TP/TSP 2 "XoneEx" Configuration (v2.6.1.5)

BIBLE COMP WINNER 4-band EQ (or 3-band), up to 4 Remix Decks (or other flavors), 2 or 4 FX. For use with an S4 controller and extended keyboard. Designed to ease your performances and help prevent mistakes. Tested, comprehensive, and easier to remember. Visual Mapping Guides are included - fully documented.

6.5.2013 – This release addressed difficulties I've had with technical mistakes during performances. There was nothing wrong in the mappings per se, but I wanted more fault-tolerance against mistakes, as well as better visual output. As a result, because I was activating kills on the knobs by mistake, and not noticing it, I deactivated the in-place kills on S4 EQ knobs. These can now be activated by buttons. The mapping kluge for the knob kills is preserved; use the comments for these entries to reactivate them, by changing a modifier. In addition, the Volume level on the channel faders is no longer soft takeover, when used with No Shift+, as the former mapping with soft takeover showed a tendency to drift away from the current setting, and then no longer work when it was needed. Use Same Side Shift+ if you need to set volume after moving the volume fader to set something else, such as Slot Volume or Filter. The above changes, plus some earlier entries, support a new concept for S4 "mix check", on Opp Shift+. Pressing either shift key displays the state of various deck settings affecting the mix, including Filter On, actual volume, and EQ Kill states, on the opposite side deck. On S4 added four additional FX Favorites for FX1; these are accessible for both Single and Group mode Effects Units. Each of the 4 units now has 6 FX1 favorites; these are named e.g. FX1 Fav, FX1 Alt-1 Fav, FX1 Alt-2 Fav, FX1 Alt-3 Fav, etc.; variations of these names are used in the documentation and mapping entry comments. These mappings match the effects ordering for ease of remembering (under preferences for Effects> FX Pre-Selection). However the mappings are to specific effects, so unfortunately you cannot change which effects are Favorite just by reordering them. The complete ordering of mapped FX Favorites (from the top of the Pre-Selection list is: FX1, FX2, FX3, FX1 Alt-1, FX1 Alt-2, FX1 Alt-3, FX1 Alt-4, FX1 Alt-5. 5.15.2013 – Added Keyboard Loop Recorder Dry/Wet on Numpad Plus/Minus/Enter. Added alternative Alt+Ctrl+F1-F8 for Opp Deck Slot Retrigger (consistent with other Opp Deck commands); these commands also work with Ctrl+Shift+. Revised AutoHotkey script for a+c+F4 to a+c+F12. Play Mode (M2=0) is now enforced on appropriate Keyboard entries. Added and changed Monitor Mix controls on S4 Loop Recorder Size, Delete, and Dry/Wet. Added S4 Filter On In/Out on Opp Shift (remains on Same Shift). Changes and corrections to documentation.

isuru.kuruppu wrote on May 22, 2011 at 11:13 If I were to implement this mapping. Is it still in NHL mode ? Also other than for the deck filter being changed to Low EQ are there any other changes to the S4 default mapping. I just got my S4 and currently testing it out to make sure everythigs
	djdunkle replies I'm not sure if you were having some sort of a problem, if so let me know what it is. It looks to me that for a User-only mode mapping of the S4, there is some other kind of singaling going on, for example it's not possible to map an output into the loop

isuru.kuruppu wrote on May 22, 2011 at 11:15 everything's ok before implementing any mapping changes. So would be grateful if there's anyone who's been able to get the 4band eq working without ANY issues. Thanks
	djdunkle replies The 4 band should work OK, it's mapped to the normal 3 knobs for high, low, midlow, and to the filter knobs for low. Hold shift and turn the filter knob if you want to actually set the filter. There is a soft takeover on low and filter so you can do this,

djdunkle wrote on May 23, 2011 at 19:39 It's not possible to map an output to the loop size indicators. It could be that NI just didn't include this in the mapping editor (so the editor is the issue), but I suspect that the actual signals differ.

djdunkle wrote on May 23, 2011 at 19:41 Hopefully NI will make the full range of what's done in the Default mappin mode available to User-only mappings, and soon!

djdunkle wrote on May 23, 2011 at 19:42 I note that I'm nearly complete with the visual guides to the mappings, and will be making changes to the keyboard mapping that should be easier to learn. Thanks everyone for your support! ~Dan

djdunkle wrote on June 6, 2011 at 06:01 I have finally completed the visual mapping guides, and made numerous improvements to the mappings themselves. Please take a look and let me know what you think!

