Hi, i am a proud owner of a traktor kontrol s4 and i recently just bought two ndx800’s. as of last week i thought it would be a good idea to connect these items together and have the traktor s4 kontrol as the mixer and the ndx800’s as the cdj’s while they are running off of traktor. the only problem is, is that i do not have a clue how to connect the ndx800’s to the traktor program running through the traktor kontrol s4. I only have the traktor kontrol s4 traktor program and i have been trying days on end and i don’t know how to do it. do i need an upgrade? please somebody help me i really wanna dj with this new setup of mine
Yes there is a usb connection on the back of the ndx800’s but the problem is the 3 usbs can they all run off the laptop? And I dont know how to set it up with traktor itself will it also be okay with the traktor kontrol s4 program of traktor? Thanks guys I really need to do this before my gig this weeken
Yes i have the usbs and i know where to connect them in the traktor kontrol s4, my only problem is the 3 usbs can they all run off the laptop or do i need an audio card? also i don’t know how to set them up with the traktor kontrol s4 (program wise)… like is this compatiable with the traktor kontrol s4 traktor program edition? and if so does anyone know how to set them up? thanks!!
How do you want to use the Numarks? I assume you’d want to use them as midi controllers. In which case you want to download a tsi file or map them yourself. Using them to play CD’s through the S4 is pointless and wont work if you want full "mixer’ control over your tunes.
If you are going to use the Numarks as midi controllers you DO NOT need to connect them to the S4. Just plug the usb’s into your laptop. So long as your loptop is plugged into mains power you wont have a problem running the 3 usb devices. the Numarks also have their own power supply. I would recommend that if you need to use a usb hub then plug the S4 directly into a usb slot on your laptop as this will be your soundcard and plug your NDX800’s into the hub.
All of the controls on your s4 are going to work along with your Numarks so remeber that when you are using the mixer section. You dont want to be knocking any of the buttons mid set. When you find a tsi file (or map them yourself) you are going to have to remember your start up sequence. You are going to have to change the midi channel of one of the Numarks if you want to use 2 of them together. You are also going to have to make sure that you change the IN and OUT ports in Traktors controller manager to each individual NDX800. This could get a little complicated from here so try this and then come back and let us know how far youve got. Then we can work from there.
okay i have plugged the ndx800’s in the laptop aswell as the traktor kontrol s4, i now have no clue where to go from here could you help me? thanks guys
