The firmware holds the device id which tells your computer what is connected. So without the 4-trak firmware I doubt we can make it happen :( Itch is slowly getting better, so perhaps one day we can have a software with the functionality of Traktor. Until then we must keep searching for the 4-Trak firmware.
yeh, but how to install even if someone like (oh I don't know, Dj TechTools) does grab a 4trak and make It spew up It's driver goodness, To install the ns6 driver update was done from inside itch. Some time's I feel stupid, it's not like having a platter that is a bit tighter will improve my mediocre scratching ability(no "cant scratch without real bla bla bla comments please), I's just that it is such a tiny little fix, not asking for any new anything, just for one company to make a phone call to the other and say "lets give them the file" thats all I would pay $100 for the bloody thing, we are customers of both companies and the little thing we want is just sitting on someones desk. :(
I would also gladly pay for proper hid jog response with Traktor. Itch's development is moving at snails pace and we will probably never see 90% of feature requests made in our lifetime. It's sad that we end up having to resort to hacks & shady stuff just to try get functionality from a product we "thought" would have from the start. That being said, to install the firmware is the easy part. You can put the unit into update mode without Itch. We could use sysex commands to give us a full dump. I suspect this is precisely why Numark refuse to release the midi commands, as we would be able to copy the firmware using system exclusive messages. Well, that's my theory anyway.
It may not even be a NI/Numark thing, could be a line in a contract with Serato that prevents them being able to release the firmware, so If its Serato I would say "you got your cut when I bought it, let me be free to change it", If it's Numark I say "I own it, please let me change it", and If it's NI I say "I'm your customer please let me backward compabilitarize my rig". Man I miss the love you felt from the mixvibes, and virtual dj forums, The tech crew were right there in the forums with you trying to fix up anything for you. Traktor is in my opinion the best digital dj software on the market, and numark make great kit, but I do miss that open source community feel. well good talking to ya, back to trying to virtual OSX my laptop so I can use the mac only tsi file editor, lols with tears. peace
