    Angry s4 not being recognized by Traktor 2

    Hey all,

    I lent my S4 to a buddy while I was traveling and haven't been able to get it to work ever since. There are a few interesting issues:

    -None of the buttons work, but I can still play sound through the machine (clicking play in traktor with mouse)
    -I use a mac, the s4 still works on my friends Windows machine.
    - I have restarted the computer
    -I have updated to NI's latest s4 driver.
    -I have tried both the "restore" button and setup wizard.

    What now??

    You could try swapping to a different usb port & lead? Does the s4 have the same midi mode as the s2? Maybe its going straight into midi mode, both shifts do it on the s2. Good luck mate

    Not sure - How do I check & install?

    Tried swaping ports, no luck.

    It looks like the Controller Manager isn't registering the s4 in a port.

    Update to the latest controller manager.

    It should be in the ni service centre app, I think you can get it from there.
    It normally installs when you install traktor, it should be in you applications folder, Controller Editor

    Ok, so probably I was describing it with a different name. It should be "controller editor"... I'm at away from my DJ computer so I couldn't get the name right. But here is the link to the available versions. 1.43 appears to be the latest.
