**Map 1 knob to move back and forward in song**

Hey DJTT!

I borrowed the S4 for a month, and what I really liked, is that you could move back and forward with one knob. (Beatjump)  
I can’t seem to map this to one button on my 4D, Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

WY!

Hey mate.

ADD IN\>CUE/LOOPS/BEATJUMP/ASSIGNMENT{device target for focus, or A-D} - TYPE OF CONTROLLER {button} - INTERACTION MODE {direct} - SET TO VALUE {up to you, i use +32}  
Duplicate that command, but this time when you LEARN the command, turn the knob to the left and change “SET TO VALUE” to -32.

have fun 🙂

Seek position might work more precise when searching trough track.

Add in \> Seek Position / Type-encoder / Mode-relative / set sensitivity

Thanks man,

I did exactly what you said, but it doesn’t seem to work. It just jumps back.  
Maybe my button has only 1 midi message, and can’t do a back and forth on 1 button?

If your knob sends only one CC massage traktor can’t know in which side you’re turning it and it will just send last command you have assign it for. That’s why I suggested seek position instead.

Alright thanks mate.  
If I want to jump +32 each time, seek position wont be accurate enough i guess?

From first post I didn’t knew that you need +32 jump. Seek position can be set to jump in 32 if you tune sensitivity in order. Do you use knob or endless encoder for this?

Then set it to be “relative” and play a bit with sensitivity. You should be able now to tune it till it jumps 32 beats (both ways) on single movement/click of encoder.

Has this changed in newer versions of Traktor? I can’t find the BeatJump control anywhere in the ADD IN lists. Am i missing something?

Sorry let me reply. Is there a way to use a knob to scroll through the different beat jump values?
