FX 3 and 4 for Kontrol S2/Maschine
Posted on: 09.03.2012 by Hee Muthler
I'm aware that you can use custom mappings for Kontrol S2 to control FX 3 and 4 from the S2 hardware itself.
I have a Maschine and I mapped my FX 3 and 4 to the Maschine. When I try to use FX 3 and 4 on the Maschine, the effects are shown on the Traktor interface as working with all the corresponding lights on.
However, I cannot hear the effects actually taking place. FX 1 and 2 work perfectly through the Maschine but when I try to use FX 3 and 4, the results are unavailable.

Anyone know how to get around this?

I was able to route FX 3 and 4 to Decks 1 and 2, respectively, when using my turntables. I can't seem to figure it out on the Kontrol S2
Maybe it's the same kind of lunacy as with the S4 - see here:

Umm, you have to turn the fx units on for the deck, you can do it with the mouse if there isnt a control mapped to it. Under the filter knob there should be 4 buttons, 1,2,3 & 4. they switch the FX Units on per deck, click 3 & 4 and they will then work fine.

You can definitely use all the effects units on each deck

I tried the exact same thing. I just figured fx 3&4 are only for decks 3&4 so I let it go. Didn't really believe about it beforehand, but I realized that there are few instances when I'd actually need 12 effects out haha. I'm sure you could mod around it somehow though.
