  • will this work with pro 2.1?

  • i love your stands.. where can i get one from?

  • same problem as below, though my maschine stopped working with traktor before and I tried this layout as a remedy but still no dice. Also, when importing the machinepro2.tsi, I'm only presented with the option for the controller mappings, with the hotkeys requiring a seperate import.

  • After I follow exactly the procedure, maschine doesn't work whatsoever.. what might the problem be?

  • This is awesome, but for some reason when i import it into traktor with my numark mixtrack pro it messes up the repeat button for side B. when i push the toggle repeat button for the b side it stops the track on A or goes to the cue point in A... any ideas?

  • @ohhiimchris yeah you need to go to the controller manager and set the in and out ports for each controller separately. Make sure nothing is set to "All Ports"

  • hello,i cannot get the the file machine tpro in the append thing,if you can help please comment back thank you!

  • @TheDjvultik It is in the folder called "DJ Endo Traktor Settings"

  • Hi mate could you upload a set up for Traktor with Maschine Mikro ??? would be great . Cheers

  • Is there a way to cue without the sync button automatically coming on and also why when I import does it only give me one option to click which is controller mappings

  • what is shiftee's mapping website? LOLZ

  • and whats the link for your .tsi mapping;?

  • anyone have the .ncm file?

  • will these settings work for Mikro?

  • @deeJayEndo I am also having only one option when importing the .TSI file on Traktor Pro

  • @pcproff Yes I made it that way so you don't overwrite your mappings in the controller manager

  • Need assis on set up with my cdj 900 maschine and tractor 6 audio interface and the denon dnmc 6000 mateun5@yahoo.com

  • @vernellstube If your in the NYC area I can help you with this in a private lesson. Just shoot an e-mail to Diane at Dubspot dot com and she'll set it up with us

  • are your mappings just for mac os?

  • @slightlybamaleanin No they work for windows as well

  • i'm tried this mapping and i wonder how i can delete the hotcues??

  • @DelsonLP93 Currently you cannot delete the hotcues. I might make a fix for that but it might not be for a while

  • is there no re cue button for each deck? great vid btw

  • @jamestrystan Thanks! - there are 5 cue points you can retrigger. If you want to stop on a cue point use the bottom group buttons (E-H) or if you want the deck to keep playing use the top group buttons (A-D). Just keep in mind A-D will turn off timecode control since its made for internal mode DJing

  • Got a chance to jam on one of these about 5 months ago. Im pretty well set on getting one at this point. It feels as good as most of the MPCs Ive used. I still like my 5000 for home use tho. Native Instruments is kickin' a whole lotta rump in the controller industry!

  • @AlexanderSaint1 wait until they unveil their next controller. Its going to be a game changer!

  • @DeeJayEndo Im listening :D

  • I guess the question that everybody on here wants the answer to is... What's in the folder labelled 'ANTARCTICA MIX'?

  • the same here, on the 'Select Categories to Import' menu I can only select 'Controller Mapping'

    any suggestions other than the file being corrupt? I've re-downloaded it 5 times!

  • @milkmirror You only need to import the controller mapping (tsi) and the Controller editor file (.ncm)

  • @DeeJayEndo It's when i'm in tractor, on the 'select categories to import' tab, you show on the video to select several options, I can only select controller mappings, when I do that the mapping doesn't work??

  • @milkmirror Its "Traktor" not "tracktor" (Pet Peeve of mine). Yes, I took out the other options in order to not mess up peoples settings. I am going to make some changes to the mapping and fixes in the next couple weeks

  • also when i import the tsi file it only let my pick the controller mapping option

  • hey great video. 1 problem... when i load the tsi file in traktor it keeps going back to keyboard settings help pls

  • On the windows files, it only allows you the import the mappings, none of the other settings. Is there a fix for this???

  • @ian6511 I only put the midi mapping in my updated file so I don't change your other settings

  • YEa Boston!!!

  • @TH3Producer I live in NYC now but I will never be a yankees fan. Never ever ever. Go Red Sox! 

  • ok what about maschine mikro?

  • do you need dj audio 8 for maschine to work with traktor??

