Anyone have any ideas how this could be achieved? If you look at the S4, on each deck it has a 2 digit LCD display showing the current loop size. This can be changed by rotating an encoder. I'm guessing that it's possible for Traktor to output the current loop size via midi but how/what would you…

Hi all, Is there a more precise way to map the tempo faders of the VCI-400 (not EGE) in Traktor 2.6.1? Even with the tempo range reduced, it's difficult to adjust during a set because it moves in such large increments in BPM (you have to be reaaally careful). I find myself using the sync button…

Anybody have any good sources for this. I would rather not map my own since it is pretty basic and I am assuming many have been made with the features that I want: 8 cues per deck, 2/4 fx units, filters, dedicated looping, instant gratification would be a nice addition. The biggest thing is that…
