From your sig I assume youā€™re running traktor. Add Out \> Deck Common \> Beat Phase Tweak controller range values to time LED flashing to the beat. ---

It pretty much is šŸ™‚ Do you want to have it flashing in a separate dedicated button or you wish that beat phase share LED output with some other command? For i.e. I got my button lite in red while deck is stopped and once track is on play the button starts flashing green until itā€™s stopped again where LED color turn back to red. ---

Sounds great. So many questions haha. Im making a preparation mapping for the x1. and mapped 3rd botton(original fx 3rd botton) and its paralell one to deck focus A or B. was wondering how i could get the light to blink while exaple deck focus A i on(selected) and vise versa when i i press the B botton. ---

Map your button to Add Out \> Beat Phase. This will make the LED constantly flash to the beat. Then, if you change the controller value from 0 - 1 to 1 - 1, it should only flash when you press it, then stop when you press it again, in theory. Iā€™ll try it and get back to you. ---

Worked ! but the idea is that when Deck A is selected by pressing the botton, its should blink. but it only blinks when deck is playing =( when i prep the track i move and zoomā€¦so i dont keep the track playing. Is there anyway to get this going? hope i explain myself good enough. ---

Controller value?? where on out or in ? ---

On the ā€œOutā€ mapping, where it says ā€œcontroller range 0 - 1ā€ at the bottom. Change it to 1 - 1, and try that. The theory is that 0 means off/false and 1 means on/true. So if itā€™s set to 1 - 1, it should only flash when the button is ā€œonā€. Iā€™m not sure as I canā€™t test it out right now, but will later when I get chance and get back to you. ---

Jay, Check out the default X1 mapping. Youā€™ll find necessary velocity min/max values which play nice with your X1. Simply use same LED options for your prep tool. ---

> [@CountenanT](#): > > Forget everything Iā€™ve said, Iā€™ve just tried it out and it doesnā€™t work. Thought so. But nerver mind Buddy. Stil used what I learned from u to map some other cool stuff. So thanx a million
