new to the traktor game with kontrol s2. having major issues, please help! Posted on: 03.07.2012 by Gary Firetto Old school sl1200 guy here. I just picked up a s2 for a overseas trip I'm going on, it came without software but I was able to download traktor 2.5. The s2 also came without a ac adapter, guitar center guy mentioned it was usb powered also. software is installed and seems to work, kontrol s2 does nothing except flash the usb light. I have tried watching numerous videos/reading lots of threads but can not get this thing to work for the life of me. I installed the s2 maps and tried changing numerous settings but the controller does not kontrol anything but my wallet. plug and play I thought, very wrong I was. I read something about setting the in-out ports to something but I don't have any options to select in the in-out port selection. Really getting frustrated here, please helpppp. | |

I'm not sure what the retrospective solution is other than to uninstall all of the Traktor s/w, reinstall, then plug in the S2. |

| Gary Firetto 16.07.2012 | I lost hope and returned the unit. I acquired traktor pro 2.5 by "other means", possibly my issue. Who knows now....Thanks for the replies dudes, I initially figured these community s were dead. |
| Sherika Hamski 10.07.2012 | You said that you were able to download Traktor Pro 2.5. Did you download it officially or did you acquire it by "other means?" Based on a friend's experience in a similar situation, the installer probably didn't come with any drivers. |
| Lashay Walchak 07.07.2012 | You could install Controller Editor, Connect it to S2, then start Traktor>prefrences>controller editor>add new>generic midi. Set in/out to Kontrol S2. Check for little blue light again. |
| Lashay Walchak 07.07.2012 | when Traktor is up and running and you have the in/out ports set to Kontrol S2 press a button or move a fader and see if the little blue light left of the clock does anything. Have you installed controller editor as well? |
| Gary Firetto 03.07.2012 | Thanks for the reply. I got the unit recognized by my computer by using a shorter usb cable. The usb light is no longer flashing and s2 control panel shows the unit is connected. However the unit is still not useable, I can play music out of it's sound card and that's about it. I have traktor 2.5 installed the s2 driver version 3.03 have the dtt s2 maps loaded anything I'm missing here? this is rocket science compared to hooking up 2 turntables and a mike. |
