DJ TechTools - Akai AMX All-In-One Traktor Mapping

We moved to a new shop! head over here to see what's new

Akai AMX All-In-One Traktor Mapping

Description and Instructions

Note before using the mapping: Line inputs and timecode only works with Serato. Also. If you are having issues with audio that's because you haven't properly configure your audio routing. This got nothing to do with the mapping itself so please don't give this mapping a thumb down because of your problems with Audio. If your controller's Audio Interface is not recognized by Traktor that could be because of many reasons. None of them is a mapping. Mapping is something that takes a lot of time to finalize and on top of all it's completely for free. At least you can do is to say thanks for someone's effort... Or if you really have a problem with the mapping then contact the author and tell them. Tell them so they can make a better product for you. If that author doesn't give any efforts to help you by fixing the mapping then give them a dislike as you should.

Ensure to run 2.7 or better to use this mapping.

Feature Content:

Double Deck Focus concept
Basic Transport controls
Three dedicated Shift buttons
Six Hotcues per each Deck
Browse and Load
FX Panel: 5 Instant effect presets per each deck
Super X-Fader

*Note on headphone CUE buttons: This buttons are hard coded in firmware, pressing first button "ON" will deactivate second button "OFF". Press both buttons simultaneously when you wish to preview both decks at once.

Description and Installation guides are included in the download package.

Please leave a comment if you need support. Also let me know if you have some ideas to improve this mapping. What do you like and what not, I'm always listening.

wow thanks great job! Just recieved today my new AMX and I'm so excited! is awesome. Gettin it ready to work on Traktor. I'm on Traktor 2.5 so I can't try your mapping, is not loading of course, need to find 2.7. Anyway just want to tell that for me both line input and timecode are working. I will manually map my own setup as usual so I don't really need to use a premapped setup, I came on this post cos I really can't understand how to map the output from Traktor meters to my AMX meters led strips (volumes lights to understand). Generally speaking, I can't find nowhere a AMX midi channels chart, and trying most probable channels I can't manage to send output to volumes meters led lights. I can map any knob, fader and button also mapping the output from traktor to get the button light on and off as I want, problemi is, I can't understand how to map the volumes meter led strips to listen Traktor midi output, both single volumes and master. Generally speaking, where can I find a midi channel chart for AMX? or better, is there any software tool to scan a midi device on all channels and listen to input, send output, maybe automatically, to know on which channel the led strips are listening to? even better, can you just tell me channel/note or whatever I have to map the volumes output from Traktor to make left, right, and master volumes led strip lights to work on my AMX as in the traktor interface. Many thanks if somebody have answer. Quite a pitty cos I really don't need it, I mean, I always have the interface mixer on the screen so is pure OCD madness by my side. :P bye, thanks and great job!

Please see line 433 and ff of this file. I have this documented there https://github.com/pestrela/music/blob/master/traktor/mapping_akai_amx/v1.0%20support%20files/AMX%20v1.0.1%20TP3_TP2%20-%20Technical%20Info.txt

Just Recently discovered this mapping for the amx. is it me or no matter how many times i tried installing this, Deck B & D are swapped? when i load a song on Deck A, it loads and all the mapping works great but when i try to load a song on deck B, it loads in Deck D and all the mapping also controls deck D. help or is theres a quick solution to fix / swap the channels without having to remap? thanks

Stewe over 1 year ago

Install the mapping > assign MIDI Ports > Press "LOAD 1" on CH.1 > Press "SYNC" on CH.2. Now you should be able to control decks A and B. Check the documentation JPG's..

dj_estrela about 2 years ago

Hi Stewe and All, I've now extended this EXCELENT mapping with a lot more functionality. It has 13x layers, dozens of FXs, hundreds of features, and it comes with 26-page manual: https://maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/9323

Stewe about 2 years ago

Armed to the teeth! Thanks for the update man, it looks awesome.

dj_estrela over 1 year ago

Cheers Stewe!

dj_Duff about 2 years ago

It doesn't work with Traktor PRO 3. In-Port and Out-Port are empty.. What should be modified to enable this mapping to work with Traktor Pro 3?

