Ean's " Rapid Track Prep Tool" (KeyBoard Mapping for Traktor)
Description and Instructions
THIS MAPPING IS INTENDED TO BE USED WITH 2 HANDS, WITHOUT THE MOUSE, SO YOU CAN GO THROUGH A SINGLE PLAYLIST OF NEW SONGS VERY FAST. PUT ALL YOUR NEW SONGS IN A LIST AND FOLLOW THE PROCESS.
HERE IS THE PROCESS
- ~ - JUMPS TO THE FIRST MARKER OF A SONG (THIS IS USUALLY TRAKTOR'S AUTO GRID MARKER)
- 1 - SETS A LOAD MARKER AND #1 HOT CUE AT THAT POSITION.
- = - PAUSES THE TRACK, ZOOMS OUT AND STOPS THE METRONOME. (PRESS TWICE TO RESET THE MASTER CLOCK)
- DELETE - PLAYS THE TRACK, ZOOMS IN AND STARTS THE METRONOME
- TAB - SKIPS THROUGH THE SONG IN 32 BEAT INCREMENTS.
- { } - MOVES THE BEAT GRID FORWARD OR BACK AND ZOOMS IN VERY TIGHT. (ADD SHIFT FOR FINE CONTROL)
- ( ) - CHANGES THE BPM (WITH SHIFT FOR FINE CONTROL)
- 2 - LOCKS/UNLOCKS THE BEAT GRID (PREVENTS THE BEATGRID FROM BEING CHANGED)
- 3 - LOADS THE NEXT SONG
THIS ONLY WORKS WELL FOR NEW SONGS WITHOUT ANY CUE POINTS.
- IF THE BEAT MARKER IS NOT IN THE CORRECT PLACE, SET A NEW ONE AND FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS
- IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CUE POINTS OR MULTIPLE BEAT MARKERS, DELETE EVERYTHING BUT THE FIRST GRID MARKER (WHICH SHOULD BE ON THE DOWNBEAT) AND FOLLOW THE PROCESS
- IF THE BEAT MARKER IS NOT IN THE CORRECT PLACE, SET A NEW ONE AND FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS
- IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CUE POINTS OR MULTIPLE BEAT MARKERS, DELETE EVERYTHING BUT THE FIRST GRID MARKER (WHICH SHOULD BE ON THE DOWNBEAT) AND FOLLOW THE PROCESS

Struggling with this tool in 2.11. Some of it works, but when I press the '1' key it deletes the grid marker. Trying to do grid and bpm first now before setting the '1' key as a work around, but would love to know if there's a way to do it as it was originally intended.

im actually enjoying beatgridding by beatmatching the old way using this map, it isnt taking as long as i thought either! Thanks for this.
Bit of advice for people having problems: I deleted my general default keyboard mapping tsi. Also when you import the keyboard mapping, if u use the lartger import button make sure to just have keyboard ticked and nothing else.
Only thing I had to do was map the autogrid button to key '1' and all is good :)

It's integrated on the same TSI file so it should work out of the box.
