Kontrol S4 MK3 MIDI CONTROL

Iceman the Dj

NI, why in the world don't you let us use this controller with other softwares? Let it be a midi controller as it should be!!! Why don't you put it on the product page like "IF YOU BUY THIS "CONTROLLER" YOU CAN USE IT ONLY WITH TRAKTOR!"

YOU CAN USE IT ONLY WITH TRAKTOR!"

Mixxx and virtualdj support s4 mk3 HID.

You could also do some research. A little research will give you the info you need before a purchase. Always amazes me that people buy a NI controller and start kicking off when it doesn’t work with serato or rekordbox. Just go buy a serato or rekordbox controller. Easy

It will never work with Serato since it is not certified but one would think it has a freaking midi mode because S4 MK1 and S4 MK2 had that. I would also not check for that info assuming NI wouldn't downgrade the operation.

Point being if you really want to use other software with a s4, why would you buy an s4 in the first place, knowing it’s so tightly integrated with Traktor pro. Just doesn’t make sense to me. If that was the case I’d just go out and buy a piece of hardware that’s open to other software and makes sense. Each to their own. Now if the OP bought his s4 mk3 pretty cheap and presumed it would work with other software, I presume Serato with its stems functionality then that’s a bummer.

I am a Traktor user, and I bought it to use it with traktor. And I mind that I don't have midi capabilityes because I could use some of the controls in my DAW... I have a controller for rekordbox that I use for time to time on a barbeque since it doesn't need external power, with a bloothooth speaker to mix for my friends... that I mapped for Traktor, cause I like it more than RB! I don't like serato. Always amazes me that people make conclusions without knowing the whole problem! I hope you got your needed explenation! Cheers!

Yeah thanks man. Another user said mk2 was midi so could be mapped to other software. Which controller do you have for rekordbox?

DDJ400. Just for simple mixing on barbecues with friends.
