    No. It can't be changed without altering the code in the files. I'm thinking about just making it white, becoming red when fader lock is active.

    trying it out right now, wow!!! shifting through the colors is amazing!!! don't worry about the pitch fader being blue. don't mess with it, i can live with it but it stands out and keeps integrity of the s4. no need to mess with it unless you want to but it looks fine. love the changing of the colors and loop over righting into green. you are amazing. i definitely get you some coffee!!!

    Nothing more to say here! I keep smiling every time i open Traktor with an updated version.

    So many innovative features. I'm very happy to found this post a week ago!

    Keep going and shock us with your ideas @Sûlherokhh !

    @Razzor

    Is there a way to display the original track bpm and the current bpm, but bigger? Sometimes the size is hard to see on these displays?

    I'm thinking about a pop-up display (like with jog tension) whenever you adjust the deck tempo.

    Many mixers have a FX select knob, to change the current FX to channel 1 to 4. On the S4 MK3 we have these arrows for that. But the master FX channel is missing. To activate FX bank 1 or 2 to all four channels.

    ...

    Well, you used overmapping for that, which is quite good on it's own. I think it's too complicated for initial users, particularly because the S4 does not have LED feedback that will indicate this unmistakably. So i'm not going to bother.

    Is there a way to program a key, to switch throught the tempo fader rage, like on the CDJ 3000? I mix on 4% on most of the times, but to switch through would be a nice additive. Or is it generally not possible to change features from the "Preferences Menu"?

    Just like overmapping assignments are available for FX Unit assignments, there is also an assignment to adjust the tempo range (up/down or a specific value) for buttons/keys. Look it up in the controller manager.

    I just tested you sync functions...

    Dammm boy, this is epic! I was often annoyed to change the tempo of a acapella or so to a range of 20+ bpm on 4% sensitivity, but now i can sync the tempo to the main song, without using active sync! Just epic!

    Isn't it? :)

    I've used this function when the S4Mk1 first came out using the controller manager. It's just so convenient.

    Small Update:

    • Fixed the Cue button colour (i just forgot to adjust the colour code); seems none of you noticed. 😋
    • Set PitchFader Indicator LED to WHITE.

    Have a go!

    Haven’t visited this thread before because there’s not a word about S3 in the title, but such miracles happen here with exactly S3! @pixel your are the don!

    Just tested your mod and it is great! I don't need all the features and going to switch off some of them, but the ideas themself - great!

    Big thank you!

    Of course big thankyou to mighty @Sûlherokhh

    When the latest S3 mod is in shape, i'll put it in post #1 (and title), so it's easier to find. Maybe NI should send me a spare S3 for testing, just to help keep their equipment alive. 😁

    Update:

    • Back to coding.
    • Next up will be a Phase-Meter that automatically pops up at the top when adjusting the tempo/pitch. It's already looking really good. Need to fiddle with the display details.
    • Looking into an even better display for BPM/Tempo to make beatjuggling easier.
    • On-the-fly cycling through 6 different waveform colour combinations on my menu.
    • Still exploring visibility of displaying active cues (including loop-in and loop-out cues) on the stripe for better orientation, as well as minute markers.

    Also, thank you guys for your support. ❤️
