[SOLVED] Ignoring the touch sensitive portion of the DDJ-T1 jog dial with Traktor Pro 2

Hey guys,

I've got a guck question for you. I've got a gig this Friday and I'll be using the Pioneer DDJ-T1 with Traktor. Throughout my DJing career I've only ever used CDJ-1000s and CDJ-2000s so am a bit worried but still excited for the gig to try out new things. The only issue I'm having is the behaviour of the Jog Wheels on the T1. When a track is playing if I push the jog wheel forwards or backwards from the edge, they act like they normally would in CD mode on a set of 1000s/2000s (speeding up or slowing down the track), but if I was to try the same thing by pressing on the top touch-sensitive platter, they act as vinyl records, so if I hold it down, the track stops completely. If I hold them down and move forwards the track moves forwards but is prone to distorting like a record, and if I hold the platter down and move backwards the track rewinds rather than just slowing down.

What I'm hoping for is a way for Traktor to ignore the press of the Jog Dial all together and then they would only be used for speeding up/slowing down.

I hope there is a way to do this in the mapping but I can't figure out how. I'm using the mapping directly from Pioneer with Traktor Pro 2.6. It can be found here

If it's not possible to do this through Traktor, is there a way that I can get my Mac/Traktor to simply ignore the MIDI notes responsible for pressing the jog wheel down? That way, Traktor would only ever see me speeding up or slowing down the track and never "scratching".

You can't turn off scratch mode, so just use the sides for adjusting and the tops for stop/start/scratch.