  • @sofakinggoodtracks no, but if you are using it in a gig or club environment it would help the sound quality, heck save yourself some money and buy the audio 2, it would work just the same.

  • @pittster57 Yes the Audio 2 works, however you cannot use scratch control with it and are limited to only 2 outputs.

  • @sofakinggoodtracks No you can use any soundcard. If you want to use Scratch Control the soundcard has to be Traktor certified

  • For some reason Traktor only recognizes my Maschine controller when I reinstall the latest driver. I've tried multiple things for this issue including uninstalling both traktor and maschine. I've repaired my disk permissions and all others. Any recommendations?

  • @SOLDERYOURMOUTHSHUT this sounds like a question for Native Instruments Tech Support. Call them at 3234672693

  • when i import maschine tpro.tsi im only able to check the midi mapping ?

  • @mytisify Yes exactly. The file only loads the MIDI mapping. I wouldn't want to overwrite your other settings.

  • is just regular traktor pro 2 the same as traktor scratch pro?

  • can you do this with a novation launchpad or an akai apc40?

  • Comment removed

  • I defintitely like the mapping overall, but I can't stand your layout settings, etc, and I can't figure out how to get mine back. I can't figure how to get the extended view where you can adjust cue points, gridding, etc.

  • So you don't need a mixer right? But is there a way to incorporate a mixer into the setup? Or is there another get same functionality with just the Maschine and your laptop?

  • @zubinmg With this mapping, you'd need either a mixer or another controller with the crossfader and volume faders mapped.

  • @upsiderown And how would you set that up since Maschine is connected to your laptop through USB? Would it go from the laptop output to the mixer?

  • @zubinmg Right, Maschine is just a USB controller, so you'll still need an audio interface. If you've got an extrenal mixer, you'd run deck A output into channel 1, deck B into channel 2, etc. Be sure to set Traktor to External Mixing mode. I'm using a MIDI Mixer (Faderfox DJ2) for volume & EQ, Maschine for EFX, Transport, Loops. This is in Internal Mixing mode. You COULD just run your laptop output into the mixer, but you couldn't headphone cue, and it would sound like crap on larger systems.

  • do you have to have a mixer? or can you run machine straight into traktor and assign faders on the knobs or some other control on the machine?

  • @jmotter92 You do not need a mixer you can midi map controls from the computer straight to the maschine

  • @DubSpot I know this video is old, but I'm getting traktor scratch pro 2, maschine & kontrol x1 for x-mas this year.. what are the requirements/specs(for the cpu) to run this whole setup? And also how to hook everything up? I'm new to the whole dj thing. Wow!! You taught GMF how to use this software? COOL!! aka Blaze

  • @analher Even though this video was made using Traktor Pro, it works the same on Traktor Pro 2. Just follow along with the video step by step and everything will work. With the X1's you just plug them in and the mappings will load automagically

  • @DeeJayEndo Thanks... Didn't open it yet, but I know it's up under the tree, can't wait though.. I guess I'm sooo impatient=p.. aka Blaze

  • @DubSpot How do we set up a volume or x-fader control in Maschine? Thanks DJ Endo

  • @DubSpot could you please make a tutorial or tell me in a other way how to assign the faders and crossfader on the knobs i just can´t find out how to do this in the controller editor :( i´ve just got the maschine and no mixer so i really need to know!!

  • @Leon4FATLIPS Check out Shiftee's latest tutorial on MIDI mapping in Traktor

  • @jmotter92 you can assign the faders and knobs to different controls on the maschine but you would have to delete the mappings I did for those knobs. Unless you really know what your doing with the controller manager I wouldn't recommend doing this. Maybe just try mixing with the mouse. I do this all the time at afterparties. I use my maschine and mix with the mouse and plug my computer into the TV in my hotel room. Works like a charm :) Plus those endless encoders don't work well for faders

  • i did everything but traktor isnt reading or picking up any midi.

    help?

  • @MrLouieRock Check the ports in Preferences - Controller Manager - Click the Device Dropdown Menu - select the Maschine mapping and make sure the in and out ports are set to Maschine controller

  • I'm new to this...I don't see a preview window and rec and erase do not automatically play my selections. 

