Completed - Kontrol S4 Midi Mapping for Traktor Pro 1.2.7 by DJ AJ Posted on: 18.01.2011 by Roger Gomez Hi GuysJust wanted to share with you my custom mapping of the Kontrol S4 for Traktor Pro. I put this together as I couldn't live without the 4 band Xone EQ, Super Knobs, Combos, Custom Jog FXs, and also I wanted to make a mapping that gave you all the 4 deck transport controls always on hand, rather than selecting Deck C/D every time you wanted to access them. I also found that there were a few bugs and things i didn't like in the new S4 software and many things I missed about the simple but effective and flexible workflow i was used to in traktor pro. Anyways the key features of this mapping are: Full use and assignment control of FX units 1,2,3,4. Jog Wheel FX for FX unit 1,2 Fader Fx Dry wet control for 1,2 Hold/Toggle mode for FX 1 & 2 FX Combos and Pre-sets Preset Scratch/Rewind Control Preset Freeze Control Easy FX Selection, combos and presets (use shift keys) using (previous) gain knobs All transport controls available at all times CUP, DROP, Filter on all now easily available 3 Shift Buttons Cue Jumps Beat Jumps Scratching/jog tempo bend Xone 4 band eq Deck Focus Easier loading (shift + Cue button for relevant deck) Master Tempo Control - 2 Types (s1 + Left pitch fader, s1+ Browse knob) List and Tree Browse , expand and preview And more. Easiest thing is for you to check out the attached JPG as i have labelled all the changed functionality (sorry for the low res picture as I only have my iphone 4). I have attached all my settings files in the ZIP, so choose the ones you need, as you will also need to import the fx settings/layouts to make it work (so make sure you back up your existing set up first), please note you also have to use to the kontrol editor to load the midisettings to your Kontrol S4 as they needed to be tweeked. Anyway hope this helps any of you guys out there who still like using Traktor Pro 1.2.7. Let me know what you believe. I hope the photo explains well enough the layout easily, I have focused on making this as intuitive as possible. Cheers Ajay | |

If you really want the early draft version I did, let me know and I can provide it to you as is as a starting point, but its not as well laid out as this one at all. |

| Roger Gomez 04.04.2011 | Hey mate, you can just map the function to the loop in and loop out buttons. If i recall correctly I have mapped Loop4 using No shift, Loop on/off using main shift button (near transport controls). You could probably just add it on top of whats there by using one of the other additional Shift Modifier buttons (on top of the right hand side pitch fader). You can check the modifier value required by opening the mapping window and hitting the button to see what value comes up under M1. Hope this helps. |
| Rosamond Sayko 31.03.2011 | Nice work!! I wan't to ask:How can assing the tempo bend butons(traktor pro software)to the loop in and loop out in the s4 controller? |

| Emilia Colchado 27.01.2011 | any advice for us that ONLY have the S4 software? |
| Thurman Torrescano 18.01.2011 | damn! I had it working, then I messed up traktor by checking all the bockes when importing the TSI. Then did a reinstall, deleting everything from native instruments. After installing everything again I can not load your AJ.ncc file into the control editor anymore, it only takes ncks4 files now, what the hell... -edit- ok nevermind, if you click open template in the top menus it does work just not from the menu on the right side, sorry |

| Gigi Weese 18.01.2011 | First of all nice work. i have not loaded them yet but will do this later. Quick Question. Judging only from the picture: No Hotcues? No Loop recorder (not that I use it much) Are the tempo faders still there as I seem them labelled as drywet? |
| Thurman Torrescano 18.01.2011 | thanks mate! |
| Julissa Serrone 18.01.2011 | props man! |
| Leeanna Ayla 18.01.2011 | Nice work. |
| Ayana Shvartsman 18.01.2011 | it s the same that i want to do under traktor S4, with the fx control using the jog. can you help me to do this under S4 ? |
