Kontrol X1 - small modification

I like the X1 but dont really get the way the looping section was setup. I'd like to use loops for buildups which is kinda hard when you loop right before the drop and the endpoint is moved by turning the knob, so when you release the loop you dont hit the drop right away unless you have cues setup (right?).

And I think when you do a manual loop using the in and out buttons and then want to shorten it using the knob sometimes the knob was set to like 1/16 and when you turn it once more you end up going from a 4 count loop directly to a 1/32th loop, which sucks

Also I dont like to press the knob down to release the loop as its kinda hard to push it and other buttons at the same time^^

So what I'd like to do is change the mapping a bit:
-remove the non-quantized in/out move by pressing in/out and move the knob
-pressing the in button when a loop is running half the loop by moving the IN point
-pressing the out button will release the loop

I have looked at the mappings in Traktor but don't really get it :confused:
could anyone help me out here?
