S4 - Fx tricks in midi mode (new user video)

[loop]

Me. Want. A custom built midi fighter. Sexy sexy.

I have started to collect the parts to build a Nano Fighter. I'll use a Korg NanoKontrol for a brain. It'll have 24 buttons and 18 knobs/faders. What I can't implement on the Nano base is the LEDs . The NanoKontrol firmware & software does not expose the LEDs for MIDI control.

Thanks for the details. I'm about halfway through my MF mapping and am a little lost on what FX combos would be best because I don't really use a whole lot of FX normally. So finding good combos and their most optimal settings has been a bit of a struggle. These ideas will definitely help.

I am doing the same thing as well so that's why I am looking for combo's and sweeps to setup on the X1

+1 on the combo Yul, thanks for sharing.

Excellent work Yul, very inspiring.

I'm just working on a mapping for my X1 that controls decks 3 & 4, then in Shift mode is a sample and effects control.

Plus I've got a midifighter coming Monday which I'm going to map for FX.

Your thread has given me lots of ideas

In midi mode how are the jogs / faders compared to normal - can you tell the difference even?

Making me feel like I need to sleep with my s4 so I can become that creative and useful with it.

Exactly what I've done for the last week, my girlfriend now officially hates me.

Do not worry about it, now we love you, very much


Great video!
sure, in NI don't know about this trick

P.S. but perhaps they know, but they do not want that would we opened all the possibilities at once

Great video Yul might be a stupid question but what fx do you have mapped to the tempo faders and is it a freeze or something like that that switches on at the bottom of the faders travel?

I just used the jog and (pitch ) fader to control FXs so no I didn't have to think about it and didn't feel any sensible difference. It may be the case when using the jogwheel for its native purposes (but then I would switch back to the embedded mapping if I need so)
As for faders I just don't know, I didn't checked or paid attention.

Because I set up the pitch faders as modifiers however I can tell the modifier states are more properly read by the software (unlike on some other units where if you move the fader too quickly the software miss some states which makes juggle mode a bit unreliable).

(thanks) No it's not stupid, it depends on the preset called, you may have heard either a beatmasher, a lofi, a TTFX and a reverb all together or it may have been a beatmasher, transpose stretch, reverb and delay (I think) if that's what you've heard. The 'transpose stretch' progressively changed to a low setting with the addition of the reverb and delay makes a kind of freeze but it isn't one.
I think that's what you refer to?

Excellent, think I'll map a midi version myself then - thanks
