    yea I dont know? I find it weird that the encoders work perfectly for some functions and not others though. It sucks that I am the only Zero8 user here at the moment. Kinda do all my own troubleshooting.

    load / play / sync / browser change

    hello,
    since this is a thing i could imagine some of you wanting to do -
    i ask if someone managed to assign this to ONE midi-command ?

    i want to change the browser when i search for a track, so i can only see mini- or no decks at all.
    then, once i find the track, i want it to load to, say deck A, start playing, sync to the master and change the browser back to 4 decks.

    there`s 2 different ways one could go:

    first: - configure a knob to scroll up and down in browser, seeing browser only. and then load the track and change back to normal view.

    - Browser - List - List Select Up/Down
    - View - Only Browser Toggle - (interaction mode = direct, set to value = browser only)
    assigned to the first knob for searching
    - load - load selected
    - view - only browser toggle (interaction mode = direct, set to value = browser default)
    assigned to a button for loading and get browser back to normal.

    second would be to change the screenset directly to a selfmade one for searching and back to the default mixing one for playing.
    this works a bit different, but at the end you have the same result, only depends if you still want to see some of your decks during search or not.

    now, to get to the important thing:

    if i want to load the track, start it, sync it and change browser,
    it doesn`t work, as long i map it all to the same midi-button.

    i just set up everything for deck A to one button, and it just loads the track and changes the browser, but it doesn`t start, (and since it doesn`t, there is no syncing) -

    so i decided to go another way for deck B. i assigned loading and browser toggle to one button, and start / sync to another,
    AND IT WORKS !

    is there a way to do this all with one button?
    anyone tried, or have any ideas?

    it`s just that i don`t have enough buttons to assign one for loading AND another one for play/sync (and this for each of the 4 decks) - this would double up to 8 instead of 4, or i need to set up some modyfiers.

    any help or ideas would be very much appreciated.

    i also know this problem (also did with t3), traktor can´t play and sync a track, that is not loaded at the time the command is sent.
    the only solution i found is to use a flip-flop modifier that loads at the first time i press it and plays and syncs the second time (and then starts at the beginning).

    ok, i see. i thought i`ve seen this feature in the R.H. tutorial video on the microsite, but i had another look at it now, and yes - the starting (and syncinc) has to be done separately.
    thanks, looks like my mpd has to be changed to a xone 1d, even that (at first glance) would leave me with some decisions to be made about the setup.
    there`s so many things to be controled, and just a few controlers.

    thanks

    I have been working on my map for my Zero8 for 2 weeks now. For the 3rd time now I am going to change how I want my loops to be setup. I have gotten a lot of useful info here to get me started on how I want my controller set up. I strongly recommend your guys start doing your own. It really helps you understand MIDI and how your controller works with TPro software. Not everyone's setup has the same needs for that other person. ;)

    P.S. I could really use some help from some other Zero owners as well. Get DIRTY guys! :D
    ---
    @PhilL: I went back into Live7 to see how the encoders respond to knob like functions and they encoders work flawlessly in Live7. When I set a rotary encoder to send knob, eq, etc. I get the response I wish I could in TPro. So do you think its something in TPro and how it translates MIDI from the encoders for certain functions?

    Did you ever figure out how to get this working? I'm having the same issue. Everything seems to work fine but the jog wheels seem disabled. I can see the midi input flashing, so I know there's input but I don't know where it's going.

    Did you have to re-map the wheels?

    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry i'm a newbie and i have searchedint this forum, without success.

    I just buy the audio kontrol 1 and the traktor pro, and i can't use the midi function on the AK1 with traktor, or any player, like WMP.

    I have installed the driver and firmware for both AK1 and traktor pro.

    If i check in the midi setup of traktor, i have two lines with cross, in yellow, "audio kontrol 1 in" and "audio kontrol 1 virtualin".

    How could i make it works ?

    Sorry for my noob question, and for my poor english.

    Many thanks.

    If you on pc right click on the icon in task bar then select your media player or whatever.
    There is not preset for Pro, you will have to make your own. It is very easy once you grasp the concept. I use it for Sony Vegas, Premiere, After Effects, Audition, Live and more.
    Templates dont make much sense since every user will want something else. Just try, it is rather logical.

    Backspin while playing

    Hi,

    I'm still looking for a way to do a backspin while a track is playing on Traktor Pro. The track stops when I activate scratch mode and does not move at all when CD - Jog is on.

    Any clues?
