This is correct.
Sadly the S8 is unable to connect to an iOS device from my understanding.

Have any of you NI Traktor Kontrol S8 fans ever checked out the Reloop Touch?
Looks like it would make an awesome stems controller for Djay Pro.
NI obviously spotted it’s potential BITD because they have an official Traktor mapping available to download for it.
Hi @hardbea7, I could be wrong, but I believe the Kontrol S8 is not USB Class Compliant. If this is the case, we cannot support this hardware on iOS. This needs to be unlocked by the manufacturer. The best option is for users to reach out to the manufacturer directly and request that they update the class compliance via a firmware update.

I’m pretty certain that’s correct about the S8 not being class compliant.
Does this mean a mapping could currently only be produced for MacOS and not iOS?

That would be awesome @Slak_Jaw
I’ve been in conversation with NI about a possible relaunch of the S8…
It was so far ahead of it’s time, and with the recent resurgence in Stems, it would do extremely well.
It would be a smart move for Algoriddim to produce a native mapping for the S8… Traktor users are crying out for some decent software for their hardware.
You could pretty much scoup up all their fanbase with Algoriddim support.

We would probably need to see a lot more user interest in this hardware before supporting it. Especially since it is no longer in production. Our dev team would also need to acquire a Kontrol S8 before they could create a mapping for it.

I have DDj - 1000, S8, I want to use djay with ipad to crate my own “4 channel professional standalone unit” but I can’t, you guys not allowing me, here is my list :
Ddj1000, DDj 800
Traktor s8, s4 mk3
Roland dj 707m (all Roland controllers)
Rane four
Numark ns4fx
Are you guys doing this purposely because of Mixon pro 8?
If the manufacturers don’t make controllers that are class compliant, how do you expect Algorithm to implement iPad control? Class compliant devices are essentially plug and play with iPad/iphone.
Non class compliant devices require drivers to work with Mac and windows. The only way for those devices to work with iPad is for the manufacturer to update their firmware which is very unlikely. You could try and contact those manufacturers yourself and see what they say.
It’s the same old argument when people still blame Algoriddim. not having Spotify anymore. Again reason being is that Spotify pulled out and had nothing to do with Algoriddim.
Hope that helps put into context for you. Maybe lower your tone and ask if Algorddim can help also by contacting the manufacturers. You also can do your part.

Hi @hardbea7, thanks for the feedback. As @Dysfunk_DJ has explained, we cannot support non-USB class compliant devices on iOS. This needs to be addressed by the manufacturers and the best way to make this happen is for users like yourself to contact them directly to make this change to their hardware via a firmware update. In most cases, we have already reached out to manufacturers to request this, but feedback from individual users will really help to accelerate the process.

Hi @hardbea7, also, 3 of your 5 controllers are already supported on macOS and Windows. To the best of my knowledge, none of these controllers are supported on iOS by any other DJ software.
- Pioneer DDJ-1000, DDJ-800: supported on macOS and Windows
- Traktor S8, S4 mk3: not supported
- Roland 707m: not supported
- RANE Four: supported on macOs and Windows
- Numark NS4FX: supported on macOS and Windows

Hello, the Tracktor Kontrol S8 as well. With the success of the Mixtour Pro, I’d love to see Reloop come up with a Traktor Kontrol S8 type of controller.

Thanks so much for sharing this map.
I’ve just moved across to djay pro after having used Traktor with dvs years ago. Had a play around with serato recently and djay pro is so much better.
I’ve been midi mapping some reloop neons to it and also an old kontrol x1 mk1 I have but suddenly realised I had an old s8 that I hadn’t used for years.
It’s fantastic with your mapping. I’ve tweaked a few bits and pieces and may use it in conjunction with the neons. Their pads are lovely to use. I’m using with a reloop flux and Allen and heath xone 92 with serato timecode vinyl for a crazy analogue, digital setup!
Did you ever get any nearer to getting the screens with any functionality or is that just not possible?
Thanks again!

I’ve just added more to it, and am mapping an F1 to handle effects , shift adds a quick flip layer to deck 3/4
And mapping 3 and 4 to match 1 and 2.
Also got the pads to light up with trraktors mapong.
I can’t do the screams and takes a layer of programming. I looked into it.
The pre-cue works on the head phones now too

Thank you @Anthony_Ramirez for all the hard work you put into this mapping.
Is it possible to get a download of your latest S8 mapping with these updates?
Hi Anthony,
I would also like to try your mappings, I do also own a Kontrol S8 and a F1.
I still keep the S8, as it’s a great piece of gear, but haven’t been using it since a year now. I have midi mapped it to DJay Pro, but haven’t been happy with the results, then tried a Mixon 8 Pro and got stuck to it.
But I would be very happy to see, what’s your approach to it.