  • @pingtrip77 I have supplied you guys with 2 mappings. One mapping uses the preview player and the other mapping does not. You might have the mapping that doesn't use the preview player. To see the preview player, go to preferences - browser details and turn on "Show Preview Player"

  • File can be found @ native-instruments[dot]com/for­um_de/showthread[dot]php?t=109­269

  • is it possible to use maschine and numark mixtrack at the same time in traktor? i can only get one or the other to work at a time.

  • @JohnnyPbitch Yes you need to load both TSI files in the controller manager. Go to Preferences - Controller Manager. Click the Device Menu and see what you have loaded in there. You can delete devices by clicking Edit - Delete under the device menu. Now click (under the device menu) Add - Import and import both the Maschine mapping and the mixtrack mapping separately. Make sure you didn't load doubles of any of your mappings. Viola!

  • does the new link only work for traktor pro 2?

  • "tripping in chile" great fucking record!

  • for me not working?any suggestions?pls:d

    i have dj endo's settings,not working:(

  • yeah, went there.. 3 months after whoever the last fellow... and says the bandwidth was exceeded

  • Just to clarify my .tsi is not dj endos .tsi it is just similar in a few ways, but different in many more. I would never try to profit from another artists work, especially when he was cool enough to offer his for free.

  • Hey Endo, when I click on A, B, C or D on my Maschine pad and then press any of the hot keys on the Maschine pad, I seem to lose control of the decks and need to physically click on the deck "logo" found under the deck beside "play" on the transport controls. When I am in vinyl control by pressing E, F, G and H I do not seem to have this problem. Is this to do with your mapping settings? If so, how can I alter the A, B, C and D hot keys to prevent this from happening?

  • @s4236521 Right, this is exactly how I mapped the controller. If your using Timecode use groups E,F,G,H. This layer won't turn off timecode, and its unsync'd, unsnapped and unquantized for those who like to "keep it real". Groups A,B,C,D is for internal mode and will make sure everything is syncd and quantized. It works best if everything is beatgridded and you have a cue point on the first kick drum in the track.

  • it does work with tp2. I have altered mine to have full control of the new sample deck features as well as tap tempo for the sync of each decks and some other cool stuff. It is awesome. I've programmed all the led's in mine though. Thinkin about maybe sellin it when im done. lol

  • @dmoates420 CAN U UPLOADED AGAIN PLS AND SHARE A LINK?:D

  • @mixxlive Hey, Actually I have done some recent changes that are really cool and i am very close to being done with it. I am going to try to make a video showing all the features and how they work, and possibly posting it for sale online for real cheap, like a few bucks. But i tell u what, since u are the first person to contact me that seemed really excited about it so i will promise to give u a copy of the .tsi and machine template for free. Contact me back if u want to know the details.

  • @dmoates420 HERE IS MY LIVE MESSENGER id:colinreed1@live.com/Yahoo:m­ixxlive@yahoo.com,thanks for all,u are great!hardly wait the details,cheers!

  • @dmoates420 you best be giving me 50% of sales buddy. ;-)

  • I'm gonna try it out this eve, hope it does, just moving to traktor for djing from ableton and can't seem to get demo for pro anymore. I wanna try this out

  • @mameeshkamatt you can download the demo for Traktor Pro on the Native Instruments website on the Traktor page

  • will the mapping work on pro 2?

  • @mameeshkamatt i have the same question, would it work on tsp2 ??

  • @marvie05marv it does work. bloody loverly, great mapping.

  • @mameeshkamatt i got it fixed. what happened is i lost my .ncm file frm dj endo. I redownload and import it on tsp2. sick!

  • @mameeshkamatt btw, thank u !

  • @mameeshkamatt Thank you!

  • @mameeshkamatt yes, I updated the mapping for Traktor Pro 2

  • thanks for the tutorial. is there any way to change the whole tsi different midi channels? Right now it's on channels 1 and 2, but these channels conflict with my other midi controller, which is also on channels 1 & 2. In the controller editor it's relatively eay to map all the controls to a different channel but in traktor it seems i have to do it button by button, one at a time. Is there a quicker way?

  • @matgelakt you'd have to do all of that in the controller editor. I don't believe there is a way to change the whole mapping. You'd have to do it one by one. I'll put in a feature request for changing the whole mapping all at once.

