![]() Mapped To indicates the source (i.e., a MIDI note or CC coming from MASCHINE) for input Controls, and the target for output Controls. The Control column shows the assigned TRAKTOR action or function.Īssignment shows which section of TRAKTOR the Control refers to: Deck A-D, Global, FX Unit 1-4, Remix Deck 1-4 and Slots 1-4, or Device Target (ie, the Deck that has Focus, with an orange highlight on the Deck’s identifying letter: A, B, C, or D). ![]() You can add an input or output Control assignment with the “Add In…” and “Add Out…” buttons. Controls can also //send// MIDI back out – for example, to change the color of MASCHINE’s pads. Using this table, you can create so-called Controls that define which TRAKTOR functions respond to which input MIDI messages (ie, which MASCHINE pads, knobs and buttons). Ours doesn’t have any assignments yet, but if it did, it would look a bit like this: ![]() Now select the MASCHINE Device mapping again from the menu – its assignments populate the Assignment Table below, with each row representing one assignment. The Out-Port is where the Device sends MIDI to (mainly used for visual feedback like LED Pad lights and metering), so we set it to MASCHINE MK3 Virtual Output.īecause all Device mappings are active at once, it’s best to disable unused ones by setting their In-Port and Out-Port to None, to prevent accidental triggering. The In-Port defines where the Device is getting MIDI from, so for our “MASCHINE” mapping, we set it to MASCHINE MK3 Virtual Input. Click Add… > Generic MIDI in the Device section near the top, then Edit… > Edit Comment to name the mapping “MASCHINE”.īefore going any further, ensure the In-Ports and the Out-Ports in the Device Area at the top are set correctly for every Device. The Controller Manager is where you create, edit, load, import, and export controller mappings – it’s crucial to creating mappings, so let’s take a minute to understand it.Īt the top is the Device Setup area, where we manage all of our mappings, referred to in TRAKTOR as Devices. It’s resizeable, so go ahead and drag the window out to a comfortable size. In TRAKTOR, go to Preferences > Controller Manager. Make sure all of your controllers are plugged in and turned on. Now that we have all of MASCHINE’s controls pumping out unique MIDI messages, let’s blast off into TRAKTOR and hook the MIDI up to our Decks, FX, and more.
