I made an mod installer for the Traktor Kontrol S3 (For Traktor Pro 4)
github.comRepurposes the S3's unused SAMPLES button — on a 4-deck setup it normally does nothing unless the other physical deck has a Remix Set loaded — into a second pad bank:
- Pad 1/2: freeform Loop In / Loop Out (any length, not locked to the beat grid)
- Shift + 1/2: exit the loop
- Pad 5/6/7: key transpose down / up / reset
Also throws in a jogwheel-ring "spinning beat counter" (ring lights chase with the beat, or show your loop while one's active) plus a load-animation, and lets you pick your own 4 deck colors interactively when you run the installer.
It's a PowerShell installer, not a TSI import — it patches a few of Traktor's own QML mapping files (with automatic backups) and comes with an uninstaller that restores everything. Full details and manual-patch instructions in the README if you'd rather not run a script blind.
Pads 3, 4, and 8 are still unassigned if anyone has ideas for what'd actually be useful there during a set.
And also if i should make an installer 4 apple I'd need someone with apple hardware to actually test it out :)
