Kontrol F1, loops and phrasing.
I've recently purchased a Kontrol F1, and it's so far been pretty neat.
I don't typically use sync with Traktor, unless I'm doing a long loop, or want to do a 3rd deck. For straight up mixing, I use CDJ-2000's in HID mode, and beat match manually. In other words, I don't bother to manually beat grid all of my tracks, but Traktor usually gets the beat detection down really quite good nowadays.
When I use the F1, I of course have Sync turned on, with a track deck as master. If I wait for an upcoming phrase to begin, I often find that when I trigger a loop Traktor "waits" 2, 3 or 4 beats before starting the loop. Hmm.
I can turn off Quantize, but that means I need to throw the beat in at the exact moment, not easy to do.
So why is this so? I thought Quantize would just cause Traktor to match to the closest beat, but it's almost as if the software has it's own sort of phrase detection it's trying to do.
Is there a way to turn this off?
