Anyone Map the Native Instruments S4 yet?

[DALINDAR]

yes did check it! and made the whole installation for a 3rd time. still no function.

everytime i start Cross...s4 is somekind of disabled...even when controller editor fom NI is on.

do i have to change something from vinyl/cd mode to controller mode...

strange...

In MIDI preferences, does the S4 tab turn to green when you push a button on the controller?

[DALINDAR]

yes it does. all green. also when i touch the jogwheel. but with the jogwheel..the songs stops.no scrolling in the song or scratching possible...even all the other functions work perfectly. only scratch mode with the jog wheels wont work.

thanks

[DALINDAR]

so..got the solution:

downloaded the latest version of the native intruments controll editor (1.6.2) and latest driver vor kontrol s4 trough the NI service center

now it works perfectly...uff.

thanks anyway for your help.

[sylMV]

Good to know.
Thanks.

what is the problem with Cross 3? crashed for the second time at a DJ gig and its not possible to use with the s4 with such a crap latency on buttons and especially on the jog wheels.

please feedback

[sylMV]

First, please stop being unkind.
This is a support forum, not a "shoot'em up" place.

Second, let's be constructive. Concerning your issues:
- Crap latency, this only depends on your config/computer...
Which computer? Which soundcard? Which audio settings (buffer size, samplerate)?

- Crashes, give us more info about what you were doing when it happened (if you remember). If you are on mac, some crash reports should be available in the Console, send them to me. Without more info, we can't answer more... sorry.

sorry for that loved to be with Cross......but imagine..works okay...and after 1.5 hours...unusuable because of the latency and then crashed for 2 times.

macbook air 1.8 intel core i7, 4gb ram
controller and soundcard native instruments s4
audio settings: 44100, buffer 512

hopefully its my fault!! cause as i told before...nice to work with it

thank you and sorry again

[DALINDAR]

another thing is. the crossfader only works to channel a...channel a to channel b does not completely erasy channel a...video and audio...

thanks

Do you mean the felt "latency" changed during the session?

macbook air 1.8 intel core i7, 4gb ram
controller and soundcard native instruments s4
audio settings: 44100, buffer 512

512 samples is a bit high for tight control. Judging from you mac specs, you can probably go down to 256 (default value in Cross) or even 128.

I don't remember how the S4 behaves. This kind of issue is very often due to the controller itself not respecting MIDI standards. If we can grab a S4 here, we'll check and fix the mapping if necessary.

Has anybody else ever used a S4 with Cross over there?


Last thing, about your crash(es), could you please send me the crash log(s) OSX should have stored in the Console app?

Many thanx.
