When non stem track is loaded
- Nothing at this moment. Wait for the ideas
Mixer
- Sweep FX - Mixer FX. Choose your favorite in Traktor Settings. Every FX can be turned off
- Channel VU-Meters - works almost good, but dynamic is not best. Anyway - it works
- Master VU-Meters - works almost good, but dynamic is not best. Anyway - it works
BPM FX
It assigned to FX Unit 4 in group mode. Works only first FX slot
- Select encoder - select FX
- Channel Assign Switch - in all position except 3 - assign FX unit 4 to all decks. Kinda master FX. In position 3 - “deassign” FX Unit 4 from all decks. **
- For assign FX Unit 4 to only needed decks use Shift + > (Button to the right to Pad Mode buttons)
- Amount - Dry/Wet
- BIG BLUE BUTTON - FX On(Button 1 in Group Mode)
To use this mapping you need to import it in Controller Manager settings. I thing you will need to check Effect Settings in import settings parameters
After mapping import check IN and OUT port for all 4 mappings parts.
And do not forget about audio setup
If there will no Beatmasher 2 FX in Roll mode probably you will need to manualy setup this FX in mapping: Choose Device - Denon SC Live 4 VT LEFT PADS. Go to mapping table, sort it by comment column, find Roll Beatmasher Deck A comments. Choose Effect 1 Selector among them and then choose Beatmasher 2 in Set to Value field.
Repeat for deck C in this part. Then go to Device - Denon SC Live 4 VT RIGHT PADS and do all for deck B and D
At this moment i don’t test inputs of the SC Live 4 and don’t map their knobs. Will do it later.
There is one problem that i can’t solve at the moment - channel fader in Traktor Pro always up on startup regardless of the position of real faders on the SC Live 4. It needed to move each fader a little to make Traktor see real position.
Test this mapping! Push the buttons, move the faders, turn the encoders, look up for bugs I would be grateful for feedback and new ideas.
