Kontrol S4 Beta Driver (2.9.8) available for download.

New Windows beta drivers available for Audio 2/4/8 DJ and Traktor S4.

No need to request the beta drivers for the Kontrol S4 anymore,
they have been uploaded to the Support Pages.

The KS4 beta drivers are 2.9.8
Note: Installing the drivers alone may not fix issues especially if users have major DPC latencies of more than 4 ms in latency mon. Users should adjust the buffers and especially the new “USB buffer” for non-optimized computers .

I think I’m on the lucky side here. :wink:

Heres your MAC (macgregor) Driver :smiley:

Wow! If only I would have enough skill to wield that mother one day!

just installed the drivers. Didn’t notice any changes in CPU/RAM performance post install. It did however increase my latency setting in Traktor from 9ms to 10.4ms. Haven’t looked into properly yet and will share what I find out.

Hey Smitten, do the new drivers allow you to adjust the latency of both the audio and USB buffer.

Also for anyone who may know, what is the difference between the new way latency is calculated as opposed to the old way. With the old system I could get down to 2.4 but now with the new way its calculated it seems like I can only get about 6 or 7.

9

Let me have a look in a hour or so. Will let you know what I find…

10

The new system is completely different. There really is no way to compare them.

11

I dunno if this is of any use/interest:

12

So what’s a natural vinyl like latency? In the old traktor/serato I remember anything under 6 was “vinyl like”. I also remember in one of Ean’s videos he said anything under 10 is good in the new system. I think it would be a cool article for the blog if they could break it down for us.

@ smitten, thanks for the video.

Want to install the new driver today, but have a gig tonight and my S4 still is in the club from the last gig on thursday. Install it tomorrow and test it:slight_smile: But is there any notable changes? Could not see anyone posting any results in this thread… I my be blind, since im at work:stuck_out_tongue:

14

Downloaded the new driver today, and all of a sudden it says “no device connected” when I turned on Traktor. I turned on/off my S4, restarted everything. Nothing!! Help please!!!

15

Did you go into audio settings in preferences and select the S4?

16

:wink: Business or Economy Class..? :wink:

A must do on PC Karlos? If I have no issues (in Economy Class :wink:) is it not better to wait for the final version?
Thank you.

17

Ask Tiger Woods on how to wield your driver :slight_smile:

18

That!

19

So I have really no problems with audio drop outs ,cpu , etc with my s4 should I install this new driver or just stay ?

I ended up uninstalling the beta as it was causing some crazy feedback sound and clicking on the right jog. I did a recalibration of the right jog just in case but no luck. After uninstalling the beta I had to re-install the first service pack and hey presto - no problems.

Even though some people treat BETAs like EULAs (i.e. “No - don’t care about the details - f#ck it, click, click, click”) it is worth noting that the release build will likely be very different. I am not remotely worried at this point.
