User Manual

We strongly recommend you to use an external power supply with your S4 via the included
power supply unit. Although operation is also possible when your S4 is powered via the USB
connection, you then have following limitations: the headphones output level is lower, and all
LEDs light darker. Moreover, your device might then be subject to USB power-related issues,
as explained in section ↑9.2.4, USB-related Power Issues.
Connect the S4 to Your Computer via USB
Before connecting the controller to your computer, make sure it is in a stable playing position.
Turning the controller on its head while it is connected to your computer can cause decalibra-
tion of the jog wheels, which is indicated by constantly flashing Load buttons. Placing the de-
vice back in the upright position and switching it on and off will reset the jog wheels to the
correct state. In the unlikely event that the jog wheels still do not respond as expected after
power cycling, recalibrating the jog wheels manually might become necessary. For further info
on calibration, please refer to the separate Jog Wheel Calibration Guide in the Documentation
subfolder of the TRAKTOR 2 program folder.
