Hi guys,

I'm looking at smart seek settings, and my current mappings are:

Player 1, Smart Seek: CCD CH4
Player 2, Smart Seek: CC16 CH5

How do I find out which button/knob/shift combination they are?

And what's the difference between Smart Seek and Smart Seek and Trigger Forward|Backward?

Actually there are 2 ways to smart seek for each player

For player 1 parameter d on channel 4 is used by pressing shift and moving the loop knob forward or backward and it is mostly used for moving the loops.

Also for player 1 smart seek (this time moving rapidly thru the track) parameter 16 channel 4 is used by pressing the shift button and moving the jog wheel.

Player 2 parameter d channel 5 is used in the same way but ion the right hand side using the shift and loop knob.

parameter 16 channel 5 is the shift button plus the right jog wheel.

if you take a close look at the controller you will see the word seek labeled by the loop knob and the jog wheels.

Smart Seek and Trigger Forward|Backward is used to map specific integer values (amount of the seek function) forward or backward with individual buttons. This is normally used when you have additional controller and want to map specific seek amount to different buttons.

I hope that helped.

That does help, thanks. I was looking to map the jump forward button so think I can do that. How I missed that those values mapped to the decks I'm not sure!

As a side question, I always have the Sync button mapped to something else to prevent any temptation to use it - I can never decide what to map it to though. Anyone else ever chane it?

I was thinking that you can map the Sync (since you don't use it) to switch deck control.
I am experimenting with that.
For instance
Pressing the Sync button on the left will toggle control from deck A to deck C.
Pressing the Sync button on the right will toggle control from deck B to deck D.

Now that is with 4 deck mode on the latest version.

Could try to map 'slip' too...

I see what you are saying but in that case it would be a duplicate since slip mode is already mapped to Shift+ Jog button on the UMCP-2

Didn't know that

Neither me or may be I misunderstood what he said.

In the UMCP-2 mapping from Mixvibes

Code: Select all

        <mapping>
          <events>
            <MIDI type="Note" parameter="0x7" channel="0x4"/>
          </events>
          <controls>
            <control alias="fam(Player)[0x1].SlipMode"/>
          </controls>
          <preset name="Toggler Button">
            <parameters>
              <parameter object="invert" key="on" value="off"/>
            </parameters>
          </preset>
        </mapping>


For player 1 and

Code: Select all

        </mapping>
        <mapping>
          <events>
            <MIDI type="Note" parameter="0x7" channel="0x5"/>
          </events>
          <controls>
            <control alias="fam(Player)[0x2].SlipMode"/>
          </controls>
          <preset name="Toggler Button">
            <parameters>
              <parameter object="invert" key="on" value="off"/>
            </parameters>
          </preset>
        </mapping>


The use of channels 4 and 5 indicates that the shift key is pressed at the time.

Yes you're right, but this not a direct access, this is a combination of 2 buttons, less practical imo.
