Advice on mapping a specific function in Traktor Pro
When I had Traktor 3 it was very easy to set up the midi mappings with my controller to something that I was comfortable working with. Now I’ve upgraded to Traktor Pro, though, and I’m at a loss as to how to achieve the same mapping.
For simplicity’s sake, I am working with only two buttons for my transport controls:
One of which would play from a cue point as soon as I pressed it, and would continue playing when I let go of the button. This is what I’m having trouble mapping correctly. I’ve watched some tutorials, and while they are helpful none of them address my problem.
I want to be able to hit this play button five times, and have it play from the same cue point five times, and then just keep playing on it’s own. I bet it’s incredibly simple, but I just cannot find a way to do this.
The other would stop playback and return to the cue point when pressed, but I’ve got that down.
Edit: I figured I would clarify: Because I’m only using a single tiny controller, I only plan on working with just one cue point that I can drop using another button, then trigger whenever I want.
Much appreciated! I just had to change the control type for the “Play/Pause” command to “direct” after mapping both of those controls to the same button.
It’s really flexible. I’m using a modifier to allow the stop button to drop a new cue point so at any time I can theoretically just start juggling/triggering cool stuff.
When using this controller I would only like to work with one cue point. Is there any way to assign a midi command that would allow me to simply overwrite Hotcue #1 with the current song position one whenever the button on the controller is pressed? I’m working with a very simplistic controller here.
Edit: I’ve figured it out: I bypassed Hotcues altogether, there is an option to use only the active cue point. I think I’ll upload my mapping when I’m done if anyone’s interested.
i use a similar set up.
