    Default Question about connecting 1200s to Kontrol S4

    Basically my plan is to upgrade to Traktor Scratch Pro 2 when it comes out and then to use my old trusty 1200s that have just been gathering dust (of course on the decksavers) through the S4 and then using the S4 as a mixer with great effect controls. I would use the Jog Wheels to modulate/modify the effects and the 1200s to control the decks. My main motivation is that the S4 Jog Wheels, although great, are simply too small for any legitimate scratching that would come from me being that my hands are monstrous and the S4's jog wheels are both the size of a tiny pancake. So my only question is...how on earth am I going to make this work? Like, actually, it sounds great to me right now, but honestly I've sat here thinking about how to make it work, and I don't know if it's my sleep deprived state, stupidity or this idea's impossibility that's keeping me from thinking this one through. Any tips or ideas would reaaaalllly be appreciated.

    plug in the 1200s to the s4 inputs > set them to phono > set deck to live input/timecode(with tsp2) > calibrate if using timecode > wiki wiki

    Well that was simple...And I'll still have full control over the S4 as a controller as if the Tables weren't plugged in?

    sounds similar to my setup (aside form the fact I'm using a VCI100 as a 'mixer') and everything on thre controller works 'as is' - only thing on mine is don't touch the platters - Traktor gets very confused if it gets input from a platter and timecode at the same time ...

    You can hit that little button that turns the jog wheels into a giant knob. It will let you use it as a master control to effects or whatever you chose to map it to.

    but if you had the fw upgrade and setup fader fx mode it shouldn't be a problem

    After you set it to control FX dry/wet in preferences.
