Traktor Pro 2 and Novation Launchpad Mapping Help

**Blayd** · 01-29-2015, 02:33 PM

Sorry to make another post, which has probably been answered here before, but I have followed guides and still I am having issues with it.

So I have my launchpad mapped to set cue 1-8 for each deck, that was easy enough, however, I cannot get the lights to work properly. And what I want is the light to remain dim when there is no cue, but light up brighter when there is a cue point correlating to that button.

I know this is probably real simple, but for whatever reason I get weird things like when I push the button, the entire 8 cue points light up in a different color, but only when I press it.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Sounds like you're currently using the Select/Set+Store Hotcue command to output all cues. Have a change and make them output trough this command:

Add OUT > Track Deck > Cue > Hotcue # Type (remember that each cue has a different output command)

Once you have made the output for your first cue and mapped it to a pad, navigate to the MIDI Range min and max value in the LED Options. This is where you can adjust the color for each cue type/state by tweaking the maximum value. (just click and drag and you should see that colors are changing as you get trough entire range 0-127)

Finally, if you want to create a hotcue button which corresponds to some specific cue type then use a modifier conditional.

Thanks so much, this did exactly what I wanted it to.
I appreciate your time, and patience.

I was playing with a similar idea over the weekend there, but I wanted mine to correlate with a colour for each type of cue. Green for loop, yellow for load etc.. I did get it, except with the midi range I have set, I can't seem now to turn the lights off once I delete the cue, it reverts to red, (which is being used as hotcue)
