Unable to put S4 in MIDI mode--help?

[tigerblood]

I'm trying to do so in order to manually map the S4 for use in ableton, and i can't even get the first step down--putting it into MIDI mode itself. I understand you have to put it in MIDI by pressing the SHIFT+Browse buttons on the S4, and the message ON should display in the loop recorder to show it's in MIDI mode--i press shift/browse and it does nothing. Any ideas why i'm an idiot?

Im not sure I am trying to do the exact same thing that you are and mine goes into midi mode. make sure you are pressing shift + browse at the same time.. and make sure your s4 is plugged in to power... other than that I have no idea... but even when I get it into midi mode I still cannot map it ... I am having a lot of problems as well with this someone help!!!!

You have to pres shift-hold it- press the brouwse button (not the encoder!) and go to this screen



if you are there you select (set them to ON) al the three options (TRACK, SYNC & REMOTE) that are placed behind TRAKTOR KONTROL S4

and then it's time to map!

You don't turn on all of them, just Track if you are planning on working with regular MIDI notes (ie using your s4 to play a synth or a drum rack) an Remote for CCs (knobs and stuff. Sync only applies if you are trying to allign MIDI clocks.
