Hello all, I'm looking for some help with my traktor mapping. I want to map the cue button on my kontrol s2 mkii to act as a toggle so that when it's enabled, hot cue buttons 1-4 become 5-8. I'm very new to mapping with traktor but I managed to get it mostly functioning.
Where I am stuck at is setting the LED states. I would like the cue 5-8 state leds to function just as the regular 1-4 buttons do, meaning if the cue type is a loop then the button color is green, and if the button is held or active then the led is lit brighter in the correct color. I got this partially working by messing with some modifiers, but once I tried to set up a way to delete the cue points 5-8 by holding shift with my cue button toggle on it really started to mess up the led states. Does anyone know a better way of doing this that is more stable? I've attached my mapping tsi in case anyone is interested in looking at it. Any help would be very appreciated, thanks.

Jul 14, 2012 Hello everyone, I searched the forum for an answer to this problem and was unable to find one so I apologize if it has been covered before. I am looking to use a button combination to access cue points 5-8 on the S4. In videos I have seen Ean use the loop buttons to map these, but since I use the loop decks quite a bit I was hoping to go another route.

If you’re new to DJing, or honed your skills on vinyl, hot cues might be a mystery – here’s what they do…
When DJ equipment started to move from traditional, vinyl based rigs, to digital setups, a whole raft of new features started to appear- Hot Cues were one such feature.
All DJ’s were familiar with the concept of ‘cueing’ – it simply meant readying the next track to be played by ensuring the stylus was sat at the beginning.
What was to be gained by increasing the temperature of a cue, then? Hmmmm…
Jump to a cue instantly, at the push of a button
One of the biggest advantages of digital media for the DJ is that a computer is simply reading a list of numbers when it plays back a track. This means that rather than, say, having to physically mark a record to show where points of interest within a track are (a particular break, for example) and pick up a needle to move it from place to place, the computer can store a whole track in RAM, and instantly jump from one part of its ‘list’ of numbers to another.
One application of this was to offer the ability to create endless loops from played tracks at the touch of a few buttons- the user simply sets the start and end points.
The next use of this technology was to offer Hot Cues. Put simply, a hot cue is cue point that can be set on any track on the fly. Usually, multiple hot cue points can be set an individual track.
What would I use a hot cue for?
There are lots of different uses for hot cues. Firstly, if you’re playing a set, you can have tracks set up with hot cue markers to indicate where different parts of the track start. If you want to say, drop a track into a mix at a point that isn’t the beginning, you can then do this by pressing a button to instantly jump to a previously hot-cued point. Useful, eh?
If you spend a bit of time choosing hot cue points judiciously, you can use them to create your own extended edits of tracks on the fly. Crowd going wild over when you hit the bass drop? Jump back and do it again- and if you’re handy with effects, you can ramp it up even more by adding variation to it.
Another main use of hot cues was to use a track almost as a sampler. As the track will instantly jump to a particular point, DJs realised that this could enable them to complete break, and rebuild music as they see fit, live. Www vst com free download.
This has evolved into a new breed of modern DJ, loosely called ‘controllerists’, who effectively perform live mash-ups and remixes in real-time.
These days, most DJ controllers feature facilities to trigger plenty of hot cues, along with separate sample triggers (Native Instruments Traktor software features entirely independent sample decks, for example) along with loops and more. Gain reduction deluxe vst download.
If you’ve fancied playing around with tracks beyond starting at the beginning of a track, and want to rearrange a track in the midst of a set, then hot cues are your friend… ?
