Can you use 2 Kontrol S2's with one computer running Traktor 2.5?

[DJAtomDavey]

My friend and I both own a NI Kontrol S2, and we're wondering if there was any simple solution to using both of them on one computer (I.e. He'd run Decks A & B on his Kontrol and I'd run Decks C & D on mine) or would we have to create our own custom mapping? Or is there a custom mapping already out there for this?

Is this even possible? We're using a Sony Viao with 6 GB of Ram and a 2.3 GHz Processor. If no solution exists, any tips on mapping this?

Negative...S2 doesn't have any inputs

That doesn't matter though as it only means you can't run audio through the controller. DJAtomDavey, I think it should be doable with one S2 in midi mode.

Download any of the DJTT mappings (which are HID) and remap accordingly to control DECK C/D with one controller instead. Assign IN & Out channels. That could probably work. If it doesn't, try MIDI mode as Hest suggested.

Yes you can do it. just map it accordingly and set the in/out ports correctly.

Hey any luck getting this to work let me know as we want to do the same want to get one controlling A/B and the other C/D just not sure if it will recognise them as being the same?

Like the others said above, one S2 will need to be in MIDI mode so Traktor sees them as separate controllers.

Get an S2 mapping that has 4 deck controls already, you need it for deck C+D.

like this one from Ravishing https://maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/141

You need to duplicate this S2 mapping, so you get two mapping entries.
Assign each separate S2 to its own in and out ports and then it should work right away.
You don't need midi mode, you don't need to remap anything, it will work.

I prefer this method over linking two computers to get them synced, it's very stable and responsive this way.

Cool thanks heaps beaubryte just how do u mean duplicate it? Thanks

Just highlight your S2 mapping in the controller manager, click "edit", select "duplicate".
