Locator Triggering Options

Ok so the latest problem I have run into is locator or cue point triggers. Currently I am using a mapping for the Torq Xponent. I have tried to edit the locators under the MIDI mapping options but currently I only have holder buttons, and toggle button as my only options. I would really like to have a trigger function instead (because Im used to Torq DJ). I also seem to have a problem with the pressing of two cue points at once (One on deck A and one on deck B). They should line up perfectly but they are instead out of sync. I believe if I could make the cue point buttons triggers this will solve my problem. Thanks everyone!

:cool: seems like it will be two seperate issues ,, one for the proper MIDI mapping and the second on how you would have two seperate samples sync at the same time ,,or are you trying to rely on you abilities to have them start in sync it you could trigger then at the same time :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

:?: are the loops set as one shot /hold /loop :?: :?:

I believe it is the same problem, if the cues are set to hold or toggle then they are not using the internal metronome which is what syncs the triggering to the playing beatgrid.

Looking at the file what you need to do is
1. Make sure you are using 2.5 and up version of Cross.1.
2. Edit all your locator controls to holder button using Cross mapping.
3. Turn on Quantize and set to value 1
4. Turn on Snap and set to value 1 or lower.

Try it out.
make sure you are using 2.5 and up version of Cross.

OK I shall try that. The reason I turned the buttons into holder is because i am used to being able to play a track by using the locators. With the holder button enabled it only allows me to do a sort of Main Cue button thing where it only plays for as long as you hold it. Again, I am used to Torq DJ where you can just press a cue point, even if a track is paused, and the song will play. Please let me know if this is or is not possible. Thanks

After you press the cue button that you want hold it.

While holding the cue button press play.
Release both buttons. It will continue playing.
