  • TinyMike

    I am in love with this site. I’m on here for hours just watching videos and reading things. The one problem I’m having is that I can’t seem to map my filters and efx correctly with my M-Audio O2 keyboard. It’s a standard 25 key like the Oxygen 8 so I d/led the files from the site and started working off of that, but unfortunately the midi mapping for the Control buttons is different between the units. Is there any possibility there might be a tsi file around?

    hi does anybody got a tks file for Traktor scratch with Novation Nocturn? I'm kinda new with it and any help would be great! thanks in advance.

  • Ean Golden

    Thanks for the contribution Tibs!

  • Tibs

    Hi,

    For those using a Novation Remote, here are some mapping for controlling 4 decks. Not as intuitive as the one here (perfect for 2 decks with effects).

    It's from Novation themselves. They are not easy and need some improvements (nothing attached to the pads ??!!!) but they are very nice. It is two templates actually.

    http://www.novationmusic.com/support/software/rem

    You need to register online to get the Remote Software that allows you to upload these templates.

    By the way the Novation remote is an amazing piece. So easy to switch between effects, even software…

    Thanks for this site, it has been the best. Simple and to the point. Great.

    Cheers

    Thibs

    PS: Only pb with DJTechtools template regards the crossfader, it seems to be always 100% to the left and need to be moved and maintain to be in the middle. But maybe that's becaus you use external mixer as shown on the video.

  • Janosch

    Ean and all,

    I've been working with Numark Total Control and Virtual DJ. I'd like to switch to Traktor 3. Not sure though whether to get the M-Audio Xponent or the Vestax VCI-100 to control Traktor. (Note: I do no want to use Torq).

    Any suggestions? What's your recommendation?

    Thanks a lot!

    Best,

    Jan

    Hi all,

    Does anyone have a tks file for a Korg MicroKontrol?

    Would love you if you did!

    Thanks

    <blockquote cite="#comment-7566">has anyone tried the tks for 2 vci's at once?

    i loaded it up…but both vci's access deck A and B.

    Try swithing channels between the settings of the VCIs.

    Hook one up to channel1 the other to channel 2. 😉

  • Ean

    Are you likely to be doing any tutorials or TKS developments for the 2D?

    we should do that for sure- thanks for the suggestion.

  • Paolo_R

    Ean: any chance you could give us the benefit of your insights with respect to Xone2D controllers?

    its very popular and a good addition for those that are using vinyl control and just need an extra strip of controls for traktor FX and loops

  • dillinger23

    hey guys all problems sorted and is working like a dream except this darn-tootin setting the pitch sliders to fine pitch so they become relative and not absolute, thus causing huge jumps in tempo when touched! i know this isnt the place to hassle any peeps on this, and i DO apologise, but have googled all over forums at vestax and native instr. and i just cannae find it! so if any of you kind gents could point a not too bright brother in the right direction.. you will surely go to controllerist heaven, where the beer is always cold, and the OS never locks or freezes. :o)

  • dillinger23

    thanks ean. re: no. 1 have played with the crossfader curve adjust to no avail unfortunately, but thanks for the headsup re: no. 2

  • Ean

    these sort of questions always get asked in the forum- posting there will get you the best response.

    1) is a hardware problem or crossfader curve adjustment

    2) you need to change the TKS file so pitch is controlling fine pitch. not pitch.

  • dillinger23

    well was one of the lucky buggers who managed to get one of the last balck units from japan.. now having a couple of small issues in the set-up. not sure if this is the right forum, but am hoping some yoda-like already user will take pity on thick (lazy)old me.

    1. the cross-fader seems to have a very slight but noticeable lag in the signal getting to the software, if you have fader all the way over on deck A, then slam all the way over to deck B there is a slight, but perceptible lag in the cut-over. can i speed up the response to this, or has anyone else had this problem??

    2. am a lazy sod when going digital, and cannot resist using SYNCH to get the approximate BPM, but of course fine-tuning is sometimes needed. However the pitch slider is not relative,and if i touch it, it reverts to the baselin e BPM of the track… can i make this relative thru a software option??

    thanks for any posts left in pity, and gratefully and humbly thanking in advance..

    this is re: traktor 3.3

  • Tony O.K.

    Hi All. Any .tks files for Denon's new DN-S1200 with traktor 3.3??? PLEASE!!

    Thanks

  • Jos? Nino

    Hi people… and tks files for CDJ 400 Midi Controler????? Share your files please….!!!!

  • Ean Golden

    Has anyone noticed that the Oxygen 8 zip file doesn't have anything in it? There isn't a TKS file in there. Is that on purpose?

    it apparently is zipped in a mac format and PC users are having trouble downloading it. Some one posted the TKS in PC format here but I cant seem to find it just now.

