Light for S4
Posted on: 29.04.2011 by Mariano Godina
I'm believeing of getting myself a little light/torch that i can clip on to the side or back of my S4, similar to the target light in size from a technics 1200.

Only reason being, when it' really dark at times i have a hard time seeing what position some of the knobs are in, mainly because the little white lines on the knobs that native instruments provided, are rubbish. Compare them to a pioneer djm 800 knob and the difference is massive.

Any ideas or suggestions would be good!

Thanks

Tom

Same here. Get the new 'baby' Magilite with the halogen bulb. Rugged, like a searchlight and just bigger than a AAA. It's ALWAYS in my gig bag. Saved me a couple of times, great for setting up in dingy booths.

I have the Vestax knobs on my VCI painted silver cause you sure as hell can't see the red in the dark!!

I believe a small dim light would probably be best though.

29.04.2011		Changing the knobs is almost impossible! Most knobs fit the S4, BUT, they don't sit in the correct position - e.g - when you put the knob on, instead of the white line being at 12 o clock position when the knob is dead centre, it points to 9 o clock.
I've tried loads of different ones and it's always the same.
The ones pioneer use would be perfect because the white line on them is really bold.

Thanks jojo, i've been checking some out, found a few that look ok.

29.04.2011		You could always change the knobs =)
