Can Traktor pop out a midi message when a looped deck current playing position reaches an end ?

julienbayle · February 2022

Hi there, very new here.

I'd need to know more about midi messages that can go out from Traktor for further recording or visuals alteration triggering and sync.

From Chapter 20 in the manual, we can have midi chart kind tables.

Can we setup Traktor for popping our a midi message when the current playing position of a looped deck reaches its endpoint ?

We played with the Beat Phase, Phase values etc. Works VERY fine.

But we didn't find anything about "that looped deck just reached its endpoint"

As Traktor transmits current tempo, current loop size (as a subdivision), we played with these values for starting a counter (sampling rate accurate, thanks to Max MSP) and to count outside of Traktor and check when the loop reaching the end but I'd prefer something to come from Traktor directly.

Anyone here ??

Best regards,

Julien Bayle

You can't.

~~There is the 'Track End Warning' Output.~~ What i meant is that Traktor should have an output. But the controller editor has a limited implementation. If you have one of those controllers that use the qml files, i am sure there is a way. The handful of commands and the accessible Traktor variables should be enough to build a function that spits out the exact moment of jumping in the timeline.

@Sûlherokhh, @Wyley ,

thanks for your answer.

It means we'll use the way I described:

exporting beat phase + loop size + tempo as midi output values
using these values for started an external clock and calculate the end of the loop

Can Traktor pop out a midi message when a looped deck current playing position reaches an end ?
