Is it possible to turn off the jog wheel ring lights on the Traktor S4 MK3?

I’m thinking of purchasing the controller but not sure I will want the rotating ring to be on all the time. Worried it could be distracting, annoying, hypnotic, etc.

I looked through the manual with no luck but Google AI says the following:

To turn off the Traktor S4 MK3 jog wheel ring, open the Traktor software preferences, navigate to the "Controller" settings for your S4 MK3, and then find the option related to the jog wheel ring illumination, usually labeled something like "Jog Wheel Ring" or "LED Ring", and simply disable it. Key steps:

  • Open Traktor Preferences: Launch Traktor software and access the Preferences menu. 
  • Select your S4 MK3: In the preferences, choose the "Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3" controller from the list. 
  • Find Jog Wheel Ring setting: Look for an option related to the jog wheel ring illumination, usually within the "Jog Wheel" settings. 
  • Disable the ring: Toggle the setting to "Off" to deactivate the jog wheel ring light. 

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks so much!

    The last two points the AI made are wrong/not so easy.

    Add this piece of code to S4MK3Deck.qml:

    MappingPropertyDescriptor {
  id: jogLedModeProp
  path: deckPropertiesPath + ".jogwheel_led_mode"
  type: MappingPropertyDescriptor.Integer
  value: JogwheelLedMode.Off
}

    Possible values are

    value : JogwheelLedMode.Off

    value : JogwheelLedMode.Follow

    value : JogwheelLedMode.Blink

    You may need to delete the S4MK3 mapping in the device dropdown of the controller manager and then re-add a fresh one to reload the device code with the new mapping properties before they can take effect.

    If that doesn't work (the colour is still there but sitting still), you have to change the colour.

    Find this piece of code in the same file:

      Wire
  {
      from: DirectPropertyAdapter { path: deckPropertiesPath + ".deck_color"; input: false }
      to: "%surface%.jogwheel.led_color"
  }

    Replace it with this:

      Wire
  {
      // from: DirectPropertyAdapter { path: deckPropertiesPath + ".deck_color"; input: false }
      from: DirectPropertyAdapter { path: deckPropertiesPath + ".jog_color"; input: false }
      to: "%surface%.jogwheel.led_color"
  }

    and add this piece of code right after or before the other MappingPropertyDescriptor pieces:

    MappingPropertyDescriptor {
  id: jogColorProp
  path: deckPropertiesPath + ".jog_color"
  type: MappingPropertyDescriptor.Integer
  value: Color.Black
}

    Black colour means no colour.

    This will also determine the colour of the TT/Jog buttons.

    Did you get it to work the way you wanted to?

    I don't own the S4, was just considering purchasing so can't test your code unfortunately.

    I actually ended up ordering a Traktor S3 instead because I didn't need all the extra features and didn't want to buy with the expectation of messing with its code. But the instructions you gave were very clear and almost made me consider!

    Thanks so much for your help!
