S4 + Midi Fighter

[PRESSPL>Y]

Oh and one more thing, I think that having control over the effects knobs in the S4 is important. Why? For one they are there. I just feel if something is there, it should be made useful, if it can.

For me, the two most common effects, reverb and delay, are necessary for adding flavor to the track. Well, not necessary, but they are great for adding that extra spice while your hands are free. For effects like these, I think they need a knob to control the parameters, or the wet/dry.

The reason I even say this is because I'm using the Deckalize mapping now, and it's knocked out a bit of the functionality of the effects controls on the S4 for me. I'm not able to assign the effects deck 1 (the only effects deck that seems to be untouched by the mapping) to the B and D decks. So as it stands I'm limited to either using the S4 layout or Deckalize effects, but not both.

I'm using this mapping at the moment, http://www.djtechtools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10137 ,
With a few tweaks but to solve your problem with the effects acting on both decks at the same time...While holding shift, press play, and an led lights up to assign a deck A-D and i dont know if its just on the S4 but the effects are then deck specific, including the sample banks.

If this could be used with more effects maybe as a toggle shift it would be class, just sayin! :P

I'm interested in hearing more about a S4 + MF combo. It's the setup I'm currently considering buying

Anyone interested in collaborating and comming up with a perfect companion mapping for the S4?

I have some ideas, but it would be cool to get collective input.

I volunteer my time sir.

This is my initial thought. Have four buttons mapped to key, different values of reverb, delay, and flanger each. Shift for super buttons that trigger effects in chained mode. My thought is to maybe have different mappings for different genre's and what suits those genre's better. I don't use the Beatmasher or Slicer much with House and Techno, but if you're playing a more electro set you can load up your genre specific mapping.

That would be pretty cool, Maybe have Freeze delay in there to allow for Ean's lil trick to change tempo's! :P
