Mapping via MIDI is possible, but the Jogs performance is poor and that's because of the S4 MK1 firmware. The reason S4 (MK1) will never be supported natively has been stated many times: It uses a proprietary communication protocol. I'm just telling these because the situation you're now in is not Atomix's fault. At least you should try VirtualDj 8 without a license or ask on these forums before getting a license to see if the unit is supported or not. Second, even if you use a different profile which is licensed, you should check first the supported hardware section to see if the controller you're interested for is supported or not. This means that VirtualDj will stop working with ANY controller after 10 minutes. Finally, Controller Editor from NI MUST be installed on your system in order to able to establish proper MIDI communication with the software (It acts like an interpreter that translates NI proprietary format to MIDI and back on) If you still have issues, please let me know which mapper you're trying to use so that I can take a look and further assist you! Thanks!įirst of all unless you use two different profiles, your current profile does not show any license. Most likely there's a "Controller Editor Template" file you need to download and instal on your system by using NI's Controller Editor Software, since with Controller Editor users can change the MIDI notes & CC's associated with controls. The available user mappers have some instructions you need to follow. Second: You can use the unit in MIDI mode with VirtualDj, but you will either have to use "Simple MIDI wrapper" (and therefore teach VirtualDj what each button should do by yourself - NO LEDS) or use one of the available user mappers. Also the unit does not appear on officially supported hardware as well. what is there left to do? First of all, S4 MK1 (first generation) is never going to be supported officially, and that's have been stated several times. I have tried it on 2 different computers and the traktor s4 as well as the traktor s2. and I have tried everything that the emails say and still nothing. I have been researching and researching and have not been able to find ANYTHING on this. I have been able to get it to where the sound will come through the traktor but, I have never been able to get the controls on the board to work anything with VDJ. I have downloaded 3 different versions of the mapping and nothing. I bought the pro program on Friday and I have been trying and trying to get my traktor kontrol S4 mk1 to connect. Currently only CDJ and XDJ series provide HID support.I am SO VERY FRUSTRATED. In fact, most controllers & decks used by scratching Dj's are MIDI (NS7,NS7II,V7,S3700,SC3900 e.t.c.) Also, all controllers from Pioneer (DDJ Series) are MIDI as well. However it doesn't mean that a MIDI device can't have low latency or precise jog wheels. Yes HID is much better than MIDI for most advanced controllers. If you really want a quick MIDI vs HID comparison, then read this: It also contains a few outdated statements since it was written 5 years ago, but you'll get the picture. That's the major fault on this article: You can compare "DVS" vs "Controller" or you can compare "MIDI" vs "HID" but you can't compare "DVS" vs "HID" Since the entire article uses this approach, it's somehow pointless to describe why half of it's assumptions are wrong. DVS (Timecode) is way too different from a "controller" and vice versa. That article tries to compare apples and oranges.
