▪ Control: This is the name of the function assignment. You can add Controls via the Add
in... and Add Out... buttons. A complete list of all Controls and their meaning can be
found in chapter 20 of the TRAKTOR manual.
▪ I/O: States if a Control will be used as an input (from a knob, button, or encoder) or an
output (to an LED or level meter).
◦ Use MIDI input Control (In) when you want to assign a TRAKTOR element to an ex
ternal MIDI controller element (like a knob on a MIDI controller).
◦ MIDI output Controls (Out) are mostly used when your controller has the ability to
receive feedback, such as LED output, to show the current state of the software
user interface.
▪ Assignment: This shows the target you have specified under Assignment in the Mapping
Details section. This can be Deck A to D or Device Target for Deck Controls, and Global
for other Controls and modifiers. These settings are explained in the Mapping Details
section below.
▪ Mode: Shows the interaction mode you have set for a Control in the Mapping Details
section. The available modes depend on the type of Control (e.g. button, fader/knob,
encoder). Interaction modes are explained in the Mapping Details section below.
▪ Mapped to: Shows either the source for the Control (input devices) or the target (output
devices).
▪ Cond1 and Cond2: Display the values of the first and second conditions as set in the
Mapping Details section. Modifiers are explained in the Mapping Details section below.
▪ Comment: You can enter a comment in this field, which is stored with the Control as
signment.
The currently selected Control in the list is highlighted in yellow. If there is another Control
in the list and it has the same Control source assigned in the Mapped to column as the se
lected Control, this will be highlighted in a darker yellow. This feature is especially useful for
debugging large mapping lists.
