A controller mapping establishes a direct relationship between the control elements—knobs, faders, buttons, encoders—of your hardware MIDI controller and the various functions within the Traktor Pro 3 software interface. This guide walks you through every step of the journey, from the absolute basics of importing a mapping file to building advanced, dual-function control setups using modifiers.
