Hi all

The endless rotaries on the APC40 output 0-127, and this doesn't work in Traktor for seek positon.

any idea how to convert this so it works in traktor?

Do you know what Traktor is expecting message wise???

Hi Joeseph,

The 'Seek Position' function in Traktor can be used as an 'Absolute' or 'Relative' input, the APC knobs are sending an Absolute message.

In Traktor, when you are mapping your control, from the drop-down menu, for 'Controller Type', select Fader/Knob and for 'Interaction Type' select Direct. This should allow you to use the APC knob for seeking position.

The knob will represent the 'absolute' position of the track position, ie. 0 = start of track, and 127 = end of track (and everywhere else inbetween!!)

Hope this helps...

Scott

Hi Attigo

You answered my question in one your previous posts.

Traktor responds to
right turn 65
left turn 01

I can use the below to solve me problem

BTW The direct setting in Traktor does not allow you to adjust the acceleration like a encoder control

Translator 0: Determine Direction
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI B0 01 qq
Rules:
if qq>ga then rr=63
if qq<ga then rr=-63
Outgoing: MIDI B1 01 rr

Translator 1: Set Previous Value
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI B0 01 ga
Outgoing: (none)

Thanks both :-)

Darren i've got the toggle setup and working and re-programmed the leds - SWEET

Glad to hear it! It's great when you get to solve problems and things just work, the APC has been the most challenging controller i'[ve worked with but by far the most rewarding!

Make sure you post up a proper guide to your preset when you've finished, we'll need screenshots the lot!!
