| Gaylord Lomerson 01.02.2013 | nobody find a mapping of S2 to use Ableton? |
| Darwin Roozeboom 06.06.2012 | Easy! Press shift+browse which will put the Traktor S2 into MIDI mode. Would possibly recommend getting another midi device to help activate the tracks rather than using the mouse. Korg nano pad will do it but maybe consider the F1 possibly. |
| Tanner Stuhlman 05.06.2012 | I believe that you need to set the kontrol S2 under the control surfaces as one of them. Then it should work. A lot of times though i find that I need to open controller editor and then ableton will start picking up midi from the S2. But it can work, I've done it before. If when the S2 is sending midi to ableton it'll flash a little yellow box in the upper right corner when you use press a button, twist a knob, or use a fader. |

| Kareen Kreft 04.06.2012 | Have you thought about using traktor and ableton together by syncing them? The s2, iMo is gonna be better with traktor considering it was designed for it but this way you could still use some ableton features but do the mixing in traktor. are you considering using ableton to DJ over traktor? if so I would say buy an apc40 or apc20 and a seperate controller with some knobs. |
| Nedra Fresneda 05.06.2012 | Ok, that side is good. Open Traktor and go to your S2 tab, check that switching to MIDI isn't disabled. |

| Addie Engbrecht 04.06.2012 | I don't use Ableton but I'm guessing once the S2 is in MIDI mode you can map the controls on the S2 in Ableton. So basically, you still need to tell Ableton what you want each button on the S2 before anything actually happens. |
