Midi Fighter 3D MIDI Map – Traktor Mode

Midi Fighter 3D MIDI Map – Traktor ModeThis document describes the MIDI messages for the Midi Fighter 3D in Traktor Mode.Because of the differences in mapping between Traktor, Ableton, and other software DJTT has created differentmodes which are optimized for use with particular software. You can set the software mode using the MidiFighter Utility. The Utiliy is available here,Midi Fighter Utility Windows InstallerMidi Fighter Utility OS X InstallerThe Midi Fighter 3D sends and receives a wide range of MIDI messages. For simplicity this document dividesthem in to three categories. Button messagesMotion messagesLED control messagesThe Midi Fighter 3D sends and receives all messages on MIDI channels 3 through 5 by default, however youcan change the MIDI base channel by using the Midi Fighter Utility software. Because the Midi Fighter 3D uses 4consecutive channels the highest channel you can select is Channel 13.

Part 1: Button MessagesThe Midi Fighter 3D has a total of 26 buttons. 16 high performance arcade buttons with RGB backlighting.4 bank buttons with white backlighting.6 side auxiliary buttons with no backlighting.4 Banks ModeThe Midi Fighter 3D defaults to banked mode. In this mode the 16 arcade buttons send different notesdepending on which bank is currently selected.All arcade button notes are sent on channel 3. All other messages are sent on channels 4 – 6.The bank selection can be changed by pushing the desired bank button, the LED of the currently selected bankwill glow white. In Traktor mode the banks buttons also send midi signal as detailed in the diagram below.The 6 side buttons are fixed and send the same notes regardless of which bank is selected.The graphic below shows the midi note sent by each arcade button in each of the four banks.BANK 1 (C-1)BANK 2 (C#-1)BANK 3 (D-1)BANK 4 (D#-1)Figure 1.1 Four Banks Mode Enabled

4 Banks Mode DisabledIf you do not wish to use banks when creating your own midi mapping you can set the “Four Banks Mode” to“Disabled” using the Midi Fighter Utility software. When four banks mode is disabled the arcade buttons willsend the same MIDI data regardless of the state of the bank buttonsThere are two Four Banks Disabled options.1.Four Banks Disabled HoldIn this mode the bank buttons behave like any normal button, sending a note on when held, and a noteoff when released.2. Four Banks Disabled ToggleIn this mode the banks buttons have toggle functionality, changing state each time they are pressedthen released.The following diagram details the MIDI notes for all buttons when Four Banks Mode is disabled.Fig 1.2 Four Banks Disabled

Part 2: Motion MessagesThe Midi Fighter 3D carries an arsenal of electronic sensors which are used to track its orrientation and translatethis into a variety of MIDI messages allowing highly expressive control of your software. There are two types oforientation messages - edge tilt, and button rotation.Edge Tilt MessagesThe Midi Fighter 3D generates the following tilt based control change messages. All tilt messages are sent onChannel 4. Left Tilt – CC0Forwards Tilt – CC1Right Tilt – CC2Back Tilt – CC3In Traktor mode the Midi Fighter 3D also sends secondary tilt CC's. These operate over the second half of therange of the primary CC. Left Tilt Secondary – CC4Forwards Tilt Secondary – CC5Right Tilt Secondary – CC6Back Tilt Secondary – CC7While sitting flat on the table all four CC's will be at zero, when the Midi Fighter 3D is tilted on an edge it willsend a CC which varies from 0 – 127 corresponding to its tilt angle on that edge.The Midi Fighter 3D also sends a channel 4 F0 note on event when any edge CC is active, and note off eventwhen all edges are inactive, ie the Midi Fighter 3D is flat on the table.As well as a note to indicate if the device is in edge tilt or not, the Midi Fighter 3D sends a channel 4 F1 note onevent whenever it detects that it has been picked up. This is Pickup Mode.

Button Rotation MessagesThe Midi Fighter 3D also generates rotation or “pitch” CC's for each arcade button.There are 3 rotation modes, Relative (default), Absolute, and Disabled.The rotation messages are only sent when a button is pressed, and the device is in “Pick Up Mode”Relative ModeIn relative mode when an arcade button is pressed, then the device is rotated a CC is sent proportional to thechange in rotation from the point at which the arcade button was pressed. The CC is sent on channel 4 whenthe rotation is counter clock-wise, and channel 5 when the rotation is clock-wise .Fig 1.3 Relative Button CCAbsolute ModeAbsolute mode was created for the instance when you want to be able to point the Midi Fighter 3D in a certaindirection and always get the same CC value.This is primarily useful for FX like the beatmasher and gater where you need to be able to reliably jump betweendifferent rates.In absolute mode the Midi Fighter 3D takes a compass reading when it is first powered on, this is its homeposition. If the device is in pickup mode and button is pressed while in the home position a CC of 64 is sent, onchannel 4, if the Midi Fighter 3D is pointing 80 degrees clockwise to the home position it will send 127, and at 80degrees counter clock-wise from the home position it will send 0.If you use this mode it is important to always connect the device only once it is positioned correctly.Fig 1.4 Absolute Button CC

Part 3: LED Control MessagesIt is possible to use MIDI messages to control both the LEDs of the bank buttons as well as the LEDs of thearcade buttons. By sending a MIDI out on the same note as a given arcade button you can use velocity tochoose its color, brightness, and several different basic animations, bank button control is limited to on/off state.Bank Button LEDsThe ability to control the bank button LEDs varies depending on which Four Banks mode the device is currentlyset to.Four Banks EnabledWhen four banks is enabled there is no capability to change the state of the LEDs. In this mode any MIDI outmessage will force the device to switch the to the bank selected by the relevant button.Four Banks Disabled HoldBy sending a MIDI out message with a non-zero velocity on the same note as the MIDI in for any of the bankbuttons you can turn the LED on, sending a 0 velocity or note off will turn this LED off.Four Banks Disabled ToggleIn this mode there is no control of the LED as the LED will always reflects the state of the toggle.

Arcade Button LEDsSending a Note On message of the same pitch (note) as a given arcade button will overide the defaultinactive/active color state of the buttons illumination.The velocity of this Note On is used to set the color or animation for that buttons LED.VelocityEffect0 or Note off Default LED behaviour01-65Reserved66White67Black68Pink69Low Pink70Purple71Low Purple72Blue73Low Blue74Cyan75Low Cyan76Green77Low Green78Chartreusse79Low Chartreusse80Yellow81Low Yellow82Orange83Low Orange84Red85Low Red86Reserved87 - 10215 brightness levels of inactive color, 102 is brightest103 - 11815 brightness levels of active color, 118 is brightest119RGB Color CycleAnimation120Red CycleAnimation121Green Cycle Animation122Blue Cycle Animation1230.5 Hz or beat Active Color Blink Animation1241 Hz or ½ beatActive Color Blink Animation1252 Hz or ¼ beat Active Color Blink Animation1264 Hz or 1/8 beat Active Color Blink Animation1278 Hz or 1/16 beatActive Color Blink Animation
