Help with x1 mapping - seek knob

To update everybody:

This morning, photojojo solved my problem. Its as you mentioned Alex - I basically found all my cue/loop move size and set them to "Loop". I suppose you solved my problem too but I missed the reply. So thank u!!

I set it up so that my beatjump buttons and my seek knob both refer to the "Loop" value.

As for moving the loop, I believe I got that working now too:
- SHIFT + turning the loop knob will basically move the whole loop by X amount based on what the loop knob size is set to. Did this the same way as you + jojo recommended for the move/transport knob.


I should note that Im using a custom mapping (but these changes I described above are the only mods I personally made). Otherwise its the 4 deck NHL x1 mapping thats available on NI's site.

Thnx for trying.. ya - I already shorten the value on that control..

I was hoping that there was a modifier that could do pretty much what u said. Im still not up to speed at all on modifiers.. I guess I should start learning about them.

My though was that if there was a modifier that referred to the loop size (like u said) that somehow that could be referenced by the seek knob.

Sorry guys, this is looking more and more like it's not doable (at least not with an encoder). What I've come up with is using buttons that would assign both the cue/loop move size, and loop size to the same value. Problem is, there are other buttons on the X1 that would override that and change the value of either the loop size or the cue/loop move size. :/ This means that putting it on an encoder would simply change the values relative to what it was over-ridden to. You CAN change the size that the seek knob uses by default (it's the Cue/Loop Move Size mapped to Shift.Left.Browse and Shift.Right.Browse...simply change the value that it's directly mapped to.) Also, you can keep the 8count seek that it currently uses, and use beat jump left/right (set to 1 beat by default) for "finer" tuning...

Unfortunately, that's all I can come up with for now, at least until Traktor has "Loop Size Is X" as a modifier condition. But hey, they added a bunch of other cool modifier conditions with pro 2, so who knows.

yes he does

i also using the x1 default mapping and are curious about how good we can customize the way how "fine" the seek knob does his job, moving around in a 4 beat grid is pretty "raw"

I dont use anything else for loop size control besides the x1..

Quick question: Do you use anything besides your X1 to set the loop size (mouse, kb, another controller...)? That would make this impossible. :/ I'm trying to use modifier conditions to mirror the state of the loop size, however, if the loop size is changed by anything but the encoder on the x1, it loses reference. :/
