possible to have X fader track start feature or midi map?

Gaspar74 · January 11

Im transitioning form Djay pro to Traktor pro 4 and Its been a learning curve. In some ways I prefer Djay pro for its IOS similiar usability simplicity. I have gotten used to also using the crossfader to mix in track, so as I hit the crossfader the track starts playing. I have an S2 MK3 is this doable>

Need more info about what the crossfader does exactly.

Id like to have the track start playing when I move the cross fader over slowly to the other deck.

Starts right away when you move it from the 0% (far-left) and 100% (far-right)

Deck A plays if the crossfader is anywhere in between value 0% and 99%.

Deck B plays if the crossfader is anywhere in between value 1% and 100%.

This could be done by mapping the Play/pause command to your crossfader - but first you need to map a global midi fader and then output the values via virtual midi cable into a secondary mapping device. This needs to be done because the crossfader won't accept button bype of controls in the default mapping.

Thank you, thats what I had started to sumize. So I could in essence use virtual midi device on mac to input the midi commands. I then what ? capture the commands of the play pause and feed that into the x fader?

I created something like this as a little QML exercise for the S3 a while ago.😋
Maybe you can do something with that

  property int xfader: 0

  AppProperty { path: "app.traktor.mixer.xfader.adjust";
     onValueChanged: {

     }
  }

That looks like what Im looking for. How do I go about using it is there a QML file I need to add this code to or over write etc? Im not super experienced at editing Mapping files. TY!!

pixel · January 12

upload your S2MK3Mixer.qml here🙂

edit: I made the code better again.
The decks only start at >5% or <95% xfader.

sorry for my bad english

Works exactly as i wanted.Now if this fader on the S2 MK3 want such a plasticy POS. Came from a old school Vestax VCI-1000 to this and aside from some newer tech the Vestax is a far better machine. Cheap feelig pitch fader and x faders. Oh well.

nice that it works as intended🙂

the software and the controllers are overrated, the main thing is that the speakers really pop😜😁

Gaspar74 · January 14

😎 Yes sir!. Seperate question. I have a DC power supply Im got for this however when I plug it in I cant tel it does anything. Is there an indication that it is working??

1.) disconnect the S2 from the usb port
2.) disconnect the S2 from DC power supply
3.) Hold down buttons [SYNC]+[KEYLOCK] (right deck), while holding down the buttons [SYNC]+[KEYLOCK], connect the controller to the DC power supply

If you start the setting "Adjusting the Jog Wheel Sensitivity" everything is good.

On the S3, all LEDs start in a small animation if there is no USB connection and I connect the DC power supply🙂

Is there a Mod to change the stock mixer effects to the ones in Traktor, aside from the 8 or so i can assign tothe 4 buttons? I know its seperate topic. ty

possible to have X fader track start feature or midi map?
