Maschine & Tracktor
Initial notes
There are a number of functions within the Maschine Traktor template which are not documented.
This is a working document which from which future modifications will be made.
The Traktor output entries to LEDs are not shown but will be made more explicit later on.
The format is the Maschine button name and then the Traktor function.
Buttons with no function are not generally not included.
Global Buttons
| Modifier Buttons | (Top Left Corner) | |
| Maschine Name | Traktor Function | Type |
| SNAP | Set M1 to 1 | Hold |
| AUTO WRITE | Set M2 to 1 | On/Off switch |
In the default template all the pad side buttons light up when the modification keys are selected and stay that way.
This is a bit confusing and should be changed.
The Knob pages < and > are lit but and are fixed to paging through Knob pages.
Additional functionality can be assigned to the knobs on different pages.
Groups buttons
| Traktor Deck A | Traktor Deck B | ||
| A | B | C | D |
| FX assign Effect 1 | FX assign Effect 1 | FX assign Effect 2 | FX assign Effect 2 |

Transport buttons
| < | > |
| Load to track A | Load to track B |
| REC | ERASE |
| Track List Up | Track List Down |
Knob Pages
Page 1 – currently only one page because pages do not work with Traktor in separating controller functions. That is a controllers on different pages all work at the same time which is not what you want. Therefore for Traktor modifier keys need to be set.
Left to Right Buttons
| Modifier status M1=0 M2=0 | Modifier status M1=1 (SNAP held) | |
| Maschine Button | Traktor Function | Traktor Function |
| for Traktor Effects 1 | Traktor Effects 1 (advanced Mode) |
|
| 1 | On/Off | Select the Delay FX |
| 2 | Effect button B1 | Select the Flanger Pulse |
| 3 | Effect button B2 | Select the Reverb |
| 4 | Effect button B3 | Select the Digial LoFi |
| for Traktor Effects 2 | Traktor Effects 2 (advanced Mode) |
|
| 1 | On/Off | Select the Delay FX |
| 2 | Effect button B1 | Select the Flanger Pulse |
| 3 | Effect button B2 | Select the Reverb |
| 4 | Effect button B3 | Select the Digial LoFi |
Explanation:when the SNAP (sets M1=1) button on Maschine is held the Traktor M1,modifier value, is set to 1 and if a Knob button is then pressed and the effect unit is in Advanced mode then a specific effect will be loaded.

Pad Pages
The pad pages selection buttons A-D used for switching on deck FX.Changes to the Maschine pad functions in Traktor are done by the Modifier buttons above.
** Traktor appears to use C4 as middle C while the Controller editor displays notes based on C3 as middle C. So a pad 1 in the controller editor shows C-1 while for Traktor the value is read as C0. Just mentally move up an octave in the Controller editor since the actual values send out are the same.
