ/Faders/Cueing etc)

    Program 2 is designed to accompany a DVS setup - if you use timecode you dont need the playback controls/pitch etc - this mode gives you full 8 hotcues for both decks and also looping and filters pluS the ever-useful BEATJUMPS - My fav part! These are very useful for Extending/Shortening Intros or Outros on-the-fly - choose from beatjump 32beats or with shift: 4beats

    Took me a very long time to finally come up with a mapping that i could actually use very often, not confusing (we all hate to press the wrong button - this mapping is designed to be as simple as possible and easy to get used to) Any comments or feedbacks appreciated! Im constantly trying to improve this mapping to make it better and better - if you got any ideas for PROGRAM 3/4 or how to improve the current programs 1/2 please post here!



    ZILCHIE's Akai LPD8 TSI for Traktor Scratch Duo mapping V.1.00
    (made on traktor scratch duo 1.2.5 - Tested on 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 )



    NOTE: This was made on and for Traktor Scratch Duo/Duo, but i suppose you CAN use it with Traktor Scratch Pro/Pro - not tested yet
    you must set FX Bank1 to deck A and FX Bank 2 to deck B and turn them on permanently tho (In duo this is done by default - thats why!)

    Upcoming version might be made separately for Traktor Pro/Scratch Pro (maybe)

    How to use:
    1. Open the Akai LPD8 EDITOR and Load the AkaiLPD8 File provided
    2. Backup all your previous settings in traktor before importing the included TSI
    3, Load the ZILCH_LPD8_V100.tsi from traktor
    4. Test- everything works?
    5. ENJOY! :)
