Removing and reconnecting hardware while traktor is running

Just wondering… Is there any sneaky ways to reconnect hardware while traktor remains running? Because i’ve had a few issues of me playing with my nanopad a little too hard, and it falling on the floor disconnecting it from the USB port, and was wondering if there was any way to reconnect the hardware without having to restart traktor…

Any ideas?

Cheers

None that I have found. Sometimes I get too excited and open Traktor before turning on my controller, and have to restart the software. Don’t bang on it so hard lol just kidding, beat the music out of that nanopad :slight_smile:

Basically you need to buy a mac for this to work. One of the ways that macs actually are undeniably superior.

edit: I think ALSA linux can do it too but then you’d have no software to use it with :stuck_out_tongue:

Anything for a windows machine? :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t believe so. The way windows handled this stuff is pretty wack.

Yes, you can do it. Just after connecting device go to the settings–>controller manager. In the up-right u have IN and OUT for device, choose NONE in both of them, after choose ur device, and voila, u have it working again)))
At least it worked for me and my denon mc6k

Forgot to say- im work with win7 and tp 2.0.3

Whoa crazy

kontrol x1’s are hotpluggable (i.e you can add or remove while traktor is running with no issues, except if you are using v 2.1.1) regardless of o/s

Is that because they use NI’s protocol?

+1 on the in/out. Sometimes ill even switch usb ports and then you will see your controller with a different number for that port. My herc controller has hard modifier buttons, and the only thing I have to remember is to turn them to the 0 position before switching otherwise, traktor will think its still at 1 when the controller defaults to 0 when plugged in.

I use vista btw

I replugged my Launchpad and that seemed to work without hassle, and with my nanoKontrol I hade to change devices and it seemed somewhat buggy… On Win7 64 bits.

yeah unplugging your soundcard is just stupid (or mucking around with the outputs on the audio 6 mid set facepalm) damn drunkies
