    I used an app called TouchOSC for a while. It basically transforms your iPad into a midi controller that you can do with whatever you want. Nice software and mappable to Traktor, VDJ and Serato DJ.
    However I do no longer use it, as I just like to use “pads” that have some form of tactile feedback and went back to a standard midi controller.

    Definitely use TouchOSC on your iPad-it’s completely customizable and will be mappable for anything you like-highly worth the $4.99 app price.

    Would be possible to map the sample decks in traktor? İ use a reloopdj3me but its 4 channel (2) physical channel controller and i find it clumsy when trying to use the sample decks. İ want to try and avoid switching to use the sample decks on the controller and maybe use the ipad for sample deck control instead.

    Sure map TouchOSC to control the sample decks. Should not be a problem at all.

    Lemur is the expensive alternative to TouchOSC. It provides a scripting language that can help you design inter-modulated controls and a “physics” engine: imagine an x-y pad where the “touch point” can travel on x and y axis with user defined speed, friction and tension – it can easily create native LFOs.

    The app is the continuation of a once dedicated hardware and I totally recommend it! 😉

    im using traktor pro 2.5 with the novation twitch, but i’m not happy with the way the twitch handles traktor effects… can i use my ipad as an effects unit next to my twitch? and how would i do this? thanks!

    You could use one of the afforenmentioned “midi control surface designer programs” (thats what they are really) TouchOSC or Lemur (I personally recommend Lemur) and not only control Traktor effects with it but actually (due to new ways of interacting with midi controls) go far beyond the typical sound they could-would produce.

    Imagine X,Y pads, modulating faders-knobs which interact with each other, custom made touchable LFOs and all sorts of wicked stuff.

    TO further understand check out Lemur’s user library to see what is currently possible to be created (again this is ONLY a speciment of what its users have created, your imagination is the limit here)

    http://liine.net/en/community/user-library/

    or these Traktor specific ones

    http://liine.net/en/community/user-library/tag/16/

    Or (another small example), how about controlling Traktor effects and other parameters by moving your iPad in the air

    😉

    P.S. edit: NO Im not in any way affiliated with Liine-Lemur lol. I have been using midi controllers since 2003 and when I got Lemur it was the first time I ever felt “free” to realize my dream controller, thats all – and it was the first time I actually felt limited by my own finger-skills and imagination rather than by the surface in front of me! 😉
