Hi! I'm looking for the way to programmatically access transients information that Traktor generates when analyzing a track.

I attach the screenshot for an example. It's the track that was analyzed & doesn't contain the beatgrid.

Screenshot 2023-08-19 at 21.55.53.png

I want to get exact time position of each grey vertical bar.

Transient files are generated per track & located in "~/Documents/Native Instruments/Traktor 3.9.0/Transients/"


So far I haven't found any references online on how to open these "Transients" files(((

Any ideas?)

    I have figured out part of the transient file format but I can't figure out how Traktor chooses the file names for the transients. I know they are exactly 28 characters long and the same file names are used for the stripe files. If I could figure that out, I would know which song the transient file and stripe file are for and they would be a bit more useful.

    you should be able to find them in the ENTRY tag for the track in your collection.nml as AUDIO_ID

    I believe the AUDIO_ID is a representation of the audio itself. It is Base64 encoded but that's all I know of that.

    Hi there, if you achieve to get something that act as Protools button to go to next transient, it would be very helpfull to set up new beatgrid in TP 4.

    Any news about your research ?

    If you do not have any grid markers set, the CUE button in the deck will jump to the closest transient.
