Cue-Play mode on s4

so when i used to use my spin i would set my load cues and would use the CUP (cue-play) button to start the next track (as when you pressed then released it started playing from the cuepoint

on the s4 i have it set to cue play mode - on release.

but it only plays as long as i hit the play button to keep it going as i hold down (ie, cant use the cue button on the s4 to CUP – only on x1)

is there anyway to change this other than the controller editor? and if so how do i? id love to have that working for tonight (as i have a gig with the s4 and dont wanna screw up – thinking itll CUP but stop after i let go of the button and missing the mix)

anyone?

Just to clarify, You want it to play once you release the button?

4

yeah. rather than hold then press play manually. use the cue on the s4 to CUP.

i have alot of tracks when i do a pre planned mix where i have to quick swap songs (within 8 beats atleast) and it is very convienient to just hit CUP and have it go without the extra step after loading – i can do this on my x1 but have to swap modes and everything. (especially now that i have load into stopped deck only activated – saved my ass tonight – although the s4 did drop out and stop plahing on me randomly, but hitting play got it going again – maybe i bumped it :confused:

Add>Traktor>Kontrol S4>User Mapping then Add in>Transport>CUP (Cue Play) Then learn your play button and I think it’ll work like you want it. You’ll need to do it for each deck and it will override the current play button functionality.

thanks jojo, ill try it out when i get back from work

Or just hold the cue button 1-4 and as it starts playing press the play button and it will continue playing from your cue point.

After thinking about and trying my suggestion I’m not sure this is exactly what you want.

yeah see, i forget to do that (as the old mapping i had for my spin the cue button would release and start playing.

and @photojojo

i just got home, lemme boot up TS4 after i eat and ill have a go at it before i gotta go back to work.

in theory i want it to hold the cuepoint when held down and upon release start playing the track.

Bingo.

Thank you sir!

I think that you may need to include in your mapping a way of replicating the change of deck layers and the shift+play (keylock) and some others states (browse mode?) so it replicates the potential actions on the S4, unless you may have quite a few surprises soon.
