overit Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Dunno if anyone else uses Itch software by Serato but....One of it's biggest drawbacks has been that there are no options to implement midi map changes at all.So this chap from Germany has generated a little app he calls "MITCH" (MIDI TO ITCH) which can translate any midi button to any keystroke available in the ITCH GUI.So it isn't really full midi-mapping but: if there is a keyboard shortcut for a function, you can set that function to be controlled by a midi pad.I have saved a preset so I now have an Akai LPD-8 which triggers individual drum hits or other sounds from the SP6 sampler within ITCH. Effectively it adds a 16 pad drum machine to my 4 deck DJ rig. Others use it for triggering cues, loops etc.He is also now working on a continuous controller mapping (so far no vol/fx/faders or knobs) as there are no keyboard shortcuts for these. The whole iTCH community is waiting for the devs to bring full midi control out for that. In the meantime MITCH is a nice workaround which is stable. And he has made it available to Mac and Windows users.Thread on serato forums on MITCH:http://serato.com/forum/discussion/623285MITCH Developer DL site:http://irieelectronics.iriemovement.de/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
