TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 HOW TO

For more info read the instructions below. Once you set everything up as Endo describes in the video above, you are able to set up the routing so that you can use the F1 in a headphone only type mix. Owning a kontrol F1 is now like owning 2 controllers in 1. I can really see people wanting to buy the F1 simply to use it for this mapping. The fact that you can easily jump into Flux Mode looping is also such a clever idea. You can manually change the speed of a track by nudging it, you can manipulate the key of a track too, which makes for really trippy effects. Despite only having the ability to use 4 cue points, it really didn’t cause an issue with the way I use Traktor.Įndo has thought of everything here, even skipping through a track whilst you are cueing it up is super easy. I love the way the looping controls and cue points are set up. This mapping is a lot of fun and is now a very ‘playable’ controller.

You just need to make sure the channel filter is set to on (see Endo’s video for full instructions). Using the filters will allow you to manipulate the Bass and Treble on each channel, leading to a smoother mix. Each deck has it’s own filter control which can be used very similarly to the EQ’s. The Mapping doesnt have any Bass, Mid, or Treble controls, but this doesn’t matter too much. Here is my 40 minute mix recorded using just my laptop, headphones and the F1, nothing else at all!

By watching my video below along with reading the rest of the article, you will learn how to set it up for this style of mix. This is where Endo’s mapping really shines.īy setting up the audio routing correctly you can simply connect your headphones and the F1 to the laptop and play a full set, even record it. Maybe you’re travelling on the train and want to record a set to kill time. Perhaps you’re feeling lazy and you want to just hang on the couch, but you want to have a mix. Maybe you live with other people, or it’s late at night and you are not able to connect up your speakers. For instance, when you want to simply sit on the couch and have a ‘headphone mix’. Whilst this new mapping works very well in a full set up, I personally found this mapping worked best for me in the smallest of set ups. Endo covers all controls in his video too. My initial session was a lot of fun and getting used to the controls was pretty easy and intuitive. After following the very clear instructions in his video ( see below) you will be up and running with the new mapping in minutes.

Using his mapping is like buying a completely new device. DJ Endo’s F1 MappingĮndo’s mapping has turned the F1 into a different controller. If you thought the Kontrol F1 was a waste of time or just wasn’t the controller for you, DJ Endo’s new mapping might change your perception of this awesome controller? In this article I take a look at DJ Endo’s new Kontrol F1 4 deck mapping and demonstrate how you might use this mapping to best suit your needs.
