Hi Everyone - this is a work in progress, but useable for two channels (A and B) in its current form. I have been using it in conjunction with an F1 for remix decks on channels C and D, and it works well with this setup. The Roland707m can map many functions of Traktor, and has some additional unique features for hybrid sets (built-in drum machine and oscillator). Also works with DVS
This initial mapping allows the following key features, and i have tried to keep the layout intuitive:
open the library view using 'back' button for channels a and b
select using select encoder, and load by pushing respective select encoder for each channel
play and pause, cue and sync for each channel
gain, eg and volume fade for each channel
crossfader
Shift + 'Vinyl' toggles from 'internal' playback to DVS (relative mode)
use of both filter fx and main fxs for all four channels,
mapping mic hardware volume and fx controls for main effects banks (works best for 'group of 3' fx banks
n.b. in Pro 4 these can also modify the pattern player if that is selected instead of an FX bank
using the primary 505 hardware fx encoder to modify filters for each channel (hold shift to access channels C and D)
Top four control pads - 4hot cues for channels a and b (shift and pad to delete a hot cue, except all initial track cues cannot be deleted)
bottom four control pads = autoloops (Shift and press for four more autoloops)
parameters -+ equal pitch bend (to beatmatch/bring into time)
turn jogwheel to scrub forward through a track
press down jogwheel and turn to scrub backwards
Tempo faders work for each channel
Any tips on the following greatly appreciated:
improving jogwheel performance ACHIEVED - Thanks to DJ SHAUN!
getting 'performance' pads to work without affecting hotcues etc (i think i know how i can do this, but currently using modifiers for fx selection controls)
colour outputs for performance pads.
Cheers

update - FX channel on/off toggle refined - Pressing shift on Channel 1/2 selects channel 3/4 respectively for both effects banks so all four now independent
A.Prep button reassigned (previously reset filter fx) to pattern player play/pause when this is selected in FX bank 1

Hi Zigo, If i understand you correctly, you want the eqs to behave in a separate manner in Traktor software, then with the hardware function? in midi mode i think the eqs can be used for any mappable function, and you can 'stack' functions to the same knob, for example if you press and hold a 'shift' button, the knob could be used to select between different filter fxs. I have done a similar mapping technique on the Z2. The problem with this is that a 'soft takeover' is need to reset the function for its original use (EG EQ) which doesn't always work and then can stuff up the eq blending. for something like eq's, which are critical to a smooth performance, i would not generally assign them a second function for this reason. one thing to remember is that if the mixer is set to 'external' mode it will bypass the software command, so maybe this would work? but i haven't tried it myself. Cheers BG
