Numark 4TRAK Layer FX 3
Description and Instructions
Numark 4TRAK Layer FX 3.0 By JWiLL
*Requires Traktor Pro 2.6 and higher*
How it works
When in Layer FX mode effect parameters are controlled by platter, and strip
search gestures. Platter effects remain on while platter is held and are turned
off when platter is released. Touching the platter will override all other
effects including echo freeze and strip search effects. Cue juggling will also
kill the echo freeze, and strip search effects. All effects can still be
manipulated with original FX knobs, and buttons. Platter effects are available
on all 4 decks. This mapping requires the full version of Traktor Pro Software.
Differences between 2.0 and 3.0
In version 3 all native Traktor
platter mapping has been converted to MIDI. This improved
the control and quality of the platter fx. Also allowed for full platter fx on
all 4 decks without interrupting the play time or position of the track. All of
the standard 4TRAK functions are still there and have been re-mapped through
MIDI. The only downside to removing the native mapping is the tightness of the
scratching with the platters. Most of you downloading this style of mapping are
controllerists and shouldn't be affected by this change.

Hey. GREAT mappings ! One Question on the 4.1 Version. Is there now a way to switch between gater and beatmasher as in version 3 ? I need flux mode but also use very often the beatmasher :) so both would be perfect. like if you click assign, flux mode is activated AND gater switches to beatmasher. that would be awesome. or maybe its already there and im just blind

sry for doppelpost but another thing. my FX LEDs are not working. same as the MASTER LED volume thing :) what could be the reason for that ( only with your mappings )

Hi XRS! Thanks for the kind words! :) Shift+Platter = Seek Position was changed to a Zoom Deck, and Jog Turn for Beatgriding and setting the first grid maker. You can still scan through the track by pressing Shift+Search Strip. The command your looking for is Effect 1 Selector in FX Unit 3 for decks A & C. And Effect 1 Selector in FX Unit 4 for decks B & D. The comment is "Lofi Fader". You will have to change this in each deck mapping. Best of luck with it!

No worries. What's weird is my Scratch button is acting like the Shift button (On the map I think you had the SHIFT button as the shift). At any rate, that scroll feature is a God send; makes it a hell of a lot easier to zip through and load songs. Thx for the LoFi advice. You really do kick ass on these maps

They have been tested and working on the latest version of MAC OS X 10.8.2. What version of Traktor are you running? You will need atleast 2.6 for this map to work.
Brian almost 12 years ago
Im running traktor 2.6. with the numark 2.1.5 usb driver for the 4trak. Some of the buttons work and others don't. for the flux mode map. most of the buttons work and the lights do not.

Im using a Mac btw do you think you might have uploaded the Windows version on accident? if that even makes a difference
Brian almost 12 years ago
I am using a mac as well, and have had no issues importing this map. What you may want to try is going to the settings and under controller manager at the top where it says device you can delete the original maps by selecting each under the device tab and going to edit and delete, then simply go to the add and import and select the file. Not positive if that will work but its worth a try.

Hi Austin, I believe when I updated the mapping I created it in Traktor Pro 2.6 you may need to upgrade your Traktor software in order to import the mapping.
