crossfader Hamster in Traktor Scratch Pro

[DJPhaidon]

Yeah, Nem0nic is on the money:

1. Set up 2 maps to your crossfader midi control
2. Put one of the maps in invert mode, so it's the opposite way round.
3. Set up a modifier to toggle between 2 values when you press a hotkey/midi button
4. make one of the crossfader maps work when the modifier is in one toggle state, and make the other map work when in the other toggle state

The downside of this is that when you toggle the modifier, then move the crossfader, it will jump from one side to the other, you could get around this by setting the 2 crossfader maps to soft takeover mode.

What you won't be able to get around is the fact that when you're using the crossfader in hamster mode (the inverted map), the on-screen crossfader will be at the opposite end to your hardware crossfader, just something to be aware of.

To get around this problem with the crossfader, you could map it out so that instead of AC-BD being left and right on the crossfader, you could invert it with a simple press of a button, so it would be BD-AC. Then you would have instant invert without having to worry about soft takeover and having the onscreen fader being opposite of what it really is.

This would require a modifier, but I think it would achieve better results. I'm not sitting in front of Traktor right now otherwise I would give an example mapping.

what is this hamster mode used for and why is it called hamster?

ain't hamsters small furry animals?
