What is your experience using Traktor (Scratch) Pro on a Macbook (12') 2015 model? My plan is to buy one (btw replacing the Macbook air which is a great machine for Traktor Scratch Pro / Kontrol S4) but we all know the low power specs of the notebook.
IDJ Pro Traktor Midi mapping TSI File - Requires custom cable to work see http://idjpro.wordpress.com/idj-pro-macbook-pro/ for details of the cable.This is a basic setup trying to emulate some of the standard features of an IDJ Pro with Traktor pro 2.6.
Anyone who does so at their own risk. I am not liable for any mistakes in the mapping. it is my first attempt at mapping in Traktor and there may well be glaring mistakes in it. I have not extensively tested it. So don't scream at me.
This is a 2 deck only mapping. 4 deck coming.
The following functions work as normal on the IDJ pro as in how they would work in DJay
Eq knobs
Filter
Volume knobs
Cross fader
Play/pause
Pitch sliders
Pitch nudge buttons
Record button
Jog wheels
Sync
Cue monitor
Scratch mode - probably need adjusting for taste
Hotcue's
Hotcue 1 is the main cue button
Hotcue 2 is cue button 1
Hotcue 3 is cue button 2
Hotcue 4 is cue button 3
Delete any of the cues with the shift and cue button
Set button is flux mode on/off
Shift and filter knob adjust the gain of each track
Track Navigation
Press the view button to switch tractor to the browser view and back again
Use Shift browse encoder to search the tree list. Use the push button on the encode rto expand / collapse the tree
To scroll through tracks, use the browse encoder.
Press load 1 to load into deck A and Load 2 for deck B.
Loop functions
The 6 buttons works follows
Auto sets up a loop of 8 beat and engages it. Pressing again disengaged the loop.
1/2 and 2x increase decrease the length of the loop.
Loop in starts a manual loop point
Loop Out end a manual loop / auto loop
Reloop - does nothing right now without shift. It will be the button to switch decks in the 4 deck mapping.
The shift and each of these button sets the loop size / beat roll as per normal IDJ pro functions
Monitoring / output levels
The hardware controls for master out, cue mix and cue gain do not send / receive midi messages. Therefore need to be manually controlled on the controller.
However you need to ensure the software controls are up for this to work. Set the mix level to 0 and headphone level out as desired in Traktor. Setting the mix level above zero causes you to hear everything on the cue. You control the cue / final mix on the hardware.
FX
2 FX unit controls only at the moment.
To turn on FX mode press the record button. When lit the top sections of both decks become FX controls.
On deck A you have the controls for FX unit 1. Deck B FX unit 2
Bass control is knob 1
Mid control is knob 2
Hi is knob 3.
Loop in is button 1
Loop out button 2
Reloop button 3
Auto is set to nothing
1/2 is Deck fx unit 1 on. (control correspond to the deck. i.e. DeckA Fx unit 1 on is on deck A.)
2x is Deck fx unit 2 on.

The FX button switches on FX in advanced mode
Parameter is the wet / dry level
Scratch / search switches between advanced and group mode fx. Traktor Kontrol S4 For Sale
No FX selection controls at the moment need to be preselected at present. Looking to add a preset selection control maybe using the jg wheel / pitch fader or load buttons in shift.
Mic / Aux controls are hardware and not mappable :(
Future enhancements changes / ideas
Additional controls to be added using TouchOSC to map additional control screens for use in Traktor therefore giving a versatile system, whilst keeping the basic mixing controls at hand.

Change the loop buttons to work as Kill switches / effect selection preset buttons on off buttons4 deck mode. Got it working in a different mapping file. Need to apply those this as a base mapping and test / release it.

Can the Kontrol F1 be used with Serato DJ software. I was also looking at the Maschine. I have the Numark NS6 controller. How would I hook all these devices to my system since they all use USB connections.
Your NS6 would have to be connected to your computer via USB when you start Serato DJ.
Then you connect the F1 or Maschine in midi mode and will have to map the midi buttons on the controllers to the Serato Software.
Here is a tutorial for you:
I doubt it. RekordBox DJ will start by supporting Pioneer controllers exclusively I think. There is talk of a midi-module. I’m assuming that is a module that will allow connecting/mapping midi devices in general. Won’t be til (late) next year though.
