Getting started to unleash the mega power of the AKAI APC20 + AKAI APC40 together in an ultimate combi, by many named the unofficial APC80! Started to create an ultimate mapping for Traktor Pro which combines the forces of ‘unlimited’ buttons and faders.
Also I want to incorporate the Traktor S4 funtionality into Traktor Pro, but not 100% sure yet whether I do want to create this for Traktor Pro , or just already use Traktor S4 for this.
Check out the teaser vid below.
APC40 Midi Mapping v3.00 for Traktor

It is almost becoming an addiction to create the ultimate TSI mapping for the APC40. In the beginning I purely focussed on having a TSI on the APC which gives me additional options and makes more functionalities available next to my Reloop Digital Jockey II I own as well. But now I moved to a TSI supported the APC40 as a standalone deck featuring every hot function in traktor needed while playing the tracks!
I’ve created a whole new version of the TSI and remapped some old notes, so please check out the new image to be sure you understand the map.
Main Functions
Check out these main functions this mapping supports:
In short the main functions (the rest can be checked in the image map describing the mapping functions):
- Full cueing options on 2 decks
- Great loop functionality, including different loop lengts and relooping
- 2 advanced fx units supporting delay, slicing, 8bar sampling and gater fx (don’t forget to use 2 advanced fx together and play with fx on fx3 while sampling it on fx4!)
- 2 chained fx units supporting various fx’s with fx1 supporting cool sound fx and fx2 supporting beat-fx with delays (don’t forget to use 3 fx together, for example all fx on fx unit 4, which give you awesome delayed gater sounds while playing with the beatmasher as well!!)
- dry/wet indepent per fx unit!
- Xone 4 EQ supported on both decks!
- Filter effect for both deck
- and much more.. (volume faders, crossfader, auto grid-cueing on cue1 etc..)
The mapping keeps on growing but it is now already very grown up and good to use in every set. Be sure to check out the pre-conditions of this map (see image) to fully use the TSI including LED’s etc.

Next beta version APC40 Midi Mapping for Traktor Pro
20I justed posted that other movie including the TSI, but I’ve already got a new version of this TSI for Traktor Pro (for your APC40). Wen I posted the previous TSI, that one was already outdated but I still had some work to do before publishing the new one.
Check out this short movie to get an impression of what you can do with this TSI already:
Most important is that you turn on 4 FX units and set 1 and 2 to chained, and the other units 3 and 4 to advanced. The rest will be selected automatically. Also set your APC40 to dumb mode or else it won’t work well! This TSI is still not a final version as many buttons and knobs still needs to be mapped, but a lot of fun can already be archieved by playing with this TSI. Note that I have a Reloop Digital Jockey II on the side so I didn’t map EQ buttons for example, but there is still room enough to map this yourself!
Have fun with this TSI which you can download via the link below:
