DDJ-SX2 Traktor Mappings

Hello,

I am a long time Traktor user. Picked up a DDJ-SX2 last week to replace my old DDJ-T1 and installed Pioneer's official TSI. Unfortunately (and yes, I know that documentation mentions that) it made my Traktor settings unbearably slow due to the fact that the mapping creates 14(!!!) separate devices. 

 

I takes 30-45 seconds just to open or close the settings screen, meanwhile Traktor UI is completely frozen.

 

Currently I am testing JaJa mappings, which seem to work faster due to the fact that they only create 4 devices vs 14, but I am seeing online reports from people who said JaJa mappings made their controller freeze in a middle of a gig.

 

Also, JaJa's mapping file is 4.3Mb and Pioneer's is 11Mb which, I am pretty sure, also contributes to the settings slowness.

 

No, I do not want to switch to Serato. And no, I am not going to pay $129 for rekordbox. 

 

So, my question is: Are there any plans to update/improve the official Traktor SX2 mappings?

To my knowledge, there are currently no plans to update any Traktor mappings.

Thanks, Mark. 

I just took all 10,021 MIDI commands from the official TSI file and put them all into a single device mapping. It did not work (i did not investigate why), but did not slow down Traktor at all, so it definitely has something do with the number of mapped devices this TSI creates. 

Let's hope that SX2 successor's TSI file will be backwards compatible and work better :)