  • hi! I tried your presets but I couldnt load all your settings into traktor on my macbook somehow.

    But I have another question. Is it possible to delete cuepoints on the fly on maschine? do you have a button for that in your presets or do I have to adjust that?

    I just bought maschine yesterday and hat to go to university today so didnt have quite the time do do some research on my own =)

    Keep up the good work!

  • Hi there endo! great video, I got everything working but a small thing is bugging me. When I hit the pads it doesn't light up like yours. Before I used your tsi file it lit up every button I hit on it. I really need that function for presentation for my online viewers, so it won't make me look like i'm just tapping the table on camera. Please help!!!!

  • @dlnemerson I'll have a mapping out soon with LED feedback and sample deck control. Stay tuned to Dubspot's blog and it will be posted there.

  • @DeeJayEndo thanks endo! I already fixed the problem, it was the new "control editor" update that made it stop illuminating. So i just downgraded to version 1.1.1, no problems there!

  • ohhh i have tractork le but i like 2 have a tractork controller x1 and later a machine pt1 cant u helpme u think is fine if i conect a controller in my numar misdeck and later a machine??? so do u no some place in boston i can go for fix my problem and some dj school in mass thank's men

  • @latino790908 You can hook up as many devices as you want to Traktor. You would just load the settings into the controller manager (see my video on the dubspot youtube called "The Mothership"). Our school is located in NYC (bolt bus is only $20 each way max), or you can sign up for our online school.

  • hi mike i have a little cuestion what part of boston u work men i live in worcester mass and i need help for serup my tractork in my pc i have a numark misdeck and i serup the sofware but everythin dont wok and a like 2 have the tractork machine do u have a pone o some direccion to go o hotmail thank'u

  • @latino790908 I actually don't live in Boston anymore. I'm in NYC.

  • I mix like that for a while now and it works out pretty well, but i wish to have a knob to control the crossfader or even a real one ;)

  • @userman93 You can map it out but the way the knobs are built on the maschine controller might not work so well as a crossfader.

  • Hi In you rmaschine TPRO.tsi file in your folder when i open it in traktor scratch pro the only option it gives my to choose from is the controller mappings I dont have access to the other choices you told us to choose from in the video like hot key setings,midi mapping,Gui layout,effect settings,all other preferences settings. none of these are avail.

    Can you help us access this?

  • I was able to configure my maschine as a midi controller (via my audio 8 dj) traktor as described in this video... I am recieving a master output signal, but no volume in the headphones, and I have output preview channels selected as 7 and 8 in the preferences, and my headphones are hooked up to the headphone jack in the audio 8 dj and I have out 7/8 selected as the channel... does anyone have any idea why I am not receiving a headphone signal? a million thanks for your help...

  • yes, you need to go to preferences - output routing and set the "preview" output to output 7&8. Then you should get a signal in your audio 8's headphone jack. Its a lot of fun if you have 2 headphone sets. 1 for listening to the preview player and 1 for mixing. It looks cool on stage too :-)

  • tried to dl your presets, but i got an error saying they werent found on the server , might want to check that out

  • @tgulden I think Endo's site was having some issues, it should be back up soon.

  • DOES ANYONE HAVE THE ENDO'S SETTINGS?PLZ UPLOAD AND SHARE A LINK FOR ALL!THAT WOULD BE NICE!THX!

  • @mixxlive The settings should be up now and working ok.

  • hey djendo. I tried downloading your settings but the files i downloaded were not the same ones you used in your tutorial.

  • @segmata666 Fixed! Now the old settings are back up. However there are new settings with LED feedback that are a little different, which you can download as well. We will be posting the link to the new settings soon.

  • I also have the latest version of traktor pro and the maschine, and I can only find a template called "morales controller editor" in my settings. It doesn't work as easily as I would've thought

  • @Poelewoele Fixed! Try downloading again.

  • 2 things

    does this work with traktor pro ?

    and can you reupload the file ?

  • @whitessound Yes it works with Traktor Pro, Traktor S4 and any future versions of Traktor

  • Do the Traktor-Machine settings you uploaded work in Windows or just Mac?

