    Default cue button behaviour

    Hi DJs!

    I'm new to the forum.

    I just bought an VCI 100 1.2. Have been playing with for a few minutes and changed some preferences in traktor pro but there's something that's annoying me...

    In a cd player when you hit the CUE button the player goes to the CUE point, no matter if your player is paused or playing. But in Traktor if the deck is paused and you want to go to the cue point it sets a new cue point!... that's is driving me crazy!... specially because there's a button in my VCI which labeled as "set cue point".

    I looked on the midi mapping of the controller and only saw a way of assigning the cue button, but not it's beahviour in play/pause mode.

    żIs there any way of changing this?
    żAm I doomed?

    Thanks!

    You can use Jump to Active Cue or Cue/Play to do that. It's weird, but once you readjust it'll make sense.
    It's the FAQ. Read it.

    Hey thanks

    I will try that.

    Man this assign window is small....

    I wish I could push a button on the controller and the option got highlighted...

    Cue/Play does set the cue point when the deck is paused... so the only option is Jump to active cue.

    Is there a difference between the "numbered" cue points, and the "unnumbered" cue point?

    Yeah, there are a LOT of MIDI mapping features I wish they would add.

    Right, Cue/Play does not set a cue point, it jumps back to the current cue point. I thought that was what you wanted.

    The only difference is that the numbered cue points can be accessed by the Jump to Hotcue commands, the unnumbered ones can't.

    In my traktor, Cue/Play DOES set a cue point when the deck is paused.

    BTW I just configured my nano pad to the hot cue points Traktor is starting to ROCK!

    Hm... I'll need to test that.

    Well, the alternative is still Jump to Active Cue.

    I too would like to recreate the CDJ style of cueing. I remember you (Dvls) doing a cueing action where a cue point was set but it wasnt numberered? How did you configure that sort of behavior?

    that's just Set Temporary Cue. The same as hitting Cue/Pause when it's paused, or Set Cue/Loop In.

    So I suppose the question is, how do we enable CDJ cueing behavior? On CDJs the cue button does 2 things depending on whether or not the deck is paused or stopped, is that possible to do in traktor? Ill be looking into this myself and hopefully integrate this behavior into my current setup. Ill post my results upon completion.
