Anyone has the S4 Manual (English / PDF)?

[Timmio]

I've searched throughout the forum, checked my account at NI, searched their whole website and googled on many variations, but I cannot find the S4 (controller and/or software) manual anywhere.

I assume it is not illegal to share a manual? But I cannot find it. Can someone send me (or upload it here?) a PDF manual in English?

I would be very pleased if that's possible

(EDIT: By the way, I don't have the software!! This question is not because I downloaded it illegally, I just want insights on the functionality of the software & controller)

It is illegal unless the manufacturer allows it. Unfortunately, my understanding is that NI doesn't want to provide non-owners of the S4 with access.

A legit way of obtaining the TP/TSP manual is to download and install the demo version.

That's weird, I regularly use manuals to see whether the product fits my needs before buying it eventually...

Thanks for your reply though! I didn't know there was a demo, it's fine with me to install that one (if I can find it...)

^^^ to clarify: there's a demo of TP/TSP, but afaik there's no S4 demo.

damn

Maybe I should refrase my question then, anyone in here who has S4 and the cd with the manual? I have a question for you (will send it via pm) about something that is in that manual.........

Yeah, I would like to have a look at the manual for the S4 as well if someone has it in digital format

You can not share the manual online. If you ask the question we can probably answer it.

Nevermind then, I wanted to check various sample deck functions and maybe see other new stuff that the S4 offers... For now I want to create comparable functionality in Traktor Pro (as sample decks can be 'simulated' by using additional decks and functionality like looping and sampling fx). Therefore I wanted to go through the whole manual and be able to create an awesome APC80 (APC40 + APC20) mapping...

I'll guess I have to check some youtube movies instead..
