    Default I got 2 buttons left to map on my Launchpad, what should I choose?

    Hi guys.

    I have some buttons left on my Launchpad to map something to in Traktor.

    I got everything I need sorted...but I was thinking....is there anything I could map these last buttons to that may be alot of people dont know about? Maybe a function which would be useful but I never thought to map? Or maybe a collection of functions I could macro to 1 button?

    Basically I wana make the most of these last few spaces, anyone got any suggestions leme know.

    Ah good point lol....

    I'm using JWILL's Launchpad mapping;

    http://www.djtechtools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26573

    http://www.traktorbible.com/freaks/m...ew.aspx?id=169

    I have kept everything but changed the Snap and Quantise to Monitor Cue A and B. The beat phase section (second row from the top) also controls decks C + D, but I have removed that mapping as I have my X1 to control that...So I wanted to fill these slots.....So....

    Buttons 1 and 2 for Deck A and 5 and 6 for Deck B now control the Volume Fader (incase I cant use or dont have access to a mixer in a club or venue).

    So now its just buttons 3, 4, 7 and 8 I want to fill.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    How about track playing status? Then it will signal which decks are playing.

    I tend to map either low kills or any instant fx combos.

    There’s also an almost hermetic community that exists in many areas of dance music, where serious hobbyists feed off each other’s expertise but barely connect to the industry – despite many of those involved actually working in it.

    Not sure, do they display when the deck is on? seems like it might just stay lit and only move when the tracks begin to phase.
