send midi data out with s4?

send midi data out with s4?
Posted on: 20.03.2011 by Porsche Pilliod
prior to the s4 i was using an xponent and using osx's built in "audio midi network" utility to send midi data out over a network to a friends computer so i can could trigger video samples on his computer simultaneously while triggering audio samples in traktor on my machine.

i know by default the s4 isn't in a midi mode, but even when i switch to midi mode, i cant seem to send midi data over the network like any other normal midi device. to work around this i am temporarily using a korg nano pad mapped to the sample decks in traktor and this works great. i just want one less piece of gear does anyone know if i can do some configuration in traktor to get the s4 itself to successfully send midi out? thanks and hope this makes sense!

What do you use for visuals? Im trying to make something similar using the S4 MIDI to sync whatever visual app I can find. So far Resolume but maybe there are other?

and you may have to use the controller editor (external software) to set up the midi messages sent. However you'll see that the shift buttons and deck select buttons won't send messages.

If you open up MidiPipe can you see midi coming out of the S4 locally in midi mode?

I've had an issue a couple of times where I lost midi from the S4. I had to unplug the S4 then delete the S4 as a midi device in the OSX utility, replug it in and then rescan for new device.

You can download the TP2 demo and try it out. It should be fully functioning, it just shuts off after 30 minutes.

thanks for the reply, however i don't need to send midi clock. this is just to send midi data over a network. (basically just need to be able to use midi learn to assign buttons on a different machine) works great thru the "audio midi setup" utility with any other midi device ie. nano pad, midi fighter, xponent. is it possible to do this without putting the s4 into full midi mode? thanks!!!
