Quickest editing

The quickest way to edit is to change directly "Traktor Settings.tsi", and run traktor without a collection. When you finish edits, just restart traktor (no need to import mappings, etc)

  • backup collectio n.nml

  • open Traktor

    • remove whole collection

  • open cmdr

    • open TraktorSettings.tsi
    • do edits

  • traktor

    • close traktor

  • cmdr

    • save file with edits

  • restart traktor

  • repeat editing loop with cmdr always open

Development Quick Start

The simplest way to get started is to install VS2017 and implement a small feature via "cloning". This ensures the WPF "glue" will work immediatly.

Another simple approach is to read the check-ins of small features (small changes often touch a lot of files because of the WPF "glue")

Building using VS2017

  • install VS2017 community edition. Do not install VS2019!
  • install .net and c# development pack
  • get blend for windows as an individual component
  • Integrate VS2017 with github: link

What is the fastest way to edit mappings:

I've found that the fastest to edit mappings is to directly edit your settings, having an empty collection, and restart whole traktor every time.

Specific steps:

  • run CMDR first
  • open Traktor Settings.TSI directly
  • Use an empty collection (everything is backed-up on root/backups/collection)
  • create versioned backups of the TSI (CTRL+B)
  • Open traktor:
    • Fix bgs in the mapping
    • Only use the controller editor for on-off tests where you need to see the modifier state, etc
    • When ready to retest, close tracktor and then save in CMDR
