Why does the pioneer_cue action always behave like cue-hold? (cue-hold is a setting for cueMode, not an action)
From the description of the action it reads like the only difference to the cue action should be the blinking patterns (what the action returns to the LED) but otherwise behave either the same as (optimally) cue_button (to honor the cueMode setting), or at least like normal cue.
However, pioneer_cue always behaves like cue with the cueMode set to cue-hold, regardless of what it's actually set to.
So no matter what you configure, pioneer_cue will always keep the song playing when you release after 2 seconds instead of stopping and rewinding to the cue point like cue does.
So why does it behave like this? I have a DDJ-1000 which uses pioneer_cue in the default mapping and i assume lots of other Pioneer gear do so too, since otherwise Atomix wouldn't have made an action specifically for this.
If this is intentional, it should be documented, maybe even the name changed to pioneer_cue_hold or something. If not, maybe we could get a fix so that it honors the cueMode setting =)

It's called pioneer_cue because it behaves like the cue button on pioneer gear :p
If you prefer another cue mode you could indeed change the mapping to cue_button.

I understand why it's called like that, but it doesn't behave like the cue button on pioneer gear :p
Neither the CDJs nor my DDJ-1000 in Rekordbox 6 have the hold functionality. The song always stops and reverses when i let go of it. I also can't find a setting in Rekordbox so achieve such a behaviour but that's not surprising.
So my question is still stands: Why does pioneer_cue always keep playing after 2 seconds as if cue-hold was enabled?

PS: If the devs actually wanted for pioneer_cue to behave like cue buttons on Pioneer gear, they should take a look at this other post of mine:

On CDJs and in Rekordbox you can't set a cue point if the track is halted by pushing the platter, but not pausing it. In Virtual DJ, you can set a cue point if the track is playing but you are scratching (touchwheel is pushed).

Well, on CDJs (in stand alone CD/USB/SD mode) by default if you hold CUE down for more than 2 secs, the song keeps playing.
Just tested again here with a CDJ-2000NXS2
I believe there is a setting you can change on CDJ utility menu to change that, but it's not the default behavior.

Interesting. Before posting my last reply i hit up a YouTube video that claimed to explain the cue button on CDJs because i wanted to be sure that it didn't "hold". It must be that the guy disabled the feature on his CDJ then.
