Behringer Cmd Mm 1 Advanced Mapping

Behringer CMD MM-1 Advanced Mapping

This is my Advanced mapping for the Behringer CMD MM-1. Its main focus was not to make a complete mapping for the whole CMD series, but instead to add the features that the mapping for the Novation Launchpad MK2 is missing. Mixxx mapping for Novation Launchpad 🦄 Thanks to Mevsme for the 3D-Model of the controller.

The concept

Similar to the mentioned Launchpad Mapping, this mapping features two modifiers: [SHIFT] and [CTRL] These allow each button to have up to four functionalities. They behave like the normal shift and control keys on your PC-Keyboard. Most of the features can be explained via the renderings where the functionalities are marked via the formatting of the Text ([SHIFT] and [CTRL])

Global variables

There are four global variables at the top of the script:

• CHANNELNUMBER: The standard channelnumber of the CMD MM-1 is 5 but it can differ. If thats the case you can change it here
• INVERTCOLOR: Swaps the colors which suits certain skins more
• STANDARDCHANNELSEQUENCE: Defines if the channels laid out in [1,2,3,4] or [3,1,2,4] sequence by default.
• STANDARDKNOBBEHAVIOR: Defines the default mapping of the knobs.

The top row

The Out1 and Out2 buttons didn't have any obvious functionality so they control the knobs of the EffectUnits. You can see that they control the super-knobs of FxUnit1 & FxUnit2 in normal mode (no formating), The mix-knobs of FxUnit1 & FxUnit2 in shift mode (italic), the super-knobs of FxUnit3 & FxUnit4 in ctrl mode (bold) and the mix-knobs of FxUnit3 & FxUnit4 in thirdMode (bold&italic).

You can see the L/R buttons besides the encoder as shift- and ctrlbuttons.

The Encoder in the middle is able to browse the library and jump on the previewdeck (16 steps) while holding shift. When pressing the encoder, the selected/highlighted track in the library gets loaded into the previewdeck. The Previewdeck can be played/paused when holding shift while pressing the encoder down.

The Cue Vol/Mix knobs have no alternative functionality.

Knob unit

The Knobs have three different mappings which can be cycled while in operation. (more on that later) The first one is the standard [High,Mid,Low,Quickeffect]-Combo. The second one shifts everything up and is mapped to [Gain,High,Mid,Low] which some DJs might prefer. The third one controls the EffectUnits [Meta1,Meta2,Meta3,Mix]. The Effectunit is based on the channel/deck number, so the channel that controls the knobs/buttons/faders of channel 1 also controls the knobs of EffectUnit1, Channel 2 controls EffectUnit2, etc.

MiddleButton/exShift ;-)

Normal: toggle maximize library, Shift: recenter Crossfader Ctrl: Cycle Knob assignment (swaps the mapping of the knobs as mentioned earlier. Third: Reassing Channel Sequence (Swaps between [3,1,2,4] to [1,2,3,4])

Buttons

[1]&[2] Buttons:

• Ctrl: Toggle Fx3&4 for desired Channel

[CUE] Buttons:

• Pre-Fader-Listening
• Load selected Track to Deck
• Enable Fx-PFL for Unit according to channel number.
• reset BPM-Fader FIXME

Faders

• Normal: Volume Fader
• Shift: Rate-/BPM-Faders
