Hi guys, dont know if this been up… But i spoke to a dealer today about the S4, and he said that NI has done some improvents on the S4, hopefully this is not a salestrick and true. Cant wait to order this week
One more thing, ayone seen Sebastian Ingrosso at Sensation Portugal? Where he does the Destination Unknown intro? Can we do that on the S4, if so, how?!
I think he ment the hardware, better solding or something? I dont know, I just now i cant wait until i get mine Feel like a noob using Virtual DJ when i see what you can do with the traktor software
first notes as samples you can trigger, some bassline on one deck you filter, then play the melody, beatmash one note, apply delay and reverb, pitch the key, apply more effects to get it nasty, meanwhile cue up the drop, some delay freeze action and drop it like it’s hot..
No way to control the Key on the s4…thats about the only thing I see you couldn’t do. Of course you could re-map any knob to do that…or get some other controller in addition to the s4 to do so. I have an X1 that i have mapped for that along with bass kills and control of effect decks 3 + 4 among other things
Like I said before tho…no way to control the key unless you choose to re-map a knob to do it…It’s no biggie but you do lose the orignal function of the knob/encoder
First you play the notes as a sample then you play the melody as a loop along with the claps, then you loop the last note, stop the claps, and slowly ride the pitch fader while HP filtering the loop. On the other deck play a sweep as a one shot then cue up the track and just let it drop. Pretty simple I’d say!
It’s hard to believe they are making hardware changes when the unit has been in the market for a bit longer than 1 year. Might be a mapping/firmware update.
