**mapping button to focus Deck A or B** How to map a button to focus on deck A and B only. I mean i manage to do this by using this selector in traktor : **Deck Focus Selector** and assign a button But i only use 2 decks and when i push the button while focusing on deck B it jump to deck C & D and back to deck A. Maybe using Modifier but how too ??? Hope i’m clear and hope i get some help. Regards Chris ---

Set interaction mode to ‘direct’ which gives you option to set any deck under the ‘value’ tab. ---

What you describe is coherent and logical considering the command used. There is no independent output command for leds to blink in traktor (which is a shame really). ---

Yul is right. Which controller do you use? Some of them have the blink and pulsating states built in to the controller itself. Such as the Midifighters.
