MIDI in Scratch LIVE 101 by Josh Lloyd, Serato
Deciding which controls to map
Since I'm using turntables, I decide against mapping any of the internal mode playback controls (pitch, play etc) to the MicroKONTROL, and focus on the more advanced performance controls. My list is:
Cues
Temp cue
Loops
Auto loops
Library navigation
Looking at my controller surface, I decided which MIDI controls would suit mapping to what SSL controls, and came up with the following:

So down each side of the trigger pads, I have the first 4 cue points for each deck, then at the bottom in the center there's the temp cue point and trigger for each deck.
On the keyboard, there's all the auto loop keys for each deck across the white keys, loop in/out and loop on are up on the black keys, and in the middle is load left and right, directly below the knob I'll assign to navigating the library.
