Traktor Kontrol F1 for turntablist use? Your advice?

Do you believe this would be beneficial? I can see possibly as it being a way of having more than 8 hotcues in action, theoretically have 64 samples ready to go at any time at the push of a button, even some overlaying each other. I see C2C using them during some of their recent videos.

I honestly don't know much about the F1 and how it handles one shots being manipulated via vinyl timecode. Anyone who's into the turntablism aspect of things who work with an F1 care to shine some light on the subject?

lets say I have 16 ONE SHOTS (not loops) all loaded filling the F1, could I hit them ALL at the same time? or would only 1 per column work at a time? I'd love to load Mad Zach's audio packs into it and be able to jam away without a problem

In the preferences/remix decks there is an option "One-shot samples ignore quantize mode". Put that on and your one-shots will trigger exactly when you hit the pad.

cue point with flux mode is what i use. i've tried using the remix and sample decks and i couldn't get comfortable adding it to my workflow. name drops, 1 shots, lasers, and air horns is the main purpose of my remix decks now….

I've always considered the F1 for a scratch tool. 4x4 pads, each controlling a section of a scratch record. Would be nice to not interfere with the transition. Just dont know how to map it

It's fun - essentially it's like Ableton's session view, but you can scratch clips!

You don't really need it, though. The skill of beatjuggling and especially the skill of scratching doesn't call for anything beyond 1200s, and mixer and records.

It's one per column playing at one time. That's how it works, no way to change that. If you launch loop or one-shot in a column that already has something playing, currently playing stuff stops and new one overtakes it
