Mapping MIDI Controller like a pro - Advanced

In our previous posts we discussed about the MIDI signals that a controller sends to Traktor, basics of controllerism, and finding what signal is sent by which button, slider or knob. In this post we will be talking it to the next level which is mapping the buttons/knobs/sliders/jog wheels of our controllers to custom Traktor functions. To show this we will map Jog Wheels to control Traktor Effects section, touching jog wheels will turn on all the three effects in Traktor FX section and rotating them in either direction will control the amount of those effects.

Later this series will contain articles on complete teardown of the sounds and effects used by Ean in the NI S2 demo video. Let us begin our first step toward ‘Controllerism’. For the sake of this tutorial I will be using Numark mixtrack as my controller and Traktor Pro as the mixing machine.

So lets take control of our controllers and step further into this art of controllerism! You could expect the following outcomes from this tutorial: Resetting your controller’s mapping in case if you mis-mapped someth
