Traktor S4 Midi Mode + Ableton Live 9. I'm so close! Posted on: 20.05.2013 by Loyce Iler Screen Shot 2013-05-20 at 6.49.09 PM.jpgI feel like I'm so close (Above) I've gone into the Midi Remote Scrips, created a folder titled Traktor S4, and copied the UserConfiguration.txt file, making the recommended edits for Midi CC #'s. But as you can see in the picture below... The control surface is recognized, but the input and output are not. Screen Shot 2013-05-20 at 7.06.07 PM.png I have no idea where to find the official names for the Traktor S4's Input and output ports. what am I supposed to name them? Is this not my only issue here? Please, any suggestions would be much appreciated. | |

| Loyce Iler 21.05.2013 | The S4 is connected and perfectly responsive upon opening Traktor Pro Software. So I'll close traktor software, press [Shift]+Browse to enter Midi Mode, and proceed to open Live 9. Still, upon opening Live's preferences, only the User Script is recognized.. No input or output. My F1 controller maps up just perfectly, and as you can see in this screen shot below, I don't even have to select it as a control surface, just the recognized input and output.. Screen Shot 2013-05-21 at 2.53.14 PM.png This issue is really frustrating, as I would love more than anything to map my S4's Jogwheels to certain Macro knobs for awesome hands-on sound manipulation. Any further help you can provide would be very appreciated. I'm positive that it's doable.. I feel like I'm a small step away. |

| Carlo Molloy 16.06.2013 | try to open ableton with Controller Manager open... |
| Nedra Fresneda 24.05.2013 | ^This. Still glad you got it working. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 23.05.2013 | Sounds like you just had some settings wrong. You don't need to use a MIDI to USB adapter to use the S4 in MIDI mode, but it is one possible way to make it work. |

| Nedra Fresneda 20.05.2013 | Did you check your controller is properly detected by OS X and set in MIDI mode? Live isn't seeing your S4 and that has nothing to do with the script. |
