Using Your TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 MK2
In this chapter, we will focus on what’s happening on your TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 MK2. By
reading this, you will learn:
▪
How to use the basic controls on your controller for navigating through the MIDI mapping
system.
▪
The list of all assignable control elements on your controller.
▪
How the various luminous elements give you some important information about their state.
To enjoy full functionality of your NI controller as a MIDI remote control, especially con-
cerning some control elements’ state and LED behavior, you need to tell your NI control-
ler what is the current state of the parameter in the MIDI target. You can do this by set-
ting up MIDI feedback channels coming from your MIDI target back to your NI control-
ler. This way, your controller will always stay up-to-date with the current parameter val-
ues in your target software/hardware. For more information on how to configure these
MIDI feedback channels, please refer to your target software/hardware’s documentation.
20.1 Basic Controls
This section shows you the commands available on your TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 MK2 for ba-
sic tasks: switching between MIDI mode and TRAKTOR mode, selecting the desired Deck on
each side, and selecting subsets (Pages) of MIDI assignments.
All these actions can of course be done via the Controller Editor user interface — see
chapter
for example. Nevertheless, using your NI controller instead can
be very handy in a live situation!
