Preferred controller mappings w/ Octa

Hi!

Having returned to Octanation, I thought I’d FINALLY make good use of my nice Faderfox EC4.

Let’s talk about preferred controller layouts!

The EC4 is a 4x4 grid of encoders, as is the Midi Fighter Twister, but anything goes!

My initial ideas were:
Group 1– Level (or AMP!) and Cue for each track
Group 2– RTRG and RTIM for each track
Group 3– BASE, WDTH and Q for tracks 1–4
Group 4– BASE, WDTH and Q for tracks 1–4

But I’m wondering already if that’s the most performable layout, maybe not. Would love to hear some road warriors chime in on this.

There’s also this thread with a now dead link to a Launch Control XL layout by Neil Baldwin, for reference: Launchpad Control XL - Octatrack Mapping
