    Default Loading tracks: From your VCI or mouse?

    Hey guys,
    I've noticed that I really never use the VCI-100 dedicated buttons to load tracks into TPro. I just find that the mouse is much faster and easier.
    Anyone else doing this? And if so, has anyone remapped these keys to anything else?
    Thanks!

    I uses a bomes script that triggers a repeating timer when im holding down the button - this spams scroll list up or scroll list down. This piece of script was actually written by a forum user called Aanrii who i was working on a section of the VCI-100 mapping for Traktor 3 with a while back

    It makes using your VCI-100 to load tracks much nicer.

    I rather just use my mouse or keyboard to be honest because for the most part I need to search for the track first. It'd be different if I followed playlists for sure.

    i got one of the new aluminium macbooks and they've made it so that you can scroll by dragging 2 fingers up and down the touch pad, this is reallly handy. but yeah i never use the VCI for finding songs

    I try to use the controller as much as possible because the load buttons also set the monitor cues up and master select makes it a lot quicker for me anyway.

    it's also fun to setup one of the jogwheels to scroll through the tracklist with a modifier key.

    Can't you just turn on auto repeat under button options instead? Or does the script do other useful things as well?
