Denon DJ SC Live 4 Traktor Mapping

Hello! I’ve made Traktor Pro Mapping for Denon DJ SC Live 4

Almost all buttons work the same way as in Engine OS. Some special definitions:

Browser unit

  • Browser encoder push - open/close Only browser view
  • Back/Fwd Buttons - Favorite playlists jump back/forward
  • < Load - load selected track do deck A if deck 1 active or deck С if deck 3 active
  • Load > - load selected track do deck B if deck 2 active or deck D if deck 4 active
  • Shift + < Load/Load > - instant doubles A/B
  • View (hold) - load selected in browser track to preview player and play it
  • View (hold) + Browser encoder turn - move through track in preview player

Decks

  • Beatjump - beatjump
  • Shift + Beatjump - beatjump step size selector
  • Sync - sync
  • Shift + Sync - set as Master
  • < / > (Buttons to the right to Pad Mode buttons) - semitone up/down
  • Shift + > - assign FX Unit 4 to current deck

Jog display

  • Deck is unloaded - “Deck [number]” only

  • Deck is loaded - additional elements on, “Deck [number]”, playhead pointer to current deck according to Traktor Pro interface deck position

Pad Modes

Cue - hot cues

Loop - fixed size loops:

  • Pad 1 - 1/8
  • Pad 2 - 1/4
  • Pad 3 - 1/2
  • Pad 4 - 1 (color mark)**
  • Pad 5 - 2
  • Pad 6 - 4 (color mark)**
  • Pad 7 - 8
  • Pad 8 - 16 (color mark)**

Roll - rolls. Hold only

Slicer When stems track is loaded

Stems control

  • Pad 1 - Drums Mute On/Off
  • Pad 2 - Bass Mute On/Off
  • Pad 3 - Other Mute On/Off
  • Pad 4 - Vocals Mute On/Off
  • Pad 5 - Hold + BPM FX Select encoder turn - Drums volume adjust. Hold + BPM FX Parameter encoder turn - Drums filter adjust(Hold + BPM FX Parameter encoder push - Drums filter off/on)
  • Pad 6 - Hold + BPM FX Select encoder turn - Bass volume adjust. Hold + BPM FX Parameter encoder turn - Bass filter adjust(Hold + BPM FX Parameter encoder push - Bass filter off/on)
  • Pad 7 - Hold + BPM FX Select encoder turn - Other volume adjust. Hold + BPM FX Parameter encoder turn - Other filter adjust(Hold + BPM FX Parameter encoder push - Other filter off/on)
  • Pad 8 - Hold + BPM FX Select encoder turn - Vocals volume adjust. Hold + BPM FX Parameter encoder turn - Vocals filter adjust(Hold + BPM FX Parameter encoder push - Vocals filter off/on)

When non stem track is loaded

  • Nothing at this moment. Wait for the ideas

Mixer

  • Sweep FX - Mixer FX. Choose your favorite in Traktor Settings. Every FX can be turned off
  • Channel VU-Meters - works almost good, but dynamic is not best. Anyway - it works
  • Master VU-Meters - works almost good, but dynamic is not best. Anyway - it works

BPM FX

It assigned to FX Unit 4 in group mode. Works only first FX slot

  • Select encoder - select FX
  • Channel Assign Switch - in all position except 3 - assign FX unit 4 to all decks. Kinda master FX. In position 3 - “deassign” FX Unit 4 from all decks. **
  • For assign FX Unit 4 to only needed decks use Shift + > (Button to the right to Pad Mode buttons)
  • Amount - Dry/Wet
  • BIG BLUE BUTTON - FX On(Button 1 in Group Mode)

To use this mapping you need to import it in Controller Manager settings. I thing you will need to check Effect Settings in import settings parameters

After mapping import check IN and OUT port for all 4 mappings parts.

And do not forget about audio setup

If there will no Beatmasher 2 FX in Roll mode probably you will need to manualy setup this FX in mapping: Choose Device - Denon SC Live 4 VT LEFT PADS. Go to mapping table, sort it by comment column, find Roll Beatmasher Deck A comments. Choose Effect 1 Selector among them and then choose Beatmasher 2 in Set to Value field.

Repeat for deck C in this part. Then go to Device - Denon SC Live 4 VT RIGHT PADS and do all for deck B and D

At this moment i don’t test inputs of the SC Live 4 and don’t map their knobs. Will do it later.

There is one problem that i can’t solve at the moment - channel fader in Traktor Pro always up on startup regardless of the position of real faders on the SC Live 4. It needed to move each fader a little to make Traktor see real position.

Test this mapping! Push the buttons, move the faders, turn the encoders, look up for bugs :slight_smile: I would be grateful for feedback and new ideas.

While some sell their mapping, others simply share the fruits of their labor in a community spirit.

We can only encourage this kind of initiative.

Congratulations on the work accomplished and for sharing @Vi_Ti

nice ,do you have mapping for traktor prime 4 +?

I don’t have prime 4+ But there is prime 4 near me. And maybe i can test it. It is possible that mappings for sc live 4 and prime 4 can be very similar. At least some mixer midi channels are the same You can try my mapping with prime 4+ and who knows - may be many things will work

Don’t forget to post it on this site…

… where most Traktor users go search for MIDI maps.

Yes, I already did that. But there is no special section for SC Live 4, so I placed the mapping in the N/A section.

If there is a way to contact the moderators for this particular question, I would be glad to receive advice.

They have a forum…

… maybe the question has already been answered there or you can create a new post asking how to add a new controller to the list.

i test the mapping with prime 4 plus it doesnt recognize.

@gbe386 I’ll try. Thank you!

@andrew_nicoire Yesterday i tested my mapping with Prime 4 and i can say about 80% of the mapping works well. Of course it need some edits but not a big number. BUT i encountered some wild thing - jog behavior is a weird! Midi messages that comes from jog wheel on Denon prime 4 differs very much from the such ones on SC Live 4. I spent a lot of time but still didn’t succeed with jog wheels. Other things such as transport buttons, pads, EQs and faders works. Need some work with LEDs but nothing too complicated

I have permission to freely access the device so i will finish mapping adaptation in a few weeks i think. but those jogs are driving me crazy for now :melting_face:

P.S. On windows you need to install driver for prime 4 from here Software downloads, manuals and documentation - Denon DJ And in midi In-Port Out-Potr you need to select Prime 4 Control Surface
