Hi, I have done a very complete mapping of this controller for Traktor Pro 4, but the operation of the LEDs with the MIDI does not seem to work as it should. Has anyone managed to get it to work better than what is shown in the video?
With the pioneer controllers, it can be improved with the “controller range” and “midi range” functions, but with this controller it is impossible, I am sure it is poorly implemented by Denon. The “channel assign” of the effects doesn’t seem to be implemented well either, it only has one midi message when it should have 5, one for each channel and another for the master. I’m surprised by these failures. (The only solution left is to have hidden commands, but I haven’t discovered them yet).
On the other hand, has anyone found the “midi table”? It is not on the download website.
Thanks!

Hi,
to find out which midi messages will be send out by the controller you can use a midi monitor like this:
for me it’s working very well
on the internet i found this:
a virtuell midi keyboard, with this you can send any midi message to the controller, if you need to analyze the midi communication
(i’ve never used it)
On the Denon DJ download website it doesn’t appear, and if you ask the Denon team they will tell you that it doesn’t exist, at least that’s what they told me when I asked for the SC LIVE 4 midi table.
I made a start on a Denon Prime 4/4+ mapping for Traktor a couple of months back. It has the basic functions now, but stalled because it got quite complicated with the pad buttons and the different possible options, and you will need to know the relevant sysex messages to make it work more fully.
This might give you some idea: github. com /whanake-music/denon-prime-4-analysis. This guy also did a Mixxx mapping for the device so you can see what kind of things are needed.
I wanted to try and use JZZ javascript midi library in the QML to try and send the sysex at the right time but couldn’t get it working yet. I was also prepared to write a separate nodejs service that could capture midi messages from the controller as input and transform them into whatever I want as output (eg. sysex or maybe HID) but if anyone here wants to help me with that then please give me a shout.
You can read where I got to with it here: community.native-instruments. com /discussion/35296/feature-request-traktor-midi-mapping-for-denon-prime-4
I would love to get it working as closely as possible as the Prime 4+ is a lovely device but I want Traktor with it.
(sorry for broken urls - new users cannot post links… i’m sure you’ll work it out)
