    Default TSP2 - Instant Doubles?

    I am so close to dropping £550 on a new laptop, and £479 on TSP2 - it hurts. I've been doing some research - and it seems like TSP2 WOULD do pretty much what I want it to be able to...

    I'd have a 4-deck set-up. 2 decks controlled by timecode vinyl, 1 sample deck, and one deck to use for instant doubles.

    Instant doubles is something I need info on:

    I want to be able to instant double from one timecode deck to the other, and the same in reverse. Normal instant double behaviour, right? I ALSO want to be able to instant double from either of my timecode decks, to the spare deck, to free up a timecode deck for scratching.

    Anyone know if this is possible?

    The duplicate deck command and some fun with modifiers. The S4 has this mapped out if you hold down the browse button. CUE lights blink, you select the source deck, then pick the destination, bingo.

    Sounds promising! I'll be (hopefully) using a couple of controllers with TSP2 (Launchpad, UC-33e, Dicers) - so if it can be done with an S4 I'm guessing it can be done with other controllers...

    You can just drag the playing on song onto a deck and it instant doubles. For sure you can map it too

    Pretty much anything can be mapped. This ain't serato software lol. Just map duplicate deck A/B/C/D to buttons on your controller.

    Theres an option in preferences to duplicate deck if loading the same track, which means if you load a track that is already loaded in another deck it produces an instant double. This means if your loading the same track; whatever button on your controller or keyboard you use to load a track into a specific deck can basically be your instant double button. This is how I do instant doubles, no mapping involved. If you don't mind mapping, there are other ways to do instant doubles that maybe you would prefer over the way I do it.

    I'm beginning to like the sound of Traktor - mapping sounds like it's completely configurable...

    Nice.

    I'm trying to get my head around Traktors master tempo... Do effects for each deck stay sync'd to each indvidual (timecode controlled) deck? I imagine that each deck could be at a different tempo to the master tempo - in this case, which tempo do the effects (stuff like LFOs/beatmashers/gaters, etc...) follow?

    (Is it similar in any way to Abletons master tempo?)
