Disabling S4 MK3 Top Plate Permantly

djantonio

Hi All, I know that if you want to disabling the top plate's you can press the "Jog" until it turn red, but when you restart Traktor it goes back to enables (Blue). Is there a way to disable it permanently so that it's Red on startup? I don't use the top plate and don't want to disable it every time I turn on the S4. Thanks in advance.

Open the file '…\Native Instruments\Traktor Pro 4\Resources64\CSI\S4MK3\S4MK3Deck.qml' with a good coding editor like notepad++.

Go to line 88, there you will find this piece of code:

MappingPropertyDescriptor {
  id: jogMode
  path: deckPropertiesPath + ".jog_mode"
  type: MappingPropertyDescriptor.Integer
}

Change it to this:

MappingPropertyDescriptor {
  id: jogMode
  path: deckPropertiesPath + ".jog_mode"
  type: MappingPropertyDescriptor.Integer
  value: JogwheelMode.CDJ
}

Restart Traktor or delete the s4 mapping in controller manager and re-add it manually so the changes take. You will have to do this every time you install a new version of Traktor.

Note: You may have noticed that the red colour will disappear when you change decks, but the platter touch will still be deacitvated.
