![]() So, I’ve selected a handful of DJ controllers I think stand out for these cases, partly because I’m surprised how often they’re eclipsed by the army of Plastic Coffins.Īnd I’m curious if Winter Music Conference shakes up this list. It’s nice to do this with proper controls, too. There’s also the use case of being at home or on the road and needing to finish a mix or podcast. But if you want a self-contained setup, you’ll definitely need some controls. Now, if you’re using CDJs or digital vinyl for control, you’ll presumably be okay you mainly need only an audio interface. Or until you show up at a club and there’s barely enough room for your 13″ MacBook Pro. That’s all fine and well – until you try to fit your controller into your backpack on easyJet. Let’s call such things the Plastic Coffins. It’d be the size of a coffee table (Lack!) and have a couple of giant wheels. Imagine if you were making a generic DJ controller prop for a bedroom display at IKEA. With so many of us called upon to DJ in a pinch – even as producers or live acts, onstage or in mixes – it’s relevant to almost anyone making electronic music.Īnd finding a way to stay mobile a worthy question – but one you might miss if following DJ blogs and music store displays. You can download the mapping by going to and clicking on the "Mappings" Tab.How can you get the most hands-on control of a laptop DJ set when you don’t have a lot of room? For those of you who were using my Maschine mapping for Traktor, this is almost the same, but with some extra features. Almost every important function in Traktor is mapped outto the F1 controller with colorful LED output that glows bright in the club and gives you visual feedback of what is happening in Traktor directly on the controller. You can also easily switch back and forth from the deck mapping, to controlling the Remix Decks. This mapping will turn your Traktor Kontrol F1 into a powerful 4 Deck Controller for Traktor Pro 2 with a built in four channel mixer! Not only does this MIDI mapping have powerful controls for playing, looping, hotcues, beatjump, and other live remixing tools, it also has a 4 channel mixer mapped out with Volume faders and filters. Even if you are not a Traktor user, or don't have the F1 controller I think you will still find the story behind the mapping interesting, and can see what is possible with Traktor using any MIDI Controller or even your own keyboard. ![]() Hey Guys, I wanted to share with you all a new MIDI Mapping I did for the Traktor Kontrol F1. ![]()
