I don’t see it on the list in the menu either. Try flipping it to MIDI mode and see if you can set up in as an older version?

Good idea👍🏼 the older S2 Version have fewer knobs and buttons, but s3/s4 should be similar
Anthony, thank you so much for all your hard work on this. I can’t wait to try it out.
Hi Anthony.
Thanks for sharing the template.
Just to clarify, when you say it’s working on your Traktor Kontrol S8, you mean working on your Mac? Because the Traktor Kontrol S8 will not go to Midi Mode with “Shift” + “Back” when it’s connected to my iPad.
Thanks

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.
