Reply to Completed - Kontrol S4 Midi Mapping for Traktor Pro 1.2.7 by DJ AJ

Hi Guys

Just 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
