**Deleting cue points without snapping back to them while track is playing?** Is it possible to delete a cue point/hot cue on a track that is playing without having the tune snap back to the cue point you’re wanting to delete? Say I hit an unassigned cue button by mistake it will assign it to what ever part of the track is currently playing. But if I want to delete it on the fly (say in case I might forget to do it after the track has finished) it will snap back to it as it deletes it. Is there a way to not make this happen? Thanks ---

ahhh… I suffered from this for a year… trick is to set whatever modifier you’re using to delete to zero when your triggering the cue… so set/cue = m1-0 delete cue = m1=1 (or whatever) ---

> [@BlueJay](#): > > ahhh… I suffered from this for a year… trick is to set whatever modifier you’re using to delete to zero when your triggering the cue… > > so set/cue = m1-0 > delete cue = m1=1 (or whatever) That’s what I got already. Well, I got 8 ‘set hot cue’ buttons set up (not on a modifier, just regular buttons), and I got 8 ‘delete hot cue’s’ that are set to the same 8 buttons but using a modifier. ‘Set hot cue’ buttons dont have a condition as they dont have a modifier, but the ‘delete hot cue’s’ condition is M1=1. ---

yeh, that’s the problem.. they actually NEED a modifier… luckily that modifier is ZERO.. so no button need to be pressed. Trust me. Make all of the Hotcue Set M1=0 and life will be grand ---

There’s your problem. You _have_ to set a M1=0 condition to all the set hotcue buttons, or that function will also activate when you delete them. M1=0 is not the same as not putting anything. ---
