Common Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 Questions
How do I MIDI map custom functions to the Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 knobs and buttons?
Open Traktor's Preferences, navigate to Controller Manager, and create a new Generic MIDI device. Then, use the Learn button to assign MIDI commands to specific controls on the S4 MK3. Ensure the S4 MK3 is set to 'MIDI Mode' by holding Shift + Browse.
Can I save and recall Remix Deck patterns or sequencer presets on the S4 MK3 itself?
No, the S4 MK3 does not have on-board memory for saving Remix Deck patterns or sequencer presets. These are saved and managed within the Traktor Pro 3 software as part of your Remix Sets.
How do I switch between decks A/B and C/D on the S4 MK3?
Use the 'Deck' buttons located above each jog wheel to toggle between controlling decks A/C on the left side and B/D on the right side of the controller.
Why is my S4 MK3 not being recognized by Traktor Pro 3 after updating the software?
Ensure you have the latest drivers installed from the Native Instruments website and that the S4 MK3 is selected as the audio device in Traktor's Audio Setup preferences. Try restarting both Traktor and your computer if the issue persists.
How do I use the Haptic Drive jog wheels on the S4 MK3 to feel the cue points and loop markers?
Enable 'Haptic Feedback' in Traktor's preferences under 'Mixer'. Adjust the 'Haptic Intensity' to your preference. The wheels will vibrate when passing cue points, loop in/out points, and beatgrid markers.