DJ Techtools about 2 years ago

Reinstall driver for your AMX should fix that. Traktor can not recognize the controller because of faulty drivers or Windows updates.

dj_Duff about 2 years ago

Yes! Thank you :) It is working like a charm! Any updates planned for Traktor PRO 3? For example, Traktor Pro 3 enables DVS support for any audio interface ===> and i was able to scratch using turntable with Traktor Timecode Vinyl connected to AMX.

Stewe about 2 years ago

Sadly I don't own AMX anymore to update this mapping for TPro 3. Sorry about that.

dj_estrela about 2 years ago

I'm now activelly working to finish my updated mappping of Stewe's work, updated to TP3 and with all kinds of new features. Yes, I tested DVS in TP3, and can confirm this is by far the cheapest and most complete way to unlock DVS today

Hi no matter how many times I try to install this I get the same problem, here are my steps. 1. Audio set up does not show just AMX, I have a few to choose from, I went for akai pro AMX asio 64. 2. Output routing is only offering 1 out 1, 2 out 2, 3 out 3 and 4 out 4. 3. after import of the two files, I see them appear under the old remap, but trying to use DJ Estrela's remap, they don't appear just a lit of loads of different AMX stuff but not the one mentioned in the instructions, please help!

Rob Suave over 2 years ago

Hey Stewe, So excited about this mapping... The AMX is designed the exactly how NI should have made a controller. None of their mini controllers units do all the basic things a DJ needs.. you need at least a couple of them to cover what AMX does. After a bit of newbie struggle, I've got the AMX working with your mapping. I'm almost at full functionality but have 2 critical issues.... Headphone cueing isn't working (no output to headphone jack) and crossfader has no functionality. I don't really care about the crossfader but really need the cue in the phones. I'm guessing the answer is in a setting in controller manager. I followed all your set-up instructions (which solved previous probs I'd had trying to set-up).... but kind of skipped over the "make sure all buttons are set to on" because I don't know to tell if they are on or not... does "in" mean on and "out" mean off in the I/O column of controller manager? Everything is "in" for Superfader, but for the "4 deck All In One" mapping some of the modifiers are set to "out". Any suggestions would be super appreciated. I'm trying to set up a more portable rig for travel for East Coast gigs.. I'm out of Boston but have been getting booked up and down Eastern Seaboard and my S4MK2 is a total pain to travel with. Whether you can help or not, thanks for all the hard in putting this mapping together!!!

Stewe over 2 years ago

You can solve both issues really easily. 1) Check your Output Routing in the preferences and set your "Monitor Output to channels 2 and 3 (or 3 and 4 cant remember exactly). 2) Set MIDI In-Port of the bottom mapping device to "Akai Amx". Let me know if you need more help with this, you can also reach out via my FB page called "Traktor Mappings)

Rob Suave over 2 years ago

Hey Stewe, Thanks for the help... Much Appreciated!! I've got the cue issue sorted out thanks to your suggestions. Still don't have any crossfader functionality but for the way I mix, not a huge problem. If you have any suggestions on that front I wouldn't mind solving that issue too just 'cause it should be working but not critical at all. Looking forward to explore your mapping in more depth now and rocking it on my travel gigs! (Had to drag my big ol' S4mkII all over NYC this past weekend!). Thanks again!

Stewe over 2 years ago

Good to hear! I don't have the AMX anymore but if I remember there was a switch function which is used to swap AB on the crossfader in Serato... Try both positions... Maybe I mapped it to disengage the crossfader on the one of those two positions.

Rob Suave over 2 years ago

There is a Xfade Rev off/on switch on the AMX but that doesn't seem to have any effect.. crossfader still doesn't work. Maybe I'll stumble across the solution one day.. but I'm ok without it. Used it for first time on a gig tonight and everything went well.. really happy to have this up and running!!! Thanks again Stewe for making this!!!

