    Hi everybody.

    I just need to do some basic configuration for my Mixtrack Pro LEDs. I've read some tutorials etc, but they seem a bit advanced for me. So I would appreciate some guidance.

    1. I want the Play button to flash when playing
    2. I want the loops to flash when active (ie. Pioneer-like behaviour)

    Thank you in advance

    Add 'beat phase' to those buttons:

    -Play button - modifier condition = play/pause on
    -Loop button - modifier condition = is in active loop

    Thank you. I managed to do this with your help, but I had to modify controller range as well, from 0 min to 0.5 max. Some more help would help me, since I now start to understand how this whole thing works and I will use those examples to experiment. I just didn't know where to start.

    1. How can I make CUE to be constantly on when in play mode and to flash when in pause mode?
    2. How can I make play button to flash when in pause mode, and to be on when in play mode?
    Thanks

    Absolutely. Controller range values depend of controller type.

    1. Traktor don't offer blinking state while track is on pause, it's a shame really... VDJ does.

    2. By using toggling modifier on play button. Track on play=value 0, track on pause=value 1. Set LED output of that same modifier at 'cue' buton and there it is.

    Sorry. I don't understand. If possible, please explain further. Thanks anyway.


    By the way, I have noticed some mappings that change the button colors from yellow to red. Can this be done for all LEDs in Mixtrack? If so, how?

    So far, I changed the Loop Auto/Manual button to red, by doing the following:

    Modifiers 2 and 5 (for deck A and B)

    Controller Range 0/0
    Midi Range 1/1

    Tried this with other buttons, but with no success.

    Add one modifier which is toggling between values 0 and 1 on each press of the button. Map it to same button as play.

    Add in > Modifier 1
    modifier condition - M1=0
    type - button
    interaction - direct
    value - 1

    Add in > Modifier 1
    modifier condition - M1=1
    type - button
    interaction - direct
    value - 0

    Now add modifier 1 LED output and map it to cue button.

    Add out > Modifier 1
    type - button
    interaction - LED
    value - Output
    controller range - min-0 ; max-1-7 (pick any, depends to controller LED type)
    MIDI range - min-0 ; max-127

    Try both 'Blend' (check)

    Hey all, I'm a newbee here, and just want to say, this post made me join the forum. Sorted out some mapping issues on my MixTrack related to LED's. This is great thanks for the help!
