Cue trigger

giller 7:07 PM - 4 July, 2007
First of all, sorry about my english; I´m spanish and I will try to do my best.
Okay, then. I´ve been using SSL for like 5 months, and I find it pretty interesting. I always used "normal" vynils and a Pioneer cdj. Problem is that the pioneer allowed to "launch" a beat or a voice from a previously setted cue point. When you pressed "Play", the music is launch like a trigger, and when you stop holding the key, it silenced. I can´t find that option with SSL (I´m afraid it has not). I press the cue launch, but when I stop holding, the song simply continues. This doesn´t allow me to play with the cue as a drum, or as a voice trigger.

Is there any option to do what I´m saying? If not, i think it would be an interesting feature.

Thanx for reading

okay... you mean that when you set a cue point with the internal mode, and then press the shortcut key to that cue, it sounds, and that when you stop holding the key, it stops? I might be stupid, but this is not happening to me... i press button for CUE 1 and music starts, but doesnt stop when i release button

You have to press the cues inside the ScratchLIVE software...

I really appreciate your help, but still can´t do it. I feel like a retarded, but still can´t do it. I am using ONLY the scratchLive software, but still cant do the trick I explained. MAybe I am not explaining propertly. I am using internal mode, and i set a cue point. Then, as i am using the right side deck, i press the "1" key in my mac (keyboard shortcut to cue point 1). Cue is launched, but still plays when I release button.

I know what he's saying.

He has a "cue" like button on his cd decks, that works much like a sampler. I have this on my CDX and used them alot on my Dual CDNs... What he doesn't like, is that the Cue on serato works like a Stutter... once you hit it once, it continues playing.
djbriguy 1:19 PM - 5 July, 2007
to clarify.. on his CDNs, if he sets the cue point to a spot that says "Ah Ya!" he can rapidly "tap" the cue button so it could do things like "Ah" "ah" "ah" (3 taps) - - "Ay Ya" (holding it down)
