Mapping Problem: Set, Store and Map Hot Cue Points Posted on: 12.03.2009 by Aaron Laudig Hi,i am setting up my axiom 25 to controll effects and hot cue points in traktor. i've allready mapped the pads to the hot cue points on the focused deck. now i want an other key to work as a shift key, when holding down and hitting one of the pads, a cue point should be dropped, stored and mapped to the corresponding hot cue point, all without interupting playback. i tried several ways and didn't get it to work. a problem might be, that the order of execution of commands assigned to just one key is crucial... one workaround i'm gonna try is to configuring some midi tranform tool to trigger multiple events in a defined order when the pad is hit and then map them in traktor. but there might be other problems as well, and if possible, i'd like to stay with traktor only. does any of you mapping masters have an idea how to achieve this? thanks in advance.. | |

| Deloras Hirchert 15.05.2011 | i know this is old but its sad it never got answered. you guys ever heard of a nice little function called select / set + store hotcue? you assign it to a button/pad then tell it which out of the 8 hotcutes that button is and deck accordingly. if there is no hotcue set there it sets one and if you ahve the midi out set to the same button it lights the button saying its got a hotcue, to go back to that point hit the button again. thats how the x1 handles hotcues, you can set these as the track is playing without a hiccup. if you need to delete on the fly for some reason set a modifier button and test for its condition, have it delete and then optionally reset as a macro(why do in 2 steps what you can do in 1? don't forget if our buttons have leds to set the same command for the same hotcue to the same button, it lights up to let you know what hotcues are set and not. |
| Benita Catrone 02.06.2009 | I'm officially bumping this post for my own benefit, maybe some new knowledge can be brought to light? I'm moving from deckadance to traktor and the first thing i want to do is set up hot cues the way it is done in DD, That is: shift+button 1=set hotcue 1. And then: button1=go to and play hot cue 1. (same as what Horst was asking for back in March) Very easy in DD. Nightmare in Traktor. I've tried many varieties of set cue+store, map hotcue, and select hotcue, but not getting anywhere. Ean G does madness with cue points, there's no way he doesn't have full control over where they are stored. There's got to be a workaround!! (I guess using two different shift buttons, one to store, and one to assign IS a workaround but I can't imagine that working very well on the fly.) |
| Velvet Schinke 12.03.2009 | Don't believe there is direct way to do this. I was stuck with it too but gave up. Its just the way TP works. You just have to find out what is the best alternative and how you like it most. |

and the second shift, as you guessed it, is to save the cue to the corresponding hot cue point.

| Hortense Kurata 12.03.2009 | i have a 'set cue' button on my main mixer, and this lets me drop a cue point whether the track is playing or not (when its playing, it wont stop playback) then i use a korg nanopad to do essentially the same thing. my workaround is that i have 2 shift buttons; so when no shift is engaged, all the cue points can be triggered normally (plays as long as they're held down). now as soon as one of the shifts is used, it will cue play (cup) the corresponding cue point. and the second shift, as you guessed it, is to save the cue to the corresponding hot cue point. i actually thought that having 2 shifts would be a waste of buttons, but after setting them to change the state of other buttons as well, i now have 2 - 3 times more accesible controls than i used to! (using a combination of shift 1, shift 2, and shift 1 + shift 2 to engage modifiers) meanwhile i have been advised by many other community members to try bome's midi translator if i wanted to do anything more complicated than that (ie. mapping more than 3 controls to 1 button/knob, using loads of different sensitivity settings, modifiers.etc) hope this helps! |
