Sujet Two Traktor Kontrol F1 "fighting" each other's mapping, possible to resolve ?
Hi guys,

I repurposed two Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1 units and mapped them with VDJ. I made one F1 control Deck 1 and the other control Deck 2, using custom mappings (stems, effects, and other things...) I also took care of giving them different names in NI's Controller Editor (They are called F1-1 & F1-2).

My mappings work fine, until I disconnect a F1 from VDJ... When I plug it back, it *may* end up pulling the mapping of the other one. I then need to go into Settings / Mapping, select one random F1 (they carry the same name in VDJ so hard to know which is which) and try to swap the mapping, until I figure it out.

Troubleshooting: Instead of two individual mappings, I also tried to create a custom "universal" F1 mapping, then specify "Deck 1" & "Deck 2" in VDJ's mapping section, but same issue happens. If I move a F1 around (disconnect, USB port change, anything..), they *may* both end up on the same deck, so I still need to go back in settings and change the deck assignment.

Am I missing something ? Is this happening because they share the exact same device name in VDJ ? If so, is there a workaround ?

There may be a more clever way to do this. (would love to learn if there is)


I have 3 Launchpad Mini MK3s each with different mappings.

As you say if I disconnect them and reconnect them randomly, the mapping will be randomly assigned.

I either need to connect them in a specific order, or restart VDJ (the later is easier) to have each mapping assigned correctly.B


Summary:
Restarting VDJ should resolve the issue.
(as you are not disconnecting controllers during a gig)

Sorry, that I can not help you here. But I have two F1s as well and I am really interested in the mapping you did for yours. Do you mind sharing the files with me?

Yup no problem. I finally decided to solely use the F1's for STEMS, and a couple other quick shortcuts. The mapping is generic, you just need to select which deck is assigned to which F1 and you're good to go.

- DRUM / BASS / INSTRU / VOCAL : Self explanatory
- RATE: Rate the deck's track from 0 to 5 stars in cycle (0-1-2-3-4-5-0-1-2-3....)
- AN: Reanalyze the loaded track
- AN MULTI: Reanalyze "multi" the loaded track
- REV: Play the loaded track backwards
- TAG: Open the Tag editor for the loaded track
- POI: Open the POI editor for the loaded track
- FOCUS: Changes the focus of the selection between the folders and the songs
- ROTARY KNOB: select the folder / song, Push to load
- ALL pads used for STEMS volume (100%, 60%, 30%, 0%) along with the top sliders
- STOP buttons are used for STEMS "padfx echo out" for each individual column



Not sure if this is allowed, but here is a quick video to show it in action:
