Traktor Mapping Roland DJ707m 2.0
Description and Instructions
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
Problem downloading or other issues? Let us know on the forum.

Hey Brothergrinn
Can't for the life of me figure out how to Sync the TR Drum Machine

Hi Shaun - My understanding of the TR Drum Machine is that it is essentially a standalone hardware unit built into the DJ707m . It doesn't sync to the decks in Traktor (or for that matter in Native Serato function). Instead, you treat it as a 'live input' deck and you select the beat pattern via the library encoder. You can manually adjust the pitch with the tempo fader, and nudge with the jogwheel to beatmatch via ear. It takes a little getting used to, but it complements the pattern player well in this function, and i use deck 4 for the remix decks (of the DJ707m oscillator!). What is cool is that all the Traktor FX will work on the drum machine and the oscillator if they are selected as live inputs. this is great for Hybrid creative play. Cheers BG
