Mapping Traktor: Global (Cross-Controller) Modifiers?

DabeDotCom

Maybe I'm missing something… Say I have two controllers: one with pads and one with knobs. Is it possible to make it so the pads on controller A act as global modifiers (Shift Keys) for the knobs on controller B?

Example:

• Knob 1: Deck A Volume
• Knob 1 + Pad 1: Deck B Volume

(PS — That's a very stupid example; please don't say, "Why not just assign Deck B Volume to Knob 2 instead?" My point is that I'm trying to figure out how to use the Pads on Controller A to affect the controls on Controller B *generally*; not this very specific configuration…)

Thanks! :-D

There is access to four 2bit 'modifiers', values of the Traktor GUI, that are both mappable and accessible (I/O) and usable as modifier conditions for assignments. These are the Remix Deck Page numbers. There is one for each deck, and you can use them (change the values, read the values), even if the deck in question is not set to be a Remix Deck.

So, if you don't use Remix Decks, or you use less than 4, you can have up to 4 cross-mapping modifiers with values between 1 and 4. You can encode two binary values in each one with an effort, to have up to 16 On/Off (or press/release) modifiers this way, enough to fill a 4x4 matrix of buttons with 16 different 'shift' buttons, usable with every mapping you load.
