S4 Fx Units buttons not working properly Posted on: 13.05.2013 by Frederic Acidera Hey guys, as of a few days I've been running into a bit of a problem that is not critical but bothersome. I will try to describe the issue as clear a possible and maybe someone would have a solution out there. Currently running Traktor 2.6.1.; my S4 Driver is up to date as well as Service Center and Controller Editor. The FX unit selector below the gain knob of each channel in the S4 is having a rather odd behavior. FX 1 only works on decks C and A FX 2 only works on decks B and D Main issue for Decks C and A: - LED on FX1 works but not in FX2 - FX2 does not work or lights up - FX2 only works via MIDI not HID, and only lights up in the Controller Editor For Decks B and D - is the same issue but affecting FX1. So on the left side of the controller only FX1 will work, and on the right side on FX2. Ideally you should be able to select both. I've installed and uninstalled the S4 Driver, the controller editor. Cleaned all other mappings. I feel like I just hit a wall of frustration and can't believe on anything else before looking into Service from NI....any ideas are appreciated. Cheers. | |

| Frederic Acidera 15.05.2013 | I believe I identified the issue. There was an old mapping for another midi device made on a previous version of Traktor that probably was causing the conflict with the effects in the S4. I had to back up my collection and delete all the mappings. Restore to factory settings. Up to this point I didn't see any changes until I finally added the S4 DJTT mapping. Then, Boom! S4 buttons were back working on HID not in midi. Weird, but glad I did it. So strange but problem solved. Never mind...Mapping was working on MIDI only LEDs worked but not HID...it might be a hardware issue. :/ |
| Frederic Acidera 14.05.2013 | I guess that's going to be my solution... :/ |
| Charline Dye 13.05.2013 | You can map the buttons as makar1 said, but you can't change the led behavior. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 13.05.2013 | You can override the buttons with your own mappings if you're not happy with the default behaviour. |
| Frederic Acidera 13.05.2013 | Oh! Yeah I'm using 4 FX units, I have reset to factory settings a few times. What's weird is that I run 4 fx units on an S2 and I was able to use both FX banks. :/ |
| Nedra Fresneda 13.05.2013 | Are you using 2 or 4 FX units? If the answer is the later then that's how the S4 works, if not then try resetting your unit to factory settings. |
