**S5 - how to reset tempo offset to 0.0% ??** This is driving me nuts. To transition between tracks of significantly different tempos, I like to drop the track I’m mixing in down to match the playing track, then after mixing in the second track do a sudden jump back to the actual tempo (i.e., 0.0% offset) at some transition such as the beginning of a verse. On the S4 I would simultaneously press the up and down arrow buttons above the tempo fader to do this instantly. I can’t figure out how to do this with the S5. The only thing I can figure out is to type in the second track’s original tempo into Traktor Pro 2, then hit return on the keyboard when I want to resent the tempo to 0% offset. There has to be a way to do this on the S5 – help??? ---

Quick question - why do you like to do this? ---

I do this all the time when transitioning between songs that have significantly different tempos. ---

Quartz lock BUTTON?!? That’s practically cutting edge technology in the world of vinyl… 😆 (1997, wasn’t it?) ---

I had mine mapped to keys a, b, c, and d when I was using the S8 I haven’t really mapped before – I can look up the general process on my own, but would you mind telling me what the name is of the command that you mapped to a, b, c, d? Thanks in advance. ---