  • @optimystikill watch this space, we're planning some new windows videos soon

  • I get it - you can set up this bit of kit so it syncs your tracks up in time direct from cue, or you can piss about trying to get them in time yourself by nudging - / + pitch whilst convincing yourself you're better than the technology (only to then give up and press the SYNC button). If i wanted to do things old skool i'd use my SL 1200's.

  • @Trickmusicuk Actually to get the sync to work correctly you need to set up your beatgrids properly first. Check out my tutorial video on how to do this.

  • Hi djendo

    can you re-post the link i was not able to download your settngs

  • @klitikat fixed

  • this is strange .. why would someone have a set up like this . just go out and buy a dedicated controller..

  • @markkellr This is my preferred controller actually. It feels great and is very intuitive, and it looks awesome in a dark booth! Every DJ I've trained on using Maschine as a MIDI Controller for Traktor (Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli, David Morales) LOVES it!

  • Got it working hmmm... had to put midi input and output to maschine which is on a different tab in the new 1.2.6 Total confusion!

  • @jimmydeluxetv Yes, since these videos were recorded there has been an update to the controller editor section in the Traktor Preferences. You need to set the in and out ports to Maschine. Thanks for reminding me to mention this. 

  • Comment removed

  • Hello Endo, great tutorial. But for me it doesn't work.

    When loading your maschine_tpro template it doesn't work but there is midi activity. When switching back to the default "traktor pro" with the shift key it works again. I have loaded the tsi and the ncm, also tried making a new template in controller editor. Please help me :(

  • @jimmydeluxetv Try checking Traktor Preferences - Controller Editor - Select Maschine in the Device Menu and set the In and Out Ports to Maschine. This should fix your problem. Traktor updated this section of the preferences since we did these videos.

  • ive had the same probelm as @LanEvo6TME and i have Traktor Pro.

    I have run a software update but it says there is nothing that needs to be updated.

    has anyone else have this probelm?? has anyone got a answer for this??

    would be greatly appeciated

  • @KirkSpencerTV I would download updates from the Native Instruments website - support - updates. I know there was an update to Traktor that installed to a new location in the applications folder so this caused a lot of confusion. Make sure you use the version of Traktor thats in your applications / native instruments folder.

  • Just wanted to mirror what someone else said in here, the notes on the midi between traktor and control editor, do not correspond.

    Hotcue 1 for example, is (just say) D# on the editor and yet it will be on D in Traktor... I am trying to edit Endo's TSI file so that I can make use of a full 8 cuepoint system, to no avail.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

  • @Lazaruseifer I'll bring this to Endo's attention and see if I can get a clarification from him. Thanks for your comment.

    One thing to try would be to double check your midi output by sending it into another device that can display MIDI data (like a sequencer or midi monitor) just to make sure that it's sending out what you think it is.

  • @DubSpot - Thanks dude!

  • @Lazaruseifer You want to make sure that you have loaded the correct file in the controller manager "Maschine_TPRO.ncm" and then loaded the correct TSI in Traktor. As far as editing MIDI mappings, thats a beast that we will be covering in our online school. You might also want to check my tutorial video on mapping triple macros on the Dubspot channel. 

  • Hey I'm having trouble loading the tsi file onto traktor. When i select import the little window pops up but none of the boxes seem to able to be checked so i end up importing nothing.

  • @LanEvo6TME Do you have Traktor Pro? Make sure you have the newest version (or close to the newest version). Because you can only use *. tsi 's from your version or older.

  • @LanEvo6TME ive had the same probelm as @LanEvo6TME and i have Traktor Pro.

    I have run a software update but it says there is nothing that needs to be updated.

    has anyone else have this probelm?? has anyone got a answer for this??

    would be greatly appeciated

  • Hey nice vids. But i have some troubles. I loaded the ncm file into the controller editor and the tsi file in traktor. First problem ,scrolling in the musiclist goes with 2rows in a time. then the second problem is start playing the song is not pad 13 but pad 1. Stop are pause the song wil not work. Can you help me want its is so mutch better than the original one from NI

  • @MrBloodFlower Sounds like you imported the settings twice. Thats why its jumping over your tracks. Go to preferences - controller editor - Devices and select the duplicate mapping, then click on edit - delete to delete it. Just be careful you don't delete anything important like your hotkeys.

