This vid is about 17 mins too long but thanks to the comments I was able to get my S4 mk1 working running Mojave 10.14.5 and on Traktor Pro 2 and Traktor 3. I had the OS installed first and then downloaded the "Traktor Kontrol S4 Driver 2.8.0" from NI support (the last OS driver built for OS 10.9 to 10.11. When it installs, make sure you have your system preferences to unlock before you click "allow" on the NI driver prompt AND have the system already set to allow non Apple drivers to be installed. Then restart once everything is set and you should be good to go.
I was ready to trash my S4 MK1 after watching the video. GOod thing I read your comment before throwing is all away. I followed this advice to a "T" and my S4 is working just fine with Mojave and Traktor Pro 3. Thanks!
No, haven’t updated to Catalina and probably won’t tbh. My guess is if you follow the instructions I wrote out that the last driver they released will still work. I hope so anyway.
same exact setup, got a super cheep S4 MK1 in excellent condition, and an F1 and X1 MK1 and they all work great w my macbook pro 2013 and Mojave 10.14 and traktor pro 3......so glad all this old stuff works and able to play around with it!!! and its Oct. 2023!
I have the same kind problem when I update from win 7 to win 10. My S4 mk1 is detected, however the crossfader and cue knob is no longer working. The crossfader can still be controlled using a mouse but not the cue knob. Money wasted. Native instruments already focused on selling the S4 mk3 , they probably cannot be bothered about the older S4 driver updates. Lesson learned about controllers. Buy cheap is the way to go.
I got the Traktor Kontrol S4 mk1 to work by first installing Mavericks (10.9), installing the driver "Traktor Kontrol S4 Driver 2.8.0" and then upgrading to Mojave. (I imagine starting with El Capitan (10.11) or Yosemite (10.10) would have worked too.)
I have a gun 2018 macbook pro Catalina, i7, 16g ram, 2.5 ghz. I use traktor pro 3.6(2022) a traktor kontrol s4 mk3 with 2 turntable stanton T.92. It works, than it doesn't work. Basically its on then off, then on....offI. Im Getting low connection errors from the turntables. What do I need or what am I doing wrong?
I threw away my perfectly functioning NEO 4 | 2 because the drivers didn’t conform to their new OS. Manufacturer refused to support their old hardware. So who do you blame?
It's not Apple's fault not providing an option in macOS to install an older version. It's the same for Windows machines, you cannot install Windows 7 or 8.1 on a Windows 10 computer. It is generally better getting updates for every equipment you have, including your laptop, to have better compatibility for current and future software and hardware, and many bugs fixed. If you would like to go back onto an older macOS, you must download macOS externally and format your MacBook's storage completely, then install the macOS version you wish for, but never go too far down.
You can either dual boot by creating a partition or erase the partition where Windows 10 was installed, format, then install Windows 7. There is never a button on Windows 10 that lets you directly download (or not, if you have the iso or CD) and install Windows 7, you can only go up. That's true that Windows 7 drivers aren't complete. On Windows 10, you could actually download drivers automatically from Device Manager (you might need to download drivers from the brand's website if it's something special like a gaming mouse).
Windows gives you the option to run software in "compatibility mode" so you can run software that will not run in Win10 as if it were running on WinXP/Win7 etc. You can back off upgrades, dual boot, run an older version solo - way more options on Windows than Apple.
If you make backups of your work computer as you should, you could revert back to it's state before the update in 2 clicks Also If in 2023 someone is interested in this, NI says that these devices are still NOT supported by 10.13 high sierra Despite that Kontrol S2 mk1 worked for me plug'n'play style on Macbook Pro 13" late 2011 10.13 high sierra, can confirm
hi, in my 2012 MacBook Pro retina my s4 mk1 worked nice but after someone stole my MacBook I buy a new one 2020 after that my s4 mk1 never play but native instruments should do support to customers it's a shame from NI
Hi, I have the same problem as you, apple and native instruments have to work together to solve this problem, my s4 its from 2011 our 2012 the first ones. I m thinking to buy a normal computer to play.
