In case you missed it, your first destination should be the modifier basics tutorial which will get you started in the world of midi modifiers. Simply put, a modifier allows you to use a single midi control for 2 or more purposes. In this example we are going learn how to create a toggle modifier. Previously I showed you how to create a shift modifier which means:
“When I hold down shift then B becomes C”
A toggle modifier simply says:
“when I push shift then B is always C until I hit shift again”
In Traktor Pro, there is no explicit command that sets a modifier to toggle, you just have to use a simple logic trick instead.
Midi Modifier Toggle
First create a command that says ” if shift is off (m1= 0) then turn shift on (m1=1)”
Duplicate that modifier and change it to say “if shift is on (m1=1) then turn shift off (m1=0)
Now assign both of these modifier commands to the same button. This is your toggle shift button.
Finally you need to apply that modifier rule to a performance function.
I will first assign what happens when the modifier is zero, play works normally:
and then I assign what happens to that button if I have engaged shift. Play becomes Load loop play:
that’s it! Advanced Midi modifier toggling in just a few steps.
Omg, that is genius, i was trying to figure out a way to do that for so long!
f*** yeah. i would not have thought of that. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
this came in handy, used it to make a button to switch between effect presets

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!! I DID IT!!!! i’ve been killing myself for 3 days now, and finally i got it! Ean, you should do a tutorial named ”Modifiers for Dummies” so people like me cwill finally get it 😛 THANKS BRO!!
Great Ean!!! You could do more complex modifiers if you use more numbers, I mean, you could set modifier to 1 if it was set to 0, set to 2 if it was set to 1….. I have tried it in differents ways and it makes the midi posibilities of traktor almost perfect xD
Thanks!! Greetins from Spain!!

Thanks Ean for this tutorial. Just what I needed!
Traktor is really advanced. But it still can't do the simple things.
How do you Output a LED for a Hotcue. On my DN-HC4500 for example, if Hotcue 1 is created, then have Function Key 1 LED turn ON. (Like all Denon CD players) Or, if you load a song with 4 Hotcue's, then the 4 LED's would be turned on.
I still don't understand why you can only delete the active cue point.
