If the case need be somebody could crack the encryption.
There are several layers which the proprietary NHL protocol's security layer could possibly exist on. http://www.softpanorama.org/Net/osi_...l_layers.shtml I'm sure there is a dev kit. If not I'll do some reading on interpreting HID. I'm sure Karlos can enlighten me if he eventually hopes for a S4 jailbreak.
Is there anybody else here skilled in penetration testing/reverse engineering/debugging?
Best case scenario there's no encryption just a special handshake going on between the hardware and application.

Yeah there is a full mapping that copies the NHL mapping that users can tweak in midi mode. Its fully customisable but the NHL mapping is not currently customisable.
Controller Editor is your friend.
Yeah just put the S4 in midi mode and its a midi controller like any other.
The jog wheel is far and above the best jog wheel there is on any midi controller. Nothing comes close.
Where theres a will, theres a way !!!
No-one "needs" an S4. You can achieve most of what the S4 can do with a VCI 100 and an X1.
With the right X1 mapping the sample functions are easy to use with an X1. Its perfect for the job.
Id certainly not say the the S4 can do things that other controllers cant.
But mapping the new Copy Mode for samples would be a bitch to do really well but i know a few guys on DJTT that could do it.
What the S4 does that no other controller(s) can do is do all the functions in NHL mode mode and do them on a unit that was designed ti work with Traktor.
I think if you have all the gear already then waiting for the Traktor update/upgrade is wise. If you have a VCI100 and a Midifighter or X1 you will be able to rock Traktors sample/loop features when they come out.
If you then love the sample features you may want to trade and get the S4 for a dedicated controller/soundcard.
So if your using an X1 for something that's natively labeled on the S4 you'll have to switch to midi mode to use those buttons on the S4 for something else? Guess I need to get a foot switch as well.
Hmm good point.
I was thinking of my own Midi mapping for the X1 that controls the sampler but yeah your right, NI will probably make an NHL mapping for the X1 and the Sample features.
You could then have your own Midi map for whatever...
