S4 browsing

S4 browsing

Hi guys. New to the forums. Looks like an awesome place for knowledge so ill dig right in. Just got my new S4. Its a dreamy piece of kit and love every bit of it.

My only gripe with it is the browsing. I am used to when you hold shift in to browse your folders and then just without shift to browse in whatever folder you are in.

Now when I press shift I browse some shoddy folder of “favourites” above the track list. I am at a loss for what to do. Is there something I am missing or is there a way of mapping it to work like I want it to.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The default mapping for browsing the folders in the left pane is first enter Browse mode, then use either decks’ Move/Active knob (the knob to the left of the Loop In button), this will scroll up/down your folders/playlists in the left pane. Press the knob to collapse/expand the folders. Use either jog wheel to scroll though the songs in the folder/playlist, or use the Browse knob as well.

Thanks you are a champ!

and what about RTFM?

As far as I can recall i did read it. Possibly missed it. Maybe read it didnt register. But all good now. I found the answer from who can post a proper reply. Thanks for you valued input.

A thing I’ve always found useful and what I rely upon regularly is the nice section called “index” within the manual where I could, oh luck, find the following:

  • Browse button (48,61,131,133,138)
  • Browse encoder (25,131) + prelistening to a track (30) + quick loading(129)
  • Browse mode (48,131)
  • Browser (29)
  • Browsing from your S4 (128) + quick references (202)

I must admit my initial reaction was a bit, mmh, was totally, idiotic and I am picky. But please just don’t say “Possibly missed it” because that’s a hypocritical euphemism.

edit: had a not so good day too, so I sent you a pm.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. As with you its been a long day and have looked in the wrong place for my answers. After trying to figure out how to fix my problem and failing i thought I come and ask a community who might give me a quick response. So I am sorry if I came across as a dick. Enjoy your day.

deserves a bump for idiots like me

You didn’t come across as a dick. Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy your S4.

why? this thread is over a year old and nothing in here that you cant figure out by reading the manual..
