Reply to Kontrol S4 Super Effects Mapping

Hi Guys,

After using the instant gratification mapping on my maschine I decided to adapt it a bit to my S4. What I did was use a few of the combos I'd normally use on the midifighter mapping and make it S4 friendly. So far the mapping is for decks A & B. This mapping takes up all 4 units and is controlled by the knobs on the S4. You'll notice slot 3 in your effects bank in unit 1 & 2 is empty. I did this so I could put the delay at the end of the chain. This allows for a nice delay when using the masher. It's basically 4 great effects that are super easy to use. After using them for a bit I turned off effect view and free'ed up some space on my screen. Test it out and let me know what you believe. I hope you enjoy it.

How to use:

Make your traktor version use 4 effect units by going to:

Preferences >> Effects >> 4 FX Units

Next Import the TSI file by using the big import button on the bottom.

NOTE***make sure you back up any mapping you have done as this will overwrite them.***

How it works:

This works on Decks A & B Only right now. I have also not figured out how to make the advanced toggle work properly. To me these effects work great and they require less fiddling around while mixing.

Each side has the same effects and the effect units are auto assigned when you press them. This solves the issue of assigning effect units in 4 effect unit mode.

Effects are as follows:

Dry/Wet Knob remains the same
Dry/Wet button = Midifighter Freeze

Knob 1 + Button 1 = Beatmasher + A little Reverb + A light Delay

Knob 2 + Button 2 = Army of me Whoosh

Knob 3 + Button 3 = Defaults to the Midifighter delay on press. Moving the knob will adjust the parameters.


***Issues*** When you first load it your effects may not be synced up when you press the button. To correct it turn off the effect buttons on units 1 & 2 from within the software (meaning use the mouse). This will sync the toggle modifiers I used.
