ive got the launchpad, and want to map it to use the remix deck/samples in traktor. no clue at all how to map, any help would be awesome
Google is your friend too 😉
Your Launchpad probably included either a pamphlet or a PDF with a MIDI Implementation chart indicating the MIDI Control Change (or MIDI Note Number) transmitted by each button. You should be able to map these to the four triggers of the Remix Decks.
NI has purposefully limited the MIDI mapping in the Remix Deck to ‘only’ the first four slots of each Remix Deck – so you will not be able to use the Launchpad as a replacement for an F1 controller.
Hope this helps.
i would have just ran the launchpad in ableton while using traktor at the same time for w/e controller or setup you are using
That makes too much sense… don’t you know this is suppose to be complicated? 😉
Only controllers that can fully utilize the Remix Decks are:
- Native Instruments F-1
- Midi-Fighter 3D
- Midi-Fighter Spectra
If youre trying to program the Launchpad for anything else, Novation actually released a Programmers Guide
or you can checked the mappings section in dj tech tools. I’m sure there is already a bunch made by other user

Working on a semi mapping for the Remix Decks with the bottom half of the Launchpad. I’ll post it for you tonight

- The main area consists of 2 fully color coded paginated trigger matrixes of 4x4. LED off = cell empty, LED amber = cell loaded, LED red = cell triggered but waiting for quantize, LED green = cell playing.
- Just hit the button to trigger/retrigger the corresponding sample cell.
- Hold SHIFT (round red button in the bottom right corner) and hit the trigger and it will stop a playing cell, delete the sample from a stopped cell and load the sample selected in the browser list to an empty cell.
- Hold CTRL (round green button in the bottom right corner) and hit the trigger and it will toggle the mute on a playing cell, trigger a stopped cell and capture a sample from an input selected in the deck's capture source selector
- Immediately under the matrixes are the color coded basic deck transport buttons. Yellow = Quantize On/Off, Green = Play/Pause, Red = Cue, Amber = Sync On/Off
- Immediately over the matrixes are Sample Page selectors. They lit up red respectively to the page you have selected.
- Over the Sample page selectors are 3 pages of 2 rows for Slot Functions. Page switches are the color coded round buttons to the right of the Slot Functions area. Red = Page 1, Green = Page 2, Amber = Page 3
- The default Page 1 (red) controls slot filter. Upper row increases and lower row decreases the filter frequency. Hold SHIFT button and hit a trigger in the upper row to toggle the filter on/off. Hitting a trigger in the lower row while holding the SHIFT button will reset the filter to default state.
- The Page 2 (green) slot volumes. Upper row increases and lower row decrease the volume of a respective slot.
- The Page 3 (amber/yellow) controls the slot functions. Hit the upper row to toggle FX On/Off on the slot. Hit the lower row to enable monitor on the slot. Hold SHIFT and hit the upper row to toggle Keylock On/Off. Hold SHIFT and hit lower row to toggle the slot's Punch Mode On/Off
- The top most round buttons over the 2 rows of Slot Functions control the extended deck transport functions: Deck Quantize selectors (amber) and Deck Capture Source selectors (red)
