How to change the Sample/Remix button mode on S4 without opening preferences?

TijKez

I've begun using the stems format which is awesome, but I still have lots of tracks where I use the hot cue 5-8.

Are we seriously saying that during a set, I have to open preferences every time and change the mode between AUTO for the stems, and Hotcues 5-8?

A shift function seems obvious for this.

Or is there no way to map the "Sample Play Buttons" mode to a key or button on S4?

Those commands are not available to map, no.

I struggling to believe this could be true.

To rephrase, so If I have a set with a few Stems tracks, there's absolutely no way to access stem controls while maintaining a way to trigger hot cues 5-8? No shift function? No way to remap hot cue 5-8?

EDIT:

Ok even google searches seemed to say the opposite, seems hot cues 5-8 can be remapped, in this case ****** 1-4. Incase anyone wants to see what it looks like.

Note this has to be done on top of the factory S4 map so the Overide Factory mapping button is present or else the delete hot cue function will still trigger.

Would have been nicer to remap shift functions for Stems, but I don't see any options for that.

What i meant is that the intrinsic 'mode' that is activated via S4 preferences is not a mappable state. But you can of course create your own mode with the use of modifiers and then assign the specific stem/slot commands.

I figured that's what you meant.

But if one googles or searches here "how to map hotkeys 5-8 on the Kontrol S4", which is the obvious workaround for the tread title, the only answer you will find is to set the "Samples Play Buttons" mode in preferences to hitches 5-8. That of course stops us being able to use the stem controls.

I thought may aswell leave info here for anyone else being led in the wrong direction.
