CDJ mode - could be the (kind of) answer to the Jog problem
So before I go and put this suggestion in the box, I wanted to get a little discussion going, and see how many people would like to see a CDJ mode implemented into the controller.

CDJ mode (as it was called on the Pioneer CD decks the S4 got its inspiration from) is a way to disable to "vinyl mode" (or ability to press down and "grab" the track) so that the entire platter or jog acts as only pitch bend.

Do you believe the S4 hardware/software had the capability to completely disable the top of the jog?

The reason why this would be a potentially very good (band-aide) solution is that it would prevent DJ's that purely mix and don't require scratching to air on the safe side of caution while playing. If the jog is having issues and freezing up because the jog believes it's being held down, why not offer a way to remove the problem in the root? I could certainly live with this, and would be happily fine cue-ing up my track un-quantized with a midi-fighter (or the S4 cue buttons would work perfectly fine if you don't have one :P).

Anyone else able to live with that?
