At the moment I am getting a bit lost in all the possibilities with Traktor and all the mappings and effects settings. While a lot of things are possible I need to clarify what I want to accomplish.

The main directions are to emphasize cue jumping to restructure the music with some effects and EQ to add a bit of impact.

So the mapping for Maschine will be:

The default Trackor mapping plus:

• Moving the modifier keys to the pad control buttons.
• Use the temp knob as a basic X-Fader (possibly tranistion the Mid frequencies rather than the Low frequencies)
• remap the effects loading buttons and set the default values.
• change the loop move to + and – 1 bar.

This should also make the maintenance of the working mapping easier. The small window in Traktor for mapping controllers is very restrictive once you start adding in a lot of additional functions.

Sometimes real life gets in the way but these are my current music projects:

1. Eve races music. In the on-line game Eve there are 4 playable races each with their characteristics. I  have an idea to create music which they themselves may create. They may fit in with no specific  contemporary genre. The music structure will be created by algorithm s from Critters with instruments  created by Reaktor,  Absynth and Sculpture.

2. Maschine with Scenario. This project is to try and create performances and music using the Maschine as a MIDI controller for the Reaktor ensemble Scenario.

3. Luk Tung DJing. Luk Tung is a country style music from Thailand which I experiment with in Traktor and related DJ programs. The goal is public performance.
