General
Seemingly simple toggle button

I've run into this over and over and have never quite figured out how I'm supposed to handle it. I'm working with traktor. Alot of traktor's buttons are toggles. What I want is the custom button in lemur to toggle a given traktor button, and have the button accurately reflect the traktor button's state.
Ideally I'd like to just drop a button on a page, assign it a cc, then wire up that cc as input AND output for a button in Traktor and just have it work. Having tried that and failed, I feel like the only way to make it work is using scripts, separate cc's (maybe?) and then sending ctlout manually.

I've been kind of wondering the same and I'm thinking it's an easy fix, but I'm eagerly awaiting an answer also.
Hi
There are at half a dozen Traktor templates in the User Library - have you checked them out yet . . .
I think having a look at them will probably give you a number of possible solutions . . .

Good call, I'll check a premade template to figure it out myself, don't really need it for Traktor but the purpose is served the same!Macciza wrote:Hi

Hi
This may help as well http://liine.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=903
Add Traktor control via an On MIDI script if reverse control needed . .

So the general concensus then is that in order to do this, scripting is required? I'll dig into some of the existing templates if I get some free time today.
Was anyone able to figure this out? I've been loading tons of templates trying to figure it out and having no luck.
I think I've found the solution, and it is indeed doable without scripting.
The trick is to do two things:
In the Lemur editor, you need to have your custom button's capture behavior UN-checked, and mode set to 'switch'.
In Traktor, you need to have the mode set to 'hold' for that particular button.
I still haven't wrapped my head around why this works but I'll take it if it means not having to script every button
