The full story
Traktor Pro lets DJs remap any MIDI controller, but the last good Mac tool for building those mappings, Xtreme Mapper, has not been maintained since 2016 and stopped working with Apple Silicon. A designer and long-time DJ with no programming experience set out to replace it.
With Claude Code, they built Super Xtreme Mapper, a native Mac app for creating Traktor MIDI mappings, in about five days, working from screenshots of the old app. Claude Code handled everything from parsing the proprietary file formats to deploying the project website.