Hey Stewe! Once again, thank you for the mapping, I really appreciate it! So, besides all the good things of all these, I'm experiencing some trouble. I've noticed that the output volume is quite low, even when I use a mixer before sending the music to the speakers; the same with the headphones volume for mixing. I'm not sure if its because the soundcard of the AMX is not powerful enough, or if its because the soundcard of the AMX only works properly with the Serato, and the Traktor needs a native controller to have its soundcard performing at its best. The other issue is: lately I've been having problems with my output audio; the music suddenly stops playing for a few seconds, and it appears a red sign over the "Audio" (on top of the Traktor's screen), until it starts playing again. This didn't use to happen before, and I haven't changed any settings. By the way, I'm still using the v0.1.0, because besides that, everything is working properly, but I need to fix these issues before using it again on a party. Does the new version has something to do with this solutions? Hope you can help me Stewe! If you prefer, you can contact me by email: matias_ab@hotmail.com Cheers!! Matias

Stewe over 4 years ago

Traktor won't limit your audio signal on your AMX which is quite low comparing to other controllers...Grab one of Traktor Audio 2 and you will sort out audio issues.

Arcadio about 5 years ago

Hello,I have also got the AKAI AMX PRO working well under Traktor on PC Win7 but i cannot get the input lines-in on the AKAI to work. I would also appreciate simple step by step instructions for this.Or guidance how to solve it working under Traktor. Thanks in advance!

Stewe about 5 years ago

Input line only works with Serato, please check your manual next time.

Arcadio about 5 years ago

Thank you for the very rapid response. This is a real shame as I have installed Serrato on 3 different PCs and does not work. All I get is a black screen with some of the bits from Serato but nothing workable... Seems Im stuck with the AKAI with no possible line-phono input.

Stewe about 5 years ago

Sorry to hear bro. Have you try contacting Serato support?

Richard about 5 years ago

Do you have any digidesign drivers in your machine? Pro Tools ever been installed? That's what stopped my Serato working. Cleared them all out and it works a treat.

Arcadio about 5 years ago

Hi guys, thanks for the support. I have now managed to get the LINE INPUTS from the AMX to work on Traktor by setting Input Deck C to1:In 1 and 2:in 2 and Deck D to 3:in 3 and 4:in 4, and setting decks C and D to "Live Input". Although I have no play/pause, pithch or sync over what is playing on C and D inputs I can control volume and filters and can now route an mp3 player via the input lines of the AMX. So back to using Traktor Viva !!!

george berman about 5 years ago

i seem to have a problem with the audio mapping. My model is the "AKAI professional AMX" and when i go to the input routing it does now shoe up the AMX out choise. Am i doing something wrong?

DJYAYA over 5 years ago

Hello Stewe, Thanks for your efforts..really appreciated. However, I have experienced quite a few bugs after installing the mapping, hopefully you could guide me through it : 1. On the 1st time I ran it, I noticed that only the left faders\ knobs \ buttons responded- but they affected the right deck. The right deck on the controller didn't work at all. The Crossfader worked properly. 2. After restarting Traktor and reinstalling the mapping: Same problem , but vice versa- both the right and the left sides on the controller activate the Left deck (deck no. 1). Nothing is affecting the right deck. Apart from that, the mapping looks really simple and intuitive, so I'm really looking forward to getting that fixed and enjoying it fully. Thanks in advance, Yaara

Stewe over 5 years ago

Hi DJYAYA, This mapping is based on the two Deck Focus feature s which allows you to first select and then control your selected deck on both sides of the controller. Once the mapping is installed, you will notice that all 8 transport buttons in the middle sections are light up suggesting you to press one of them to select the deck target for left and right deck LOAD=A SYNC=B CUE=C PLAY=D. This is cool because with this kind of mapping I can create every possible combination of decks but only two at the time because obviously this is a two deck controller. I don't know why A/C and B/D deck switches are still industry standard today when it's pretty limiting... what if I want the control over decks A and C at one time? No can do. That's why I come up with this solution in my mappings.

DJYAYA over 5 years ago

Whoa! this is the fastest reply ever. Thanks for that. Assuming that I want to go traditional this time and use decks A+B simultaneously, how do I assign each "half" of the controller to only one and correlated deck? Thanks a lot.

Stewe over 5 years ago

Here is a quick vid showing how to assign deck before starting to use controls. Hopefully this helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB1QxUGkA0c

DJYAYA over 5 years ago

I will check it now, thanks so much!

Chris Mingioni over 5 years ago

got the crossfader to work but the EQ doesnt seem to be working. checked the description folder, but only saw info on the FX. how do i get the EQ to work?

Stewe over 5 years ago

You need to select your deck of choice on both sides of the controller before you can use mixer controls.
