Active Deck is only determined by Crossfader

Currently the “Active Deck” is only determined by the crossfader. Most of my Time I’m not even using my crossfader or it’s in the middle it would be nice if the “Active Deck” is not only determined by the Crossfader and instead on which deck is the current music is running.

Coming from Rekordbox this is a small “stepback”.

Thanks for the suggestion @mariusLAN! Our dev team is already aware of this and is investigating options for a future release. Thanks!

I have the same problem. In my case, the solution would be to make the active deck “the last deck to which a song was loaded”. This way, I could use all my key mapping without having to manually change the active deck (which is visually not indicated).

Ah. I understand. I just tested it and it’s working. When the crossfader is centered, the active deck appears in the history when you stop the previous song.

To be more precise, the active deck / selected deck is determined when the volume fader of the opposite deck reaches 0 or the deck is stopped..
