HELP: DJing with Guitar Hero Revisited On Traktor 2 Pro Posted on: 08.09.2013 by Robbyn Student I know that the whole DJing with a guitar game control is an old concept. Ean posted this video above with him going wireless with a GH guitar 5 years ago. However, a lot of controllerism and digital DJing has changed since 2008. There have been several upgrades to Traktor since people started mapping game controls to their DJ gear. Remix Decks and new effects have been introduced with the latest Traktor version 2.6.x. New controls like the NI F1, Z1, and others have been launched since then. That being said... 1) Is there a new and improved way to directly map a Guitar Hero control to Traktor? More to the point, could you possibly map a Remix Deck or maybe even two Remix Decks to a Guitar Hero controller? 2) If so, could someone guide me through a step-by-step tutorial updating myself and the rest of us on how to create the mapping? 3) How would such a new mapping of a Guitar Hero control be used to trigger a combination of 'Instant Gratification'-style effects combinations? 4) Anyone who has an older Guitar Hero mapping, could you make your .tsi file for that in the "Mappings" section on DJTT? I'm asking because I could never get the original instructions to work well enough to break it out during a live gig. I have everything I need ready to go. I have a couple of dusty Guitar Hero guitars - one wired XBOX360 and one wireless PS2 - a copy of Xpadder, and a USB-to-PS2 bluetooth converter to keep one of the guitars 100% wireless. Currently, I am using Traktor Pro 2.6.3 on Windows 7 with an S2 and MIDI Fighter 3D. Go forth and multiply. May the Force be with you ...and all that good stuff. | |

So let's plug in...grab some safety gear...I'm strapped down and taking notes. Class is is in session. |

Are there any other stable signal to MIDI that could replace Rejoice so I can move to the next phase of this project?? |
Robbyn Student 09.09.2013 | Hell yeah! Stewe the MIDI map Guru is on the case! Video NSFW I feel better already!

Kellie Myrum 17.09.2013 | 50 bucks? I'd get a brain jr and try install it in to guitar Probably upgrade some more buttons too! Good hunting man, that Mijoy looks very intuitive and easy to work with. Let me know what you decide to go for I can help you with mappings when you come to that page. |

Kellie Myrum 16.09.2013 | Oh I see you're running 64-bit. Unfortunately Rejoice is not jet supported.. Same applies to many other free HID-MIDI converters! Check out "glove pie" and "controller mate". |
Robbyn Student 15.09.2013 | Yes sir. I ran it as an administrator. The same error pops up. |
Kellie Myrum 15.09.2013 | Did you try going right click and run as administrator? |

Kellie Myrum 09.09.2013 | Lol Thanks for vid man, really appreciate it In order to map any relative continues controls such as Drama sweep is requireing you'd need to grab some software that actually converts signal to MIDI and not to keystrokes.

Kellie Myrum 08.09.2013 | Guitar Hero is HID device right? You have any software to convert signals to MIDI so Traktor can pick them up? |
