Loop Shift Mapping in Traktor Pro 2

Traktor has always been, let’s say, the least friendly when it comes to mapping. On the other hand they have a huge community that is into that. Sites like the Traktor Bible and the Traktor forums should have plenty of folks who have already done what you want or can point you in the right direction.

In the controller manager You need to use Deck Common> Move menu and use “Move”, “mode selector” and “size selector” all mapped to the same button on the controller. These will allow you to set the move mode as “loop” which allows the loop to be moved, the actual move to be backwards or forwards and the size can be set as “loop” which will allow the amount of movement to be the same number of beats as the current loop length.

If this doesn’t make much sense yet I would suggest you open up the move mode in the advanced deck panel & have a play with the various settings to see what happens; this will give a better idea of how these parameters work.

Find the existing mapping commands that control the tempo bend from the jog wheel & set them for modifier 7 or 8 =0. That should disable the tempo bend for when you have the loop adjust mode on with the modifiers.
