Using the S4 with traktor pro
Posted on: 06.11.2010 by Irvin Cee
Except the sample decks, Traktor Pro seams better than Traktor S4.

So has anyone tried using the Kontrol S4 with the regular Traktor Pro ?
Is it possible to do it in HID ? or do you have to go back to midi ?
or the vu meters working ?

because I would like to get an S4 and used it with my TTs and traktor scratch as a mixer, I don't want to wait for a software update.

You'd have to use midi mode, but why do you say that? It seems there are very few bugs in TPS4.

Well as i say since you already have TSP, buy the S4 and you can experiment and do as you wish.

yeah I have TSP since last year...
I am using it on CDJs + DJM when I play out...
At home I use a VCI-100, and just got some technics.
So right now i'm using the VCI as the mixer, but that sucks, I want a real mixer!

And since I also need a standalone portable controller for some gigs, I thought the S4 was the perfect compromise between a mixer and a all in one controller.

If I didn't needed the portability, I would have bought a DJM 700, but it's too heavy..

Do you already have TSP? If so then it doesn't really matter since you're planning on getting an S4 anyway.

If not, I wouldn't bother getting both since there will at some point be a timecode update for S4 and TSP is quite a lot to spend just for Timecode. That said, it is half price and you do get an Audio 8...

decisions!

because it has timecode!
and I want to use the S4 primarly as a mixer with TTs
+ i want to change the mapping on some stuff
