Fig. 13-2 The Device Setup section.
By default, all MIDI In- and Out-Ports are active per mapping. This can cause unintended
behavior of your whole MIDI setup. The first thing to do is to select the appropriate MIDI de
vice for each MIDI mapping instead of leaving it on "All Ports".
All mappings are concurrently active! If unintended behavior is observed for certain Controls,
try to isolate the problem by disabling all other mappings, which can be done by setting the
In- and Out-Ports to "None."
▪ Device: Choose a mapping to edit. The selection does not define the active mapping
because always all mappings are active unless you set the In- and Out-Ports to "None."
▪ In-Port: Defines the MIDI In port for the selected mapping. It is set to All by default
and should be changed to your physical MIDI in-port or to a virtual MIDI port.
A virtual MIDI connection can be used to send MIDI data between two applications on the
same computer.
▪ Out-Port: This defines the MIDI Out port for the selected mapping. It is set to "All" by
default and should be set to your physical MIDI out-port or to a virtual MIDI port.
▪ Add...: This opens a drop-down menu with the following options:
◦ Generic Keyboard: Creates a mapping for assigning computer keyboard keys to
TRAKTOR Controls.
◦ Generic MIDI: Creates a mapping for assigning MIDI controls to TRAKTOR Controls.
◦ Import: Here you can add a mapping to the Device list from the hard disk. Mappings
that are already loaded will not be overwritten or deleted. Since this function al
ways creates a new device, you need to delete the other devices in the list if you do
not want to use them at the same time.
◦ The Add... menu includes all mappings for the devices natively supported by this
version of TRAKTOR.
▪ Edit...: This opens a drop-down menu with the following options:
