Mapping rotary to different controller when press and turn

Hello,

i have purchased a Reloop Digital Jockey midi-controller, and so far am really liking it. I am using it together with Traktor 3. I also bought MT Pro to get the maximum out of my gear

One of the things i cannot do with the standard Traktor mapping is assigning a rotary controller to a different CC when pressing it down and turning. The Reloop has several rotaries that also act as push-buttons and send a note on/off when pressed down/released.

I have made some rules in MT Pro that enable me to send the rotary to a different CC when having the rotary pressed down and turning it, but i am wondering if they way i have implemented it is the best way:

Translator 2: eqlowleft
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI 90 16 pp
Rules:
if pp==0 then g0=0
if pp==127 then g0=127
Outgoing: MIDI 90 16 pp

Translator 3: eqlowleftturn
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI B0 05 pp
Outgoing: MIDI B0 g0 pp

i have used CC 0 and CC 127 for testing purposes. I would like to know if this is the smartest way to implement this, or if there are better ways?

Cheers, Olaf

Hi Olaf,

that's quite OK how you do it. You can optimize translator 2 like this:

Translator 2: eqlowleft
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI 90 16 g0
Outgoing: MIDI 90 16 g0

now in translator 3, you can select your outgoing translator with a rule if it should be different from 0 and 127:

Translator 3: eqlowleftturn
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI B0 05 pp
Rules:
if g0 == 0 THEN tt=60
if g0 > 0 THEN tt=61
Outgoing: MIDI B0 tt pp

So in this example, the variable tt is the controller number; 60 when not pressed, and 61 when pressed.
