**I got 2 buttons left to map on my Launchpad, what should I choose?** Hi guys. I have some buttons left on my Launchpad to map something to in Traktor. I got everything I need sorted…but I was thinking…is there anything I could map these last buttons to that may be alot of people dont know about? Maybe a function which would be useful but I never thought to map? Or maybe a collection of functions I could macro to 1 button? Basically I wana make the most of these last few spaces, anyone got any suggestions leme know. ---

Ah good point lol… I’m using JWILL’s Launchpad mapping; > **[2 Deck Launchpad w/ 8 Cues+Loop+Instant Gratification FX](https://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=26573)** > > Thanks to many contributors of DJTT forums (Str8upDrew, l0rdr0ck, alex8337 and others) I was finally able to get my launchpad fully mapped and ready for combat! :) Since I am fairly new to midi mapping this took me about a week to finalize, so I... [http://www.traktorbible.com/freaks/mappingview.aspx?id=169](http://www.traktorbible.com/freaks/mappingview.aspx?id=169) I have kept everything but changed the Snap and Quantise to Monitor Cue A and B. The beat phase section (second row from the top) also controls decks C + D, but I have removed that mapping as I have my X1 to control that…So I wanted to fill these slots…So… Buttons 1 and 2 for Deck A and 5 and 6 for Deck B now control the Volume Fader (incase I cant use or dont have access to a mixer in a club or venue). So now its just buttons 3, 4, 7 and 8 I want to fill. Any help or advice would be appreciated. ---

How about track playing status? Then it will signal which decks are playing. ---

I tend to map either low kills or any instant fx combos. ---
