    Default Play cue when pressed

    Alright, forgive my lack of proper terminology. I'm using Traktor Pro with the Numark Mixtrack. Is there any way with the controller or software (ideally both) that you can set a cue point in a particular part of a song that would serve as a sample? For example:

    Say in a song there was a vocal sample that said oh, idk, something like "Drop the beat". Is there a way you can set a cue point at the beginning of that sample, and then only have that deck play while you hold down a button?

    If the tracks not playing then you can just hold a cue point and it will keep playing until you release it and then it snaps back to the cue point.

    Oh AWESOME! Ok, one more question - Is there a way with the Mixtrack you can 'move' or 'scroll' through your cue points?

    Normally, the way that's done is to simply have one button per cue point (This brings things a lot closer to the arcade button concept on Eans VCI-100).

    If you wish, you could map each of the four buttons on the bottom of the control to a certain cue point.

    Aren't there four buttons beneath the jog wheel or roughly the same size?

    ...Yes, but if I were to map them to cue points what buttons would I use to play / sync etc?

    If you did want to be able to scroll through set either a knob or two (inc & dec) buttons to a modifier and then use that modifier condition on your cue button
