Macro Mapping to Midi - Controller

Post by signaltod » Sat Sep 16, 2017 8:26 am

Hey Folks,

is it possible to do the following?

Track 1 - Audio Effect Rack (AER) -> mapping the macro to Traktor Kontrol X1 Midi Controller using the 8 encoders
Track 2 - Audio Effect Rack (AER) -> also mapping the same encoders to this AER

Now when I use the encoder on an armed track, the mapped macro on both tracks will be change.
This is not what I want.

Question 1:
I want to map my X1 as standard, controlling the 8 Macros for all AER used in the project, but I only want to change the AER-macros on the selected / armed track. (like Push with the blue hand)
Is this possible?

Question 2:
I thought, I could map an AER and save it as standard preset, but the MIDI-Mapping is gone, after I add a new AER to a track.

Would be nice, if someone has a solution for that.

best
Stefan

It's called a Control Surface Script, you don't have one so direct MIDI Mapping won't work...

It's too early here to remember but theres a way of making your own configurable but simple one for any controller... User Remote Script or something?

Cheers
