I dont have a 2nd midi fighter to know for sure.

But import the mappings into traktor and make sure your select in the midi in/out in the top right MF-A to Mapping-A(Instant Grat) and MF-B to Mapping-B(Deckalized).

That’s how I assume it would work.

I tryed that already, when you import the 2nd mapping it overides the first mapping! This is so frustrating!

I haven’t done this with an S4 but have the same problems with TSP 1.2.7. It can be made to work but the problem is that Traktor gets confused because both midifighters give the same identification info. You have to fiddle with the controller mapping setting every time you restart traktor – choose one midifighter in each of the in and out port menus for each mapping; you’ll be able to figure out which is which from trying it out. Unfortunately traktor forgets this info whenever it quits so using 2 of these is a huge pain in the ass. The Mac has AudioMIDI control panel which lets you rename one of the midifighters but that has no effect on traktor’s behavior unfortunately.

You need to use the small add button under the list of controllers for the second MF. Big import button for the first, then click add \> import and select the other MF mapping. Then assign them to their respective MF ports in the in/out settings.

That’s exactly what I was saying - AudioMIDI setup unfortunately fails to do anything as Traktor doesnt recognize the new name. Basically you just have to keep resetting the in and out ports every time you start traktor with these midifighters. It will work after that until you quit. Somebody should fix this…

Are you sure it won’t work if you make sure you plug in your MFs to the same USB ports each time? Just a stab in the dark, you’ve probably tried.

I’m not sure I’d go that far. Well, maybe a bit 😛

Yep, I never move them when I was having this problem. Though they were in a USB hub so maybe it’s possible if you only use the USB ports on the computer. But then you have no sound card, no other midi controllers, so I haven’t bothered trying that…
