▪ Assignment: The available options are Deck A to D and Device Target for Deck Control,
and Global for other Controls and Modifiers.
◦ If you select one of the Decks here, the Control is always routed to this Deck. If you
select Device Target, you can specify the actual target in the Device Setup section at
the top.
To achieve the Focus option as in previous versions of TRAKTOR, do the following: Select
Device Target in the Assignment dropdown menu and Focus in the Device Target menu of the De
vice Setup section (see chapter 5.2).
▪ Type of Controller: The controller types available here depend on the Control target you
have added to the mapping. For example:
◦ While a Deck's Play/Pause only allows to be mapped to a button, other parameters
(like the Filter Cutoff knob) can be assigned to knobs and faders. The Interaction
mode and the Options below the Mapping Details section depend on the selected
Type.
As opposed to previous TRAKTOR versions, the available types are only displayed after as
signing via Learn function or selecting a physical Control.
13.19.6 Available Controller Types
Remember that the available types depend on the Control target.
Button
The modes listed in the Interaction Mode drop-down list depend on the actual parameter you
edit. E.g. while the Play/Pause Control lists the Button Interaction Modes Toggle, Hold and
Direct, the Tempo Control lists the modes Direct, Inc, Dec and Reset.
Available Interaction modes for buttons:
▪ Toggle: When you press and release the MIDI button or Key, the TRAKTOR button is
enabled, when you press and release it again, it is disabled.
▪ Hold: This is the default setting for buttons. The TRAKTOR button will stay pressed as
long as your MIDI button or keyboard key is pressed. If you release the MIDI button/
key, the TRAKTOR button will also be released.
▪ Invert: Inverts the action. For an input controller this means that the TRAKTOR button
is pressed when you release the MIDI button or keyboard key and vice versa.
