MIDI Mapping Mute Buttons for Individual Tracks or Stems?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hey everyone,

Is there any way to MIDI map mute buttons for individual decks/tracks in Traktor — whether they’re regular tracks or Stems?

Specifically:

I'd love to map mute toggles for each of the four Stems (Drums, Bass, Synth, Vocals).
But even just being able to mute an entire Deck (A, B, C, D) via a controller button would be super useful.

Has anyone managed to create custom mappings or modifiers for this? Or is it just not possible in Traktor’s current architecture?

There are mapping commands. Deck Common→Submix for Stems and Remix slots. Volume/Mute, FX Insert/DryWet, Filter/Toggle. There are even OUT commands for meters.

Hey Thanks…!

How did you know that? I would have thought there would be a Stem Deck MIDI menu… how does one find that under sub mix…? ;-)

Also is the a Mute Command for regular tracks do you know?

Submix (Slot) Mute, and all the other submix assignments, only work for Stem Tracks, or Remix Slots.

Press 'Add In …' to pop up these menues to add assignments to any mapping selected in the 'Device' dropdown menu.

How did i know? ^^

Every new version i check all the possible assignments to see if NI has rearranged the ordering again or added something new, which i then test right away. TP4 added a couple of beatgrid assignments, for example.

You can mute a whole deck by using the Volume Fader as a switch. You can add this to a button as a toggle for regular MIDI controllers or keyboards (doesn't work on the newest NI controller buttons), set the resolution to 'switch'. There's your mute button. :)