djdunkle wrote on June 8, 2011 at 20:32 New release v2.0.2.1 just uploaded! I've made substantial additions and improvements, please give it a look and let me know what you think. ~Dan

sullrich wrote on June 8, 2011 at 21:53 This is a seriously sweet mapping and could not have come at a better time! I just imported TSP2S4Controller4Band2.0.2.1GA.tsi using the big fat import button and everything "just works"! Many thanks and kudos!

djdunkle wrote on June 8, 2011 at 23:03 I'm really glad to hear it thanks! Stay tuned for further updates. ~Dan

djdunkle wrote on June 9, 2011 at 09:30 I note that in testing our the 2.0.0.1 verrsion, I found a few bugs to iron out, and some minor changes for better ease of use. Look for a new release soon! ~ Dan - Metacue

djdunkle wrote on June 9, 2011 at 23:52 In record time, the latest update to 2.0.2.2 is done! A few tweaks and things are much better. I look forward to your feedback. ~ Metacue

djdunkle wrote on June 10, 2011 at 10:20 Still a couple of bugs left in browse mode, now fixed,. I will upload soon.

djdunkle wrote on June 11, 2011 at 03:21 I've worked out a 4 Sample Deck mapping for the extended keyboard, and will include this in the next release. The S4 can be mapped for this as well, though it's going to take awhile, ~100 new or changed entries!

djdunkle wrote on June 12, 2011 at 04:03 The 2.0.2.3 release is here! 4 Sample D3cks are now supported, have fun!

djdunkle wrote on June 12, 2011 at 23:59 Minor documentation changes uploaded today, no change in the Configuration.

djdunkle wrote on June 20, 2011 at 08:26 Look for a new release very soon! Bug fixes, some additional commands, and revised treatment for Sample Decks.

djdunkle wrote on June 20, 2011 at 19:37 The next release has been published, and includes some useful changes in Sample Deck behavior. ~Meta

djdunkle wrote on June 22, 2011 at 02:04 Big apologies for some issue that emerged with the most recent released, fixed up nicely in this one. ~Meta

djdunkle wrote on June 22, 2011 at 22:51 I'm working on a solution that will fit better for both 2- and 4-Sample deck arrangements, and with a few other improvements. Stay tuned for the next release. ~Meta

sullrich wrote on June 24, 2011 at 19:42 Wow you have been busy! I'll download the latest and give it a spin this weekend.
	djdunkle replies Thanks, I hope it works well for you! ~Meta

djdunkle wrote on June 27, 2011 at 18:50 I have just published the next update, which puts Sample Play controls on the opposite deck (for 2 Track + 2 Sample arrangements) whilst keeping other Sample controls on the same deck. I hope you like it. ~Meta

djdunkle wrote on June 30, 2011 at 20:25 My working version of the mapping now adds Slot State output for when you are loading samples (when the shift keys are pressed to load from list or clear you will see the status of the CURRENT deck). I am holding off on uploading this since there is a new

djdunkle wrote on July 1, 2011 at 20:34 Updated for 2.0.3 product release.

sullrich wrote on July 11, 2011 at 23:37 The latest mapping seems to be OK. One thing that I miss a bit is the high resolution jogs but I understand this is a Traktor issue. However is there anything that can be done to make the jogs a bit more sensitive?
	djdunkle replies It;s true that a USer mapping can't access the DEvice I/O layer which is used to provide the hi-res Jog, LED Loop Size, and probably some other functions. You can change the calibration and acceleration of the individual command mappings if you want the J

djdunkle wrote on July 12, 2011 at 01:55 Jogs to be more or less sensitive.

sullrich wrote on July 13, 2011 at 20:12 Hi do you have any pointers on how to change the individual command mappings? Do I need to edit the TSI file and if so which fields would I want to edit? Thanks for all you're hard work on this mapping, I love it!
	djdunkle replies Glad you found it helpful! I'm not sure if your familiar with the basics of mapping edits, you start with the Preferences > Controller Manager.

sullrich wrote on July 15, 2011 at 18:00 Yes I am familiar with the controller manager. I took a look last night again and I could not figure out what needed to be done. I added the Jog seek / scratch setting and it did not have any effect at all (I could not use the learn feature to associate

sullrich wrote on July 15, 2011 at 18:08 Oh I just figured it out! "Seek position" was what was needed. Adjusted the acceleration and now I am happy!
	djdunkle replies Great, glad that worked out. ~Meta

djdunkle wrote on September 23, 2011 at 02:35 I will be publishing an update for the latest Traktor 2.1.1 release shortly. It looks like the main differences will be the renaming / removal of some of the sample-related commands. Stay tuned!

