New S2 Mapping by Ean Golden
Posted on: 18.11.2011 by Sarai Suchman
Hi I currently own an S4 and planning on getting a midifighter pro BM

Will the mapping that Ean is making for the S4 that is similar to the S2 jogwheel effects mapping be able to work with the IG or MFPBM togeather?

There's a download link in the receipt they emailed you. Tripped me up too, haha.

I've also noticed that, despite there being a mapping for Beat Tap [the usual Shift buttons], it doesn't seem to be working at all for me. :/

Any update on the s4 mapping, and if the FX3 and FX4 will be available with the jog option...would be perfect to have the jog effects and an extra controller for fx3/4 as well as sample decks. Basically full control over traktor on one layer.

Am I the only one seeing something wrong with...

Each Deck has one dedicated Jog FX system that are built into effects units 3 and 4 (the s2 can not control these effect units normally) Each deck can also add additional effects on 1 and 2 using the 8 knobs and buttons.
From what I can see, it's controlling FX units 1 and 2, 3 is unused and 4 is reserved for the Freeze Delay easter egg?

To bad nobody from DJTT gives a new planning for the S4 mapping.

The s2 settings page only works when your using the standard s2 map I believe.

You can change them in the mapping page

Also if you look through the mapping for left & right.loop.move its quite easy to fix the beatjump problem, change it from direct to loop.

anyone else running the S2 mapping notice that the LEDs on the S2 itself are stuck on the master output, and not displaying individual channels? it's set to PGM under the 'Traktor Kontrol S2' heading. can't figure out how to make them read the channel they're assigned to. any help would be very much appreciated!

Well, Ean's S2 mapping is a full mapping like you pointed out it in your first comment. It doesn't have a default mapping in it, as you can see by this comment too.

My biggest gripe in this amazing mapping is the fact you can no longer 'move' in increments depending on the loop size selected. That was such a cool feature which I hope we can get back!
And your comment got me believeing and I imported the default user S4 mapping in the settings sections of the software files (the one with the mapping commands you can see) and it has exactly the same missing feature as above and also what you said about the missing loop length display. Unfortunately, to me missing the loop lenght display and also jumping through the song with left knob is worse than not having a mode indication for the FX mode you are in with my S4 mapping, so I am going to forget about trying to manipulate the LEDs for now.

that means to get complete LED control, I have to remap a user TSI to do everything the S4 has to offer and leave out the default S4 user mapping
depends on what you talk about, because anyway you won't have complete led feedback control, you'll loose, whatever happens (for the time being at least) the loop length displays and the independent blinking leds (from the copy mode for example).


No wonder why it's taking so much time for Ean and his mad mappers to get the S4 mapping out.
that would assume you know already if they're going to provide a full user mapping (ie made from scratch) or a complementary mapping that sits upon the embedded one. Can't tell.

But the out command sure looks suspicious to me and I can't for the life of me figure out how to control the LEDs on my S4. Anyone out there know how to do it?
depends what you want to do (actually it depends on which mode you wanna use:
midi: common midi out functions
user: common hid mode out functions
user+ embedded: only beat phase monitor and volume related outputs would take over the native mapping.

Scamo I have no idea if this is even remotely helpful but I just saw LED and S4 in the same sentence and thought of this:

Yeah, and I am believeing he and his crew of mad mappers are doing something different, which us mere mortals also can't do. Like getting an output to work like a direct button. I am not sure if what I am seeing in the Controller Manager is that way, because I don't have an S2 connected. But the out command sure looks suspicious to me and I can't for the life of me figure out how to control the LEDs on my S4. Anyone out there know how to do it?

The most frustrating part of all of this is that Ean in the only person on the planet with access to Traktor's midi mapping.

5. Shift and effects knob to set effect in group mode -> Mapping
6. Control effect amounts through the knobs -> Mapping
7. Switch between single and group mode with shift "dry/wet button" -> Mapping

What I'd like to see is how the 3 FX modes differ. Maybe you could make a video of that too???

Hey scamo thanks for the comment. You mean how those three features differ? If so, yeah I believe it's a good idea to make another video to demonstrate these a little better. I will get to work on it soon.

Hey Luks,

Nice video. I wish I had the gear and software to do such a video. Good job!

I'd just like to list off the functions you found and note which ones are part of Ean's mapping and which ones are standard S2 functions from what I can see in the mapping (I don't own an S2). The listing may be right, could be incorrect too. Anyone can chime in and correct me.

Hope you don't mind.

So here goes.....

1. Control filter with gain knob -> Mapping
2. Shift and gain knob to control gain -> Mapping
3. Shift and jog to move faster through the Track -> Standard
4. Shift left encoder knob to turn on echo freeze -> Mapping
5. Shift and effects knob to set effect in group mode -> Mapping
6. Control effect amounts through the knobs -> Mapping
7. Switch between single and group mode with shift "dry/wet button" -> Mapping

What I'd like to see is how the 3 FX modes differ. Maybe you could make a video of that too???

No problem brotha. It is always cool to see Ean make a video. I am still working on my skills, would have made better demonstrations but the recording program I used limited me to 5 minutes. First video ever too.

Thanks mate! I wish Ean had actually included these features in the official mappings video.

yeah same overall im loving the mapping but i find that its a lil frustrating that we see the options set on traktor2 but we cant access them on our controller. eg. FX3

i'm very new to traktor and the s2 as i only recently got it like 3 days ago. so ive got loads more in exploring.

but overall it made DJing a whole lot more fun.

FX4 is reserved for the delay and is activated with shift + beat/loop jump knob. Pushing the knob while holding down shift will activate delay freeze.

I believe FX3 is not used in this mapping.

Maybe this will make you happy for a while, until Ean releases his? I am looking for testers.

  • My gain knobs are now filters. Not too difficult to un-map, but I wish I wouldn't have had to.
  • I can't load a new track without stopping the currently playing one.
  • My loop knobs only browse through the loaded track in single beat increments, regardless of the number of beats selected. Haven't figured out how to fix this yet.
  • The platters control FX bank 1 and 2, when it seems like they should be mapped to 3 and 4 so the S2 knobs can control 1 and 2.


I purchased this for the effects mapping, not all of the undisclosed "easter eggs". It's been more of a pain in the ass removing all the unnecessary "improvements" than it would have been just to make the effects map from scratch.
I kind of agree with your sentiment. Although I'm very grateful for this wonderful mapping, it has given me a few problems. And given that there is no documentation yet for these "extra" features I don't know if they are bugs or what.. I hope we can get some clarification from DJTT soon!

A few of your issues, I believe, are to do with settings, not the mapping: the cross fader mode (thanks for that!), loading without stopping, gain/filter knobs.. I too had to go through all the settings and reset them after installing this mapping. And I have no idea if some of these settings are needed for features of the mapping to work properly.. Again, documentation would be nice.

The loop/beat jump knob issue is the biggest problem I have and I hope it's just a bug and we get an update or instructions how to get the normal behaviour back.

ps. I don't mean to sound harsh or unappreciative, I do truly believe the mapping is awesome and wan't to help perfect it!
