Cue jumping question

Hey guys

So I have begun getting into more complicated cue point work in Traktor. I have two songs that I’m mixing. The first song (CEOXiME - Scream) is being used for melody and vocal, while the second song (Audio Organism - Finding a Balance) is being used for a really interesting drum beat. Now I want to be able to jump through the cue points as they pass. I thought that my Cue/Play button would default to the last Cue point, but instead it jumps to the last Cue point I played from.

Is there a way to change this setting? I know how to set the controls to jump to previous, first, last and next Cue point, but I will need to set up my PadKontrol first and I was hoping to get this mix made.

I don’t expect it to be possible, but it’d be nice. :slight_smile:

Thanks

If you go into *preferences, hotkey & midi setup, midi setup,*deck then cuepoints you can assign different pads on the padKontrol to jump cue list 1 through to 6. use your cue/play button as normal and jump around the cue points using the new assignments.

Thats how i’m doing it at the moment, there’s probably a neater way of doing it though - anyone else got some suggestions?

Yeah, that I knew. I was hoping to only dedicate four buttons on my PadKontrol to cues, but maybe 6 instead… need to figure out how I’m going to map out my PadKontrol.
