**Please help! Messed w/ mappings and S4 won’t work**

I tried to use a Maschine mapping for the S4 I found on TraktorBible. The mapping was for Traktor Scratch Pro 2 and I just have Pro 2.

I thought that wouldn’t be a problem.

I am very new to mappings so I was kind of winging it on the installation. I opened a file in the controller editor and also added the tsi file in traktor’s controller manager.

Now my S4 doesn’t work. The display about the loop size encoder says ON on both sides and that’s it.

I tried to restore the default but that didn’t fix it. I’ve deleted the maschine mapping as well.

What do I do?

when you want to add a new piece of gear to your current mapping you want it hit “add” on top, not the the “import” button the bottom.

Also I think if you just unplug and replug your S4 it will read it and set the default mapping.

delete the mapping, unplug the S4, plug it back in again.
