S4 questions

S4 questions

Hey everyone,

Just stocking up on my s4 videos as I wait til I can order my S4(on friday)

I wanted to know if there was a known mapping for controlling the individual sample decks filters and volumes?

From what I can see, you only have control over the deck filter and volume fader.

trying to figure out if I want to use my midi fighter or my X1 along side the s4 when I get it.

Maybe I could remap the effects knobs as volumes or filters up top while keeping the meters and loop display active?

I’d like to have the midi-fighter mapped with some effects but I’m sure the X1 would be better mapped if the S4 is lacking these controls. I noticed in one of the dubspot tutorials that he had to demonstrate some of the functions with the mouse or something off screen.

For some reason I thought you could hold down the sample trigger button and turn one of the knobs above the buttons for filter and one for volume. I dont think its the case.

Depending on how your using the sample decks I guess it might be a little too much control maybe?

I did a search for S4, filter, volume, sample and nothing came up that directly answered my questions. So hopefully someone can enlighten me.

I’d recommend you grab the DVD from the store and get this for your X1 http://www.traktorbible.com/freaks/mappingview.aspx?id=199. There is a sample control TSI provided with Tracktor but mine is a bit more versatile.

+1 on the DVD. Padi and I both use and X1 alongside the S4 though. Lots of various mappings on Traktorbible.com

So with this mapping paddy,

do you enable 8 triggers on the s4?

I’ll have to order that dvd this weekend.

That mapping is an X1 mapping made to work with the sample decks. As is this one :slight_smile: http://traktorbible.com/freaks/mappingview.aspx?id=207

Ryan, you get the retriggers by switching deck focus on the S4, then the hotcues act as retriggers for the sample decks
