TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 - Jog Wheel Calibration Guide - 4
1 Introduction
!
This guide describes the steps required to recalibrate the jog wheels on the TRAKTOR
KONTROL S4 controller. Before continuing please ensure that you have installed the latest
TRAKTOR and Controller Editor updates available via the Service Center application. The
jog wheels on the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 can be recalibrated at any time to optimize the
touch sensitivity of the wheels for scratching.
Calibration will not only optimize the wheels but can also resolve the following potential
problem scenarios that may occur if the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 is dropped or transported
inappropriately:
! A lot of pressure is required to scratch.
! It is not possible to scratch with the jog wheel at all, i.e. pressing down on the jog
wheel does not stop playback of the track.
! A track in the deck does not continue to play even though the jog wheel is no longer
being touched and the PLAY button is lit. If this is the case the
Load
button on the cor!
responding deck will also remain lit up at all times, indicating that the Scratch On
function is activated.
The jog wheels can be recalibrated using the same calibration routine in the Traktor software
or Controller Editor. Both options are described in separate sections below.
