Kontrol S4 Traktor “HOW CAN I MAP SEVERAL FX INTO ONE BUTTON (COMBO)?”
Hey everybody,
since I’ kinda new in mapping I was wondering how I can map different FX (e.g. beatmasher & reverse) so I just have to press one button on my S4 and those FX are used simultaniously.
(if this is the wrong forum/thread please tell me)
Looking forward to you responses

This would be under controller mappings but you simply create 2 midi functions for the 2 FX (4 commands total). 2 FX selector and 2 FX unit “X” on. Make sure they’re all on the same button with the “learn” function. For both type will be button, direct, then select the FX at the bottom of the controller manager the FX on will be direct hold (or toggle if you prefer) type with a value of 1. Now if you want the value to change that takes a bit more mapping.
Thank you so much for you quick respond 
I really appreciate your help
No problem man
Sorry, me again. I’m kinda new to this: so where do I select the FX? When I open the controler mapping I can’t edit the S4 mappings…
Go to YouTube and look up armyofme’s ‘drama sweep effect’ for traktor. This should give you a place to start on mapping fx combos.
something I havent looked at in a long time, but maybe can help get you started.
Hey guys 
thanks for your quick answer! I’m amazed how helpful you are!
unfortunately when I click “learn” and push the button / knob nothing happens…
what do I have to do?
[ATTACH=CONFIG]11475[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]11475[/ATTACH]I want to mapping the “Deck C Filter” but it says “inappropriate control” when I w push learn…
any ideas?
it depends which knob you are talking about, the kontrol s4 has a mapping hardwired into it - remapping over these functions without disabling their primary function just confuses the software.

It think that might be the problem! How can I disable their primary function?
I’d like to use the Filter knob (from deck c)
(thanks for your answer, trux )
I am one of the dudes who has spent a gazillion hours mapping combos on my S4. One quick and easy piece of advice is for you to spend a few bucks and buy a midifighter. This will save you headaches and will also allow you to get back to what you enjoy…THE MUSIC.
I took on the mapping as a challenge and while it’s fun, it really doesn’t give you an ounce of music ability. Another cool device you can get is a Maschine with the midifighter mapping. With maschine you can assign 2 notes to each pad, this allow you to easily trigger extra effects. I added a reverb to my gater effect which made it sound less sharp.
its kinda tricky, you have to replace the default mapping with a user mapping and turn off the default (hard-wired) mapping. a user mapping will not have 100% the same functionality as the hard-wired one, which for me is a total dealbreaker. - read thru that page i linked ya to understand what i mean.
but, you can use any other midi controller to assign things to. you can even use an iphone/ipad if you happen to have one.
i have a nanokontrol1, they are only $40 and are ok/good enough - its no midi fighter. i have built a mapping for quick djing tools like killing eq on deck a-d, multi fx, turntable fx, delay and pan L/R all at your fingertips.
custom mapping = awesome
Moved to Controller mappings forum. Also, please remove the player from your sig mate. Cheers 
I see… think I’’ get myself an extra Pad (nano maybe) … anyway, thanks for your help 
@ bigbeatzz I rareky use a forth deck, which is why I want to use the left knobs and buttons as an FX deck… anyway, I think I’ll get myself an extra pad or sth… cheers, mate 
Sry mate -.-’
Hey Adrian,
Maybe I can help you with mapping one of your S4 channel knobs as FX unit instead of deck EQ
Interested?