  • Hey Pittster, you need to load the mapping template for the controller editor, and also load the TSI into Traktor by going to the controller manager in the Traktor preferences, clicking "Add" and loading the Maschine TSI file I included. Let me know if you have any other problems

  • ok I am having problems, I did get the new mapping template for the controller editor, but for some reason its not working in traktor, can someone help?

  • You can sync Traktor and Maschine on one laptop so you can not only use Maschine as a MIDI controller, but also use it as a drum machine / sampler. If you hold shift and press "control" it will switch back and forth between being a MIDI controller and running Machine. The trick is plugging your MIDI out to MIDI in on whatever audio interface your using and sending MIDI clock from Traktor to Machine.

  • can u just use the maschine program as a plugin for traktor so that u can mix music with your tracks that u make with maschine ??

    i will probley buy traktor just for this purpose.

    can u also do this with traktor scratch pro. im pretty sure i can do this with abelton live 8 i just want to make sure before investing

  • Hey All - you need to install BOTH the controller editor file AND the TSI file to get the settings to work. In the new version of Traktor the best way to import my settings is to go to the controller manager, create a new device by clicking "Add" and then load my Maschine settings. This way you can import other MIDI device settings as well and use multiple controllers! As far as tempo goes, I would highly reccomend not putting your tempo control on Maschine because of the way the knobs work.

  • @DeeJayEndo this is so much better than what ships with MASCHINE... thanks

  • Comment removed

  • Hi the template pad/notes in the controller editor do not correspond

    with the notes on the maschine template in traktor ???

    but still it works ???

    want to mod some stuff, dunno what to erase ???

  • Hey Endo, i wanted to add a tempo adj. param to your template.

    I want to assign the pitch faders of the decks to the tempo knob on Maschine so that it can control the focus deck.

    when i tried this it seemed like the sync button and nudge buttons became disfunctional, would you know if this would be true?

    can u give me pointers on how to do what i wanted to do?

  • @caliphono they might be non functional because your bump and sync is set to activate on the focus :P maybe?

  • You can sync Ableton to Traktor by sending midi clock from Traktor to Ableton (via MIDI cable, Traktor's Virtual MIDI, Ethernet, or computer to computer MIDI network with Mac) and then you can use your Launch pad to trigger clips etc in Ableton. There is a preference in Traktor to send MIDI clock, turn that on, press the "Play" button in the Master clock section, then set Ableton to "EXT" mode, and play the metronome's in both programs, adjusting abletons midi offset until they are in sync.

  • root !!

    rout? haha

  • Thanks DeeJay Endo I own the Maschine and was thinking bout purchasing traktor pro before i saw your vids on dubspot. After I saw what possible with my maschine via controlling traktor i immediatley bought traktor pro online NI site. Thanks for these great tutorial vids homie.

  • how can i use Traktor (vci 1000,Maschine and live(lauch pad) together when i play clubs

  • Hey guys, I updated the settings so you can import my hotkeys and MIDI files separately. This was done to prevent users from accidentally overwriting their settings.

  • his template doesn't import al the stuff like in de video ???

  • you still have tiger... lol

  • I think the whole idea here is to show people what's possible with setups using midi/pads/knobs/traktor/etc. You have to set it up the way your brain works. It's an evolving process. Once you DO it's a thing of beauty. Moving past the mechanical process of syncing with turntables and finding new ways of doing things that actually affect the music is key here.

  • too much keep it simple

  • why would you ever want to dj this way, is beyond me.

  • because he bought the maschine for making music and want to use it for other purposes too.

    the more you can do with something, the bigger feel of satisfaction you get.

  • to me it makes more sense to mix like this for certain styles/genres -

    eg minimal or techno, where beatmatching is just a total waste of time and syncing and quantizing is the more logical approach..

    alterntatively, if you're a hip hop/ scratch DJ - Vinyl is still the way forward, as there's no button-bashing subsitute..

    at the end of the day, it's all about what the listener gets out of it, rather than how its done - cos 99% of the time, they don't care, as long as they're having a rave :)
