User Manual

▪ Direct: When selecting this, you can specify either 0 or 1 in the Button options below.
This can be used if you want a specific MIDI button or Key to always set a certain
TRAKTOR button status, independently of the current TRAKTOR status. For example:
Define a Play/Pause controller for Deck A, set the Interaction mode to Direct and the
Value for the Direct mode to 1. Now assign a MIDI note or keyboard key to it using
MIDI learn. Whatever the current state of the Deck A Start button is (pressed or not
pressed), hitting the defined MIDI button or Key will always playback the track in Deck
A, so if the Start button is not pressed yet, the playback will start, if it is already play
ing, nothing will happen.
Button options:
The elements appearing in the Button options are dependent on the Interaction Mode you
have set and in some cases on the actual parameter you edit.
▪ Value (Direct mode): The available range of numbers can differ and is dependent on
the Control you are editing. Some Controls only allow integers while others allow frac
tions.
▪ Invert (Toggle and Hold modes): Inverts the movement of your external Control. For an
input controller this means that the TRAKTOR button is pressed when you release the
MIDI button or keyboard key and vice versa.
▪ Auto Repeat: Holding down the button will auto repeat that input. This is only available
for specific Controls.
▪ Resolution: Allows you to adjust (fine or coarse) the increment or decrement of the in
put. This is only available for specific Controls such as the buttons below the Deck
TEMPO fader.
There are other parameters available in this section. Remember that all parameters appear
ing here are pre-defined for each available Control.
Fader/Knob
Faders or knobs can have one of the following Interaction Modes:
▪ Direct: The position of the external Control always matches the position of the TRAK
TOR parameter.
▪ Relative: The position of the TRAKTOR parameter can be shifted compared to the ex
ternal Control. Relative mode is best suited for incremental knobs (which send -1 and
+1 instead of absolute values). Here are some examples of Relative Interaction mode
applications:
