Need help to use Traktor and the S2 mk1 on a MacOS 10.15 Mac

Question

Hi community please help me or direct me to what i can do, I updated my operating system on my other macbook and now my traktor  kontrol s2 mk1 dj controller wont work with traktor pro 2 and on my laptop. I brought traktor pro 4 as was advised and the controller still doesnt work. I then brought an older laptop with operating system 10.15.8 catalina to hopefully make the controller work but i still cant get it to work.. I have both traktor pro 2 and 4 full versions on my native instrument account but i cannot download them on to this computer, i am so unsure of what to do with all the changes and updates i dont know where to start please help me. i also cannot see my traktor pro 4 download in native access on this computer i am so out of my depth.

I have seen other people use their s2 mk1 on modern Mac OS with Traktor 4. But I'm not a mac person, they just said that it worked for them. Even though it's no longer supported.

Hey there, according to this article:

https://support.native-instruments.com/support/solutions/articles/69000879296-native-instruments-macos-compatibility

The S2 mk! is only supported until MacOS 10.11. You can find the driver for it on this page:

Not sure if it will work on 10.15 but worth a try.

Traktor Pro 4 is not available on your MacOS 10.15 Mac because it's not supported as it was released years after. If you want to install a previos version of Traktor you will need an older version of Native Access, you can find it here:

Please check the 1st article of compatibility you can find which versions of which software are supported on 10.15.
