nanoPAD2 XY Pad MAX/MSP Patch! Calling all Max for Live Programmers

Since the day MidiFighter 3D was launched. We have been working really hard to match its capabilities with our nanoPAD2's. As you already know we covered most of the controls available on MF3D to be emulated by nanoPAD. As seen from our earlier post blah blah Now we are thinking it to take a level further by expanding nanoPAD2's capability to control multiple parameters using the existing available controls. This can be easily done using software capabilities. We have been trying on various software to get this capability but according to us the best possible way to achieve this is using MAX/MSP for Live (M4L). We tried to work on a patch that would allow user to emulate nanoPAD2's XY pad to send four signals instead of just two thus to simulate MF3D motion signals for forward, backward, left and right. But since we are really new into scripting for M4L we are really looking forward to get some help from community. So if any of you know someone that can work on...

MidiFighter 3D routine on nanoPAD2

We always find the new technology fascinating, it makes us want everything upcoming; all we do is keep wanting it and forget to use what we already have. Same is the case with recently released MidiFighter 3D. It looks do amazing and more over it provides controls so amazing that no other controller in the market provides. But we are nanoPAD2 fans! we like to push it to the limits, control everything the way new controllers do. nanoPAD2! No it isn’t dead yet its capable of doing so much more than what you already use it for doing. First we have shown you operate you nanoPAD at par with Midi Fighter using Midifighter Classic mappings and the Instant Gratification mapping on Traktor. Now it’s time to take it to a level further by using it to build and control your music in Ableton Live. For those of you who don’t know about MidiFighter 3D, it allows you to take controllerism to the next level by introducing accelerometer and gyroscope into a midi controller. It allows one to move mi...

Turn your keyboard into a MidiFighter (MIDI device)

When we were first trying to port the Midi Fighter mapping onto nanoPAD2, we also thought of porting that mapping for users who do not have any midi controller at all. So our quest began with solely two purposes; First: How can we turn our keyboard into a MIDI device so that it can do all possible things that can be done via other midi controllers and Second: Porting a solid Traktor mapping onto keyboard to showcase the power of this thought. While trying to work on this thought of ours, we tried and tested various software both paid and free for finding the one with most options and compatibility to work with. And finally in this post we will be discussing results of our quest for using keyboard as a Midi Controller. In order to showcase our experiment we will be showing you how you can turn your keyboard into a Midi Device, and that too not just any other midi device, a Midi Fighter! So after going through this post you will be able to use your keyboard to create amazing sounds effe...

Instant Gratification with nanoPAD2

Want to create magic with your nanoPAD2, then this is the mapping you should be using. It enhances your nanoPAD2 performance with really spicy effects build ups. And on top of that these mappings also allows you to use your nanoPAD2 as a companion to any other DJ controller you already have. Read on to know more details and layout and then download the mappings to experience total control over the music you play! If you are reading this you must have seen Ean Golden perform with his super cool Midi Fighter. And it make a great companion to your existing DJ gear. But what if you don't have a Midi Fighter to play with? Answer is simple, use what you already have to work exactly same as Midi Fighter does. Since nanoPAD2s are pretty cool to use and are cheap to buy also, we thought of doing mappings for it so that all the Midi Fighter stuff can be done on the pads. Although it doesn't quiet feel like that awesome 16 arcade button controller - The Midi Fighter, but its a kind ...

MidiFighter Classic Mappings for nanoPAD2

Love Ean Golden performing on his Midi Fighter, now you too can achieve the same magic on your nanoPAD2. Check out the layout and download the classic Midi Fighter mappings for your nanoPAD2 for free. Midi Fighter is an awesome controller, and the arcade buttons make it super easy to work with. But we don’t have one. Instead we have a nanoPAD2 which is also pretty good. Since Midi Fighter has 16 buttons and nanoPAD2 too has 16 buttons we thought of porting the midi fighter classic mapping onto the nanoPAD2. BTW The credit for this mapping goes to Ean Golden, he really created a masterpiece. The Layout The original Midi Fighter has four rows of four buttons (4 x 4) and nanoPAD2 has two rows  of eight buttons each (2 x 8). We shifted the mapping as shown above. So now the what we have is, the effect and play settings on the left side of the nanoPAD2 and Cue points on the right side of it. This allows you to play it with both the hands if you want to. The mappings The map...

nanoPAD2 Beat Juggling + Mappings

Catch the video performance inspired from Ean Golden's 'We will rock You' beat juggle on the orignal nanoPAD. We took it further on nanoPAD 2. Find the mappings as well as the video in this post! The mappings are really simple to understand: 1st seven buttons of the top row are cue points from 1 to 7 for Deck A 1st seven buttons of the bottom row are cue point from 1 to 7 for Deck B X-Y pad controls the effects in FX group 2 that applies to Deck B Last buttons on both rows are play buttons.

Mapping MIDI Controller Like a Pro Advanced – 2

Till now we have successfully learned how to delete existing mappings, find MIDI messages that out controllers send to Traktor, adding custom mappings and using modifiers. If you are reading this for the first time we request you to please go through the following set of posts in order to fully understand this post and get it working. Understand the outcome we are trying to achieve by custom mapping – Ean Golden's NI S2 mappings applied onto Numark Mixtrack Finding MIDI signals and deleting them in order to remap our controllers – Mapping MIDI controller like a Pro - Basics  Mapping the buttons/knobs/sliders/jog wheels of our controllers to custom Traktor functions - Mapping MIDI Controller Like a Pro Advanced Controlling effect amount with Jog Wheels In Traktor click on File > Controller Manager. This will open up the Traktor preferences window with controller manager options. Then click on the device tab and select the controller you want to configure from the list. Her...

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. This post assume that you have read,understood, and performed all the steps mentioned in our previous posts. If not we recommend you to go through the following first, before beginning the steps described here.

Mapping MIDI controller like a pro - Basics

This is the second post in the Ean Golden’s NI S2 tricks applied onto Numark Mixtrack article series. It will show you how to map your existing midi controller just like Ean Golden’s breaking the silence video. You’ll not only learn just the mapping but how to actually achieve same sounds as Ean did. 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. But the steps given in this tutorial are universally applicable for any midi controller. Please plug in your controller and fire up Traktor and then proceed with the given steps. 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...