sullrich wrote on September 23, 2011 at 20:41 It seems the "Seek position" is no longer working in the mapping. When a track is playing I can no longer alter the phase,etc. Anyone else seeing this?

sullrich wrote on September 23, 2011 at 20:42 PS: Not working in 2.1.1 update is what I meant.
	djdunkle replies That's what I would expect, since the Jog commands have been changed. It looks like the Seek mapping was not transferred and will need to be reset with the new "Jog Turn" commnad, or else something similar. I will also want to pick up the slot-specific co

djdunkle wrote on September 24, 2011 at 01:05 commands for Keylock,FX Enable and Headphone Cueing.

djdunkle wrote on October 3, 2011 at 09:34 In v2.1.1 there were a number of odd changes to commands, and it's taking awhile to understand what they are (as well as how they should be mapped). Please stay tuned for more information, and an update to the mappings soon. ~Meta

djdunkle wrote on October 11, 2011 at 10:41 I'm so glad to have a new configuration release after a long effort. The 2.1.1 release is far from perfect, but there have been some good improvements. Look for another update to the configuration that will add in the three new sample slot-specific comman

djdunkle wrote on October 12, 2011 at 08:46 Added minor refinements to the 2.1.1.0 release, mostly a rework of the keyboard mapping for better consistency.

djdunkle wrote on October 13, 2011 at 09:32 Added mapping for new Slot-specific commands: Slot Keylock, FX Enable, and Monitor Cue!

djdunkle wrote on October 14, 2011 at 09:52 And yet one more update to finish off a few loose ends, enjoy! ~Meta

sullrich wrote on October 23, 2011 at 22:33 I am playing around with the latest mapping but the right jog wheel when two tracks are playing is acting a bit strange. I can move the phase sync to the right but when I turn the jog to the left the phase still goes to the right. IE: I cannot move the
	djdunkle replies Were you having a problem with the Tempo Bend (no shift) commmand, or with Jog Turn (opposite shift)?

sullrich wrote on October 23, 2011 at 22:34 phase of the left jog wheel. Any ideas?
	djdunkle replies Thanks for pointing that out, I will take a look and post any findings. ~Cheers, Meta

djdunkle wrote on October 29, 2011 at 20:32 Just following up that there was in fact an error on the Tempo Bend settings, corrected in the current release. Thanks again for pointing it out. ~Meta

djdunkle wrote on October 31, 2011 at 17:02 Also a small error in the Loop Move Mode for S4, corrected. ~Meta

djdunkle wrote on November 1, 2011 at 21:05 I have made a few "stealth updates" in the 2.1.1.5Xb release (as described here). Nothing major, but you might want to changeover. ~Meta

sullrich wrote on November 3, 2011 at 18:08 New update is working great! Thanks!!
	djdunkle replies Awesome, glad to hear it!

sullrich wrote on December 5, 2011 at 23:35 Ever since Traktor 2.1 this mapping lags extremely bad on the jogs. 2.0.3 works perfectly. 2.1.2 also has the major lag. Anyone else seeing that?
	djdunkle replies Interesting, I hadn;t noticed anything remarkable on 2.1.1, have not tried 2.1.2. If there is any diofference then it seems most likely related to the S/W not the mapping. I note that with a User-defined mapping you can;t access the hi-res functionality o

sullrich wrote on December 6, 2011 at 23:48 Yeah I understand the high resolution part and its probably a traktor bug - just wanted to check to see if anyone else is hitting it. NI just double checked the part of the mapping and it seems ok (jog touch) so we are going to open a bug report against

sullrich wrote on December 6, 2011 at 23:49 2.1.X

sullrich wrote on December 6, 2011 at 23:55 There where a couple bugs filed for this issue - if you are using 2.1.X and have a few minutes call NI support and ask that the "relevance" be bumped a bit so we can get this on the developer radar sooner than later.
	djdunkle replies Thanks for the suggestion, I will keep my eyes on this one. ~Cheers

djdunkle wrote on October 19, 2012 at 08:46 After a major effort, I have mapped the new features and changes brought in with the 2.5.1 release. Enjoy!

djdunkle wrote on December 29, 2012 at 23:11 Remind me to jump off a bridge if I ever try to put so much work into a mapping again! Seriously, I think 2.6.0.0 is the best yet, and hope you enjoy it. ~Meta
