s4 right jog wheel

s4 right jog wheel
Posted on: 23.11.2010 by Arica Grow
When I unpack my s4 box today, the left jogwheel was came off. I put it back following the video made by photojojo. After recalibrate both sides of the jogwheels, the left works well, but unfotunately the right one cannot scratch at all. When I try to scratch or scroll the track, it only makes a slight movement in the track. The pitchbend is also down in the right side. Anybody can help me??? I've recalibrated it for several times already...

I have a video here to describe the problem.

i have also a not working right jogwheel which is very frustrating when sou see the promo video's where scratching from here to moon and backwards is showed, i am not a scratcher but an oldskool dj just wanted to swop my denon 3500s for something newer and get rit of changing cd's all the time.
However if i toss my contoller on it's back the jogwheel's are hanging downwards and guess what happened.... yes...the right wheel is working again, the load lamp is off and a cue can be made without it sticking in the scatch mode. so you might try this also it might help you to find out where the problem comes from.
next step I believe i ll mount it to the ceiling to keep it working.
It sounds Stupid but toyota is calling it cars back but Ni is not so far yet. Sometimes i wished i had waited for the new denon 6000 controller. Anyway my dealer offered to return to him because he might have some trick(s) to help things back on track, it cost some extra free time and traveltime but hopefully it will help.

I tried to get someone to do this over at NI, but never heard back from them. Set the controller to a user mapping and see if the problem persists. You can try Telly's here.

Another thing you can try is to put the S4 into midi mode by pressing shift + browse and mapping the jog wheels to a basic function.

After a evening , the right jog can scroll the track and scratch. BUT the freeze still happes very often like yesterday.. Whlie you scroll through the track, it will suddenly stop at a certain point for a while, then continue scrolling. The same applies to scratch function, it will immediately freeze when I try to do scratch. I'm seriously considering this is a defective jogwheel, it has nothing to do with recalibrating.

I believe it is best. NI German is much closer than DJTT. I do not want to wait...

I'm not sure how DJTT is handling returns, but it's best to contact them at the store directly. I wonder if it would be easier for you just to return it to NI?

If it's a real issue and not just a software glitch, DJTT are normally really good about paying postage etc to replace a unit. There was a guy on here who had to send his VCI-100 back like 3 times due to burnt out LEDs.

(I just replaced mine myself )

I would have the supplier replace the unit. Yeh it sucks to wait but if the jogwheel is jacked up, who knows what else is also.

Did you upgrade to 1.0.1 through the service center app that installed with the software? There's also new drivers on there you need to install.