  • Adricteed

    Hy Ean!

    Do you have any video from you acting with the Oxygen 8 V2, because i have one but the latest version of it..Does your TKS works with mine thks in advance..

    And also i would like to know if the Remote Sl 25 that you use to act live is better than a Oxygen 8..

    Good website thanks.

  • Marcus

    Does anyone have the VCI-100 mapped for Virtual DJ? I would really appreciate it if someone could upload it or email it to me. I you respond on this board, I’ll post my email. Thanks.

  • Kupas

    Oh what a great work!

    I hope you make some .tks files for numark total control 😛

  • Chris Wright

    I dunno I was really unimpressed by the build quality of the XP5 units I ordered, but the jogs actually felt pretty good and seemed to perform more or less on par with the vci jogs. I'm still glad I returned them for a vci-100 just the same though. It looks better and feels better and seems way more rugged plus it's a fairly compact all in one unit.

    I'm in the process of custom mapping virtual DJ for my VCI-100 the jogs seem more responsive with VDJ compared to traktor or deckadance. Also you can VJ with VDJ which is nice can't wait to experiment with it further briefly tried the VJ thing and seems dope. I plan to map my MPD16 with it as well for like samples and or additional cue set/cue trigger stuff.

  • obsidiance

    Thanks Chris, Its a little late though!! haha.

    Having used the XP10s a little bit since they arrived, i have to say that im not really unimpressed, they certainly didnt seem to be QUITE as bad as what you said about the XP5s. Remember the XP5s are the "budget" version of an already cheap piece of hardware. I must agree that the buttons are rather stiff, but i dont mind the feel of the jogs, both of them have nice resistance. Luckily i got them dirt cheap ($150 AU) so i cant really complain. Nice that they have their own sound cards too, now i just gotta hook up a nice 2 chan dj mixer with 3 x eq.

  • Chris Wright

    Ean speaking of custom layouts files have you tried out Virtual DJ with the VCI-100? I like the feel of it more than deckadance and traktor in my brief experimenting between the three plus it's got the added VJ feature which is pretty dope stuff I gotta say I can't wait to try it out more, but I might have to send my VCI-100 back for a replacement one of my jog wheel adjustment screws broke the first time I went to adjust it why they couldn't have used the same knob as the curve control on the cross fader is beyond me.

  • Chris Wright

    <blockquote cite="#comment-1608">hi, firstly love the site. i am thinking of buying a pair of XP10s off ebay and i was wondering whether there were any TKS files for them. I had a quick look and couldnt find anything.

    ps. it would be awesome if you could review them.

    I tried the XP5's a few weeks back which are nearly identical and the build quality was awful case flexed when you pressed the cue buttons then some buttons were so stiff they didn't even click. The jogs had no adjustments and one wobbled a bit while the other was slightly stiffer. Overall it felt like a cheaply made toy. I'd stay away from it and save for a vci-100 you'll probably kick yourself if you don't.

  • soup

    do u have a tks for the dac-2 with gizmo labs midi emulator

  • rialler

    Hi Ean!

    I've sent you an email with vci-100+oxy8V2 combo traktor files.

    cheers

  • DJTC

    Hi Ean,

    I wanted to inquire about your .SYX template for your SL-25. You had a really neat setup for Traktor in this video:

    "Setting up Digital DJ Gear in a Club"


    Don't suppose you'd be so kind as to share the wealth? 🙂

  • DJTranslocation

    I sent you an E-Mail with .tks files for the Numark Total Control…

    Is anybody else using it?

    I like it much more than the BCD ones and it's got a little community for its awesomeness :>

  • Ferg

    Hey Ean

    Thanks for the update. I was curious what you thought of the Stanton SC system (Enter the System). Will you be doing a review anytime soon?

  • obsidiance

  • Xsquizet

    do you think there is one available for the trigger finger

  • Ean Golden

    No, that is a completely different layout that can only be achieved with new firmware for the vci-100. So those special editions will ship with the new firmware and the right TKS file.

  • DJLP

    For those of us waiting for the "official" VCI-100 EG Edition, will we still need those settings?

  • Ean Golden

    novation SL template uploaded and more to come this week.

  • sjs

    novation coming soon???? i look forward to it, pelase notify us of the remote sl tks file when you do have the chance. thanks so muchQ!!!

  • Boyku

    Thanks a lot! this is exactly what I was looking for.

  • Bento San

    Sweet looking files, i usually use Deckadance/Ableton but i think its worth reinstalling traktor to have a play around with these. hopefully i will be able to replicate some of the ideas into my own setup. Thanks heaps !

    Thumbs up to anyone who puts the time in to add to this list, ill be sure to check out everything people put up of interest.
