    Default Is it possible to controll ABLETON with S2?

    Hey,

    edit: sorry, you need to press both shift buttons with the S2 to enter MIDI mode.

    I don't use Ableton but I'm guessing once the S2 is in MIDI mode you can map the controls on the S2 in Ableton. So basically, you still need to tell Ableton what you want each button on the S2 before anything actually happens.

    Ok, that side is good. Open Traktor and go to your S2 tab, check that switching to MIDI isn't disabled.

    Have you thought about using traktor and ableton together by syncing them? The s2, iMo is gonna be better with traktor considering it was designed for it but this way you could still use some ableton features but do the mixing in traktor. are you considering using ableton to DJ over traktor? if so I would say buy an apc40 or apc20 and a seperate controller with some knobs.
