    Question Trying to map Flux Mode to S4. Please help!

    I have never tried to map anything and I can never even get pre made maps to work. What I'm trying to accomplish is having flux mode mapped on specific decks on my S4 with LED feedback like this.

    Shift+Left.Load on/off Flux Mode with LED Feedback for Deck A
    Shift+Deck C Selector on/off Flux Mode with LED Feedback for Deck C
    Shift+Right.Load on/off Flux Mode with LED Feedback for Deck B
    Shift+Deck D Selector on/off Flux Mode with LED Feedback for Deck D

    I would like to be able to do this without ruining the default mapping. That's why I want use the shift function vs just the normal button press.

    Anybody out there able to help me accomplish this?

    First,
    Make your Shift buttons modifiers:
    Left shift: add modifier 1, learn it, make it hold modifier 1=1
    Right Shift: add modifier 2, learn it make it hold modifier 2=1

    Then add Flux:

    1) add in.. Flux Mode, deck a, m1=1, learn left.load.on, set it to toggle
    add out.. flux mode, deck a, no m's, learn left.load on
    2) the same as 1 but with the left selector button for deck c
    3) add in.. Flux mode, deck b, m2=1, learn right.load.on, set it to toggle
    add out.. flux mode, deck b, no m's, learn right.load on
    4) Same as 3 but with the right selector button for deck d

    Enjoy.

    Amazing bro. Thanks a lot. Works just the way that I wanted it. There where some mappings involved with Decks C/D that I did not know about (switches layout) but I just overrode those and now it works perfectly. Thanks a million again.

    Hello, i am really interested by your idea to use these buttons to activate flux mode on S4. Fro now, i use this method :

    Button, sometimes, i don't know why, the S4 desappears of the In/ port.

    I am looking the other button idea (http://www.native-instruments.com/fo...d.php?t=179921), nice ideas, but after all, i realise that i am using each button of the S4! So your method looks fine, especially with led on or not. Did you success? is your tsi works?

    By the way, i am looking a method to swirch layout. there is one by short cuts on keyboard (cntrl / and contrl +). doesn't work for me because i use an french keyboard! Do you found a way to switch with S4?

    This method works for me but in order for it to work you have to override the default switch layout default mapping (Shift+Deck C/D Selector). The LED feedback is nice because I can glance down and check if Flux is on or not.

    temp

    Thanks for your answer! your mapping is awsome but i don't have to use Key on Auto gain. Finally, i found a way to map Flux in one button : Load. Shift something is to much complicated when i mix, i want to activate flux on the fly, or desactivate it when i have looped for example.

    But i am thinking now that OFFSET button can be cool because very close of the loop section. I am gonna try to map them, plus keep the function "tempo reset" when you push them together. I like to going more and more faster in my set, so i use Tempo sync mode and relative. (not beat sync anymore).

    Thank you!

    Ah : last question : are you using an X1 in the same time? X1 plus S4?
