RE-Mapping controls on the Traktor S-8

partofthepuzzle

Is it possible to re-map the controls on the Traktor S-8 in the same manner that as the S-4?

Specifically, I would like to re-map one of the FX knobs to Master Tempo. Some of my DJ routines require full 1 bpm stepping with one hand. The built in Tempo knob does .1 stepping which take much too long for my needs. It requires the Shift + Tempo for full 1 bpm stepping. That's a two handed effort and that doesn't work for me.

I would like to find a way to be able to map another knob to get the full 1 bpm stepping with one hand.

I hope this is clear. Thanks!!

Open the file '\Traktor Pro 3\Resources64\qml\CSI\S8\Mixer.qml' with notepad++

Go to line 11-12.

// Master Clock
MasterClock { name: "MasterTempo" }
Wire { from: "%surface%.mixer.tempo"; to: "MasterTempo.coarse"; enabled: shift }
Wire { from: "%surface%.mixer.tempo"; to: "MasterTempo.fine";  enabled: !shift }

Switch either '.coarse' with '.fine' or 'shift' with '!shift'. In the end, it should look like this:

// Master Clock
MasterClock { name: "MasterTempo" }
Wire { from: "%surface%.mixer.tempo"; to: "MasterTempo.fine"; enabled: shift }
Wire { from: "%surface%.mixer.tempo"; to: "MasterTempo.coarse";  enabled: !shift }

This way you will have 1bpm jumps using the tempo knob, or .01bpm while holding shift. The usual mapping doesn't provide discrete bpm steps, so this is the more elegant solution.
