Reply to Traktor S4 HOTCUE Buttons n00b

Hi,

I am trying to use my Traktor S4 HOTCUE Buttons (1-4) to juggle samples, but it's not quite going according to plan...

The HOTCUE buttons seem to behave differently on my S4 than on my keyboard. I can only depress one HOTCUE button at a time. There needs to be a good half a second gap between pressing HOTCUE buttons, or the sound cuts out, almost as if I have stopped pressing the button. Also I cannot depress two and let go of one without the sound stopping.

The keyboard behaves exactly as I would like. No Gap required, can press or depress multiple cue buttons, last cue button depressed the holds sound.

Here is a short video highlighting the behavior

Please note the the "PLAY" button is not on, neither do I want it to be.




1. Is this normal?

2. Why would I want them to work like this?

3. Why are they much nicer to use on
