Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.

**joostiisme** · 03-23-2011, 04:04 AM

Even tho I started this thread myself, I have a few questions too:P

1: Anyone know how to map a LED to blink to the beat?
2: is it possible to give a row of LED's a VU meter function? So it moves to the audio level

X1 specific:
When in hotcue mode, while not playing (hotcues work as CUE not CUP). there is no way to release a pressed hotcue, and keep the track playing... The play button is used as hotcue now... this annoys me, when I jumped thru the track, found the spot i want to keep playing, I have to switch to normal mode...
or am I stupid? anyone know a solution?

yep, add in > select set+store hotcue.

if you don't want it synced... turn off sync.

Don't know, sorry! I've seen it done (on an lpd8 iirc) but not sure how. Again, it's probably somewhere in the global output LED mapping options but I can't look at Traktor right now.

I usually use mine alongside another controller so just hit the play button on there, So I'm not actually sure if there's a provision for this.

You could choose a different button to act as play in hotcue mode (eg one of the FX buttons). Find an unused modifier and (without deleting anything) map each hotcue button to set that modifier to 1, in hold mode).
Apply a M*=0 (*being your chosen modifier number) command to the current function of the button you want to use, and then map a play command to that button with a M*=1 condition.

Let me know if any of that isn't clear!

edit: oh, and @joostisme, what happens when you press the HOTCUE button while holding down a cue?

Will look at that when I get the chance.

tried that and it just stops playing, you're obviously sending another massage to the software. Thanks for the input!
