S4 MK3 - Haptic feedback not working?

sourcat

TL;DR: Haptic feedback not working, I don't think. How do I address?

Hello.

New to the S4 MK3 and still trying to get used to it after being out of the DJ game for fifteen years (was spinning on Denon DN-S1200 that when they got hot would lose their sync and also had Technics MK3s that were the shiz) … love the S4 MK3 and so happy I ended up picking it over the cheaper Hercules I was originally going to use to get my feet wet.

Anyway, most things are working great on it but I can't make sense of one thing:

Haptic feedback on the jog wheels

Like, I don't feel anything with them at all … no matter whether I set it to none, course, or fine, when I turn the jog wheels, they just turn.

Maybe I have the wrong idea about what it is and if that's the case, maybe someone can enlighten me?

Seems to be the case whether on TT or JOG … the wheel just turns. I can adjust the intensity of TT mode just fine but it seems that whatever "haptic feedback" is, I can't make sense of it.

Please help!

Ancillary question: what type of drive is the S4 MK3? Assuming not belt … but also not sure if "direct drive" even applies to it.

THANKS, NI COMMUNITY.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I have no idea why but this ALWAYS happens to me: I post a question somewhere or ask someone something at work and I find the answer within a minute.

Turns out you have to hit play for it to work. Oof.

Wellp, thanks anyway, friends. :)

Still curious to know what type of drive the S4 MK3 uses and if anyone is aware of any mixer replacement issues (something I've seen on Denon units I was thinking of getting before I settled on the S4).

Also, I love Traktor. I was starting out with Serato back in 2008 and it was OK but tried it recently and love Traktor far more over Rekordbox, Serato, Mixxx, Algoriddim, and DJay or whatever it's called. :)
