To make sure Wave works with Traktor Pro 3, navigate to the top left corner of your screen to Preferences → Audio Setup. Make sure you've selected an audio device.
Mapping movements
- To map Wave to a slider or a knob in Traktor Pro 3 navigate to Traktor's Preferences -> Controller Manager.
- Under Device, select Add -> Generic MIDI
- In Softwave solo the function you want to map (the "S"). Make sure your function has a dedicated CC number.*
- Navigate back to Traktor's Controller Manager. Click "Add In..." and select the effect you'd like to assign (e.g. Dry/Wet Adjust or X-fader position).
- Click "Learn" and move Wave accordingly to make the link.
- You should now see the MIDI CC change next to the Learn button. Press "Learn" again when finished to disable the learning mechanism.
- In Softwave de-solo the function (the "S"). Now you've mapped a movement function to a parameter in Traktor Pro 3 successfully.
Mapping the Click function
- To map Wave to a button in Traktor Pro 3 navigate to Traktor's Preferences -> Controller Manager.
- Under Device, select Add -> Generic MIDI
- Click "Add In..." and select the button you'd like to assign (e.g. Play or FX unit 1 on).
- In Softwave add a "Click" function and give it a MIDI CC number.*
- You need to specify in both Softwave and Traktor Pro 3 what type of button interaction you want to use:
For a "Click" function (to toggle buttons on/off):- - In Softwave make sure the action is set to "Click" and the type is set to "Trigger" (lower left corner of the function window).
- - In Traktor's Controller Manager select "Toggle" under "Interaction Mode".
- - In Softwave make sure the action is set to "Momentary".
- - In Traktor's Controller Manager select "Hold" under "Interaction Mode".
- Click "Learn" and press the button on Wave (the one you chose in Softwave) to make the link.
- You should now see the MIDI CC change next to the Learn button. Press "Learn" again when finished to disable the learning mechanism.
- Now you've mapped one of Wave's buttons to a function in Traktor Pro 3 successfully.
* In order to map functions from Softwave to Traktor Pro 3 you need to attach a MIDI CC number to the function.
You can assign any CC number, but make sure each function has an individual number.
Softwave uses this number to communicate with your DAW.
- PB (Pitchbend) to Tilt, Pan, Roll and Vibrato.
- Notes (C, C#, D, E, F etc.) when using the Tap function.
- Notes and Key commands/Shortcuts (cmd+T, R, f12 etc.) when using the Click function.
