Hi i need help with my equipment!!
Posted on: 09.06.2013 by Katie Troupe
Hi, i am a proud owner of a traktor kontrol s4 and i recently just bought two ndx800's. as of last week i thought it would be a good idea to connect these items together and have the traktor s4 kontrol as the mixer and the ndx800's as the cdj's while they are running off of traktor. the only problem is, is that i do not have a clue how to connect the ndx800's to the traktor program running through the traktor kontrol s4. I only have the traktor kontrol s4 traktor program and i have been trying days on end and i don't know how to do it. do i need an upgrade? please somebody help me i really wanna dj with this new setup of mine

thanks

If you are going to use the Numarks as midi controllers you DO NOT need to connect them to the S4. Just plug the usb's into your laptop. So long as your loptop is plugged into mains power you wont have a problem running the 3 usb devices. the Numarks also have their own power supply. I would recommend that if you need to use a usb hub then plug the S4 directly into a usb slot on your laptop as this will be your soundcard and plug your NDX800's into the hub.

All of the controls on your s4 are going to work along with your Numarks so remeber that when you are using the mixer section. You dont want to be knocking any of the buttons mid set. When you find a tsi file (or map them yourself) you are going to have to remember your start up sequence. You are going to have to change the midi channel of one of the Numarks if you want to use 2 of them together. You are also going to have to make sure that you change the IN and OUT ports in Traktors controller manager to each individual NDX800. This could get a little complicated from here so try this and then come back and let us know how far youve got. Then we can work from there.

Okay thanks man as soon as i get off work i will give you a reply seeing as i will be straight back on traktor. it's very much appreciated.

11.06.2013		what you need to do is stop telling us you have a gig this weekend and it needs to be done

get yourself some mp3s,
load them into traktor
plug in your Kontrol S4
and go have your gig this weekend

then when its done
go home
plug in your S4
turn on traktor
and start connecting your other midi gear and try to get them to work

you are trying to answer everything at the same time

stop.... stop now... stop right here


try this one device at a time
and face the fact that you are not going to be ready with the ndx800's for this weekend

You have an S4
You have traktor Pro
You have mp3s
You are ready for this weekend.

10.06.2013		Yes i have the usbs and i know where to connect them in the traktor kontrol s4, my only problem is the 3 usbs can they all run off the laptop or do i need an audio card? also i don't know how to set them up with the traktor kontrol s4 (program wise).... like is this compatiable with the traktor kontrol s4 traktor program edition? and if so does anyone know how to set them up? thanks!!
Katie Troupe
10.06.2013		Yes there is a usb connection on the back of the ndx800's but the problem is the 3 usbs can they all run off the laptop? And I dont know how to set it up with traktor itself will it also be okay with the traktor kontrol s4 program of traktor? Thanks guys I really need to do this before my gig this weeken

09.06.2013		Dont the ndx800's have a USB connection on them?
If so you need to plug each of them into a USB hub

Also if i understand how they work correctly
youll also need to connect their RCA outputs to Decks C and D on your S4 unit.

But as for mapping them to the Traktor program, you my friend are going to have to do that manually