I have S4 mk1 And i use it with my mac with high sierra. Everything works wonderfully. You need to install old version of driver google it there will be info
How on earth does Apple manage to break things so often? Pretty much every OS update. Stuff like this makes me glad I switched to Windows. I don't like other things about Windows, but at least I can use cheap second hand gear sold by Mac users who can no longer use it.
i was running a partition of half High Sierra and Sierra. This is only as of a month ago. Now I just run Sierra. I use the S4 Mk1 and Ableton 10 . I have a link to the Apple Discussions on rolling back to Sierra or Partition Sierra with High Sierra.
You don’t have a time machine of an instance where it worked? You can easily keep different time machine back ups and jump to whatever version you need or keep wiping your system and restoring to different versions. That or install a windows to go OS on a jump drive and boot from that. I went through this with the mpc touch. Which, the mpc touch, is completely useless on mac os sierra and up but when run and booted from a windows to go jump drive works perfectly fine on the same exact machine. Seriously it’s a pain in the ass but a very easy work around.
Hey Multiplier just FYI as i am sure you have since figured, the MK1 is perfectly stable on macOS High Sierra but ONLY within Traktor 2 and with the NI 2.8 drivers installed, so admittedly a frustration to lose out on the Traktor 3 functions but at least doesn't just render your kit a bunch of useless knobs.
Neil K. Henderson hey brother can you explain to me how you got this working? I installed the drivers but I’m system preferences the “allow” notification doesn’t appear?
@@davidjmoore5560 I didn't have to change my system preferences, once I had installed the latest drivers I then installed Traktor Pro 2 and hooked up the controller and it was back to working as it had under all my previous macOS. Are you using Traktor Pro 2 instead of 3? That's the only issue as the controller categorically does not work under Traktor 3 on my system at least (but then being a MK1 controller there're functions and layouts that would probably be a little confusing anyway?!) Sorry cannot be of more help.
Hmm ....just disable sip from recovery mode and mount you / with -wu and run the driver install again .. ;) running on Catalina with S4 mk1 fully functional
Chris Haralambous oh there’s lots of tutorials on how to disable it .. reboot , go to recovery mode and then ‘’’ csrutil disable’’’ Then reboot ... finally remount your / with rw and at that point you should be able to install old drivers .. I am surprised this video still there alarming everyone ...
@@marceloberges9017 Hey, man! I just wanted to say that this worked perfect. I tried everything online and nothing worked. I deleted and re-installed traktor pro so many times, updated drivers, disabled so many things that native instruments said and nothing worked. I did what you said and I booted into recovery with CMD+R and then just typed "csrutil disable" into terminal then restarted and everything worked! Worth noting: You have to leave csrutil disabled, I tried enabling it after I got everything working and it cut off again. Regardless, thank you so much for this info!!
7:44... "well it would work under Windows." Yep and today would be just another Friday. Well, there's someone with a PC who wouldn't mind buying that off of you second hand. But you're not going to get a lot of money for it. It doesn't work with Mac.
I have a bunch of software that no longer works under Apple's current Mac OS for one reason or another so I run a different Boot drive that runs the old OS version that's still compatible with the software (or in your case hardware) you might even find your computer works better in the 'old' OS as the software was optimised for older 'less' powerful computers so it'll be able to run more plug-ins with less CPU load. In other words you can beat their system of upgrade upgrade upgrade every five minutes and stick your middle finger up and just use what system works for you best.
Well I didn't do anything to be honnest. Just kept updating my OS everytime, and traktor is up to date. I'm glad it still works, just hoping it's gonna last
Luca Vervoort Really odd, since NI announced specifically that they have stopped supporting S4 MK1. Are you sure you have MK1 and not MK2 ? :P :P. Thanks for the reply btw
OK I checked, and I'm not on the lastest traktor version (i'm on 2.11.2). And yes it's a mk1 :) So what would you recommend? Not updating traktor, not updating the os in the future, or both? Is the problem coming from apple or from NI?
Luca Vervoort Since it's working on High Sierra which is a relatively new update I wouldn't do anything at all. :D. If you don't care about Traktor updates (Traktor 3 is coming) and since nobody really knows if it's Apple or NI, stay where you are and enjoy!
samesame. but mi Browser got frozen, so I updated the MacBook to the latest version...and..whats next... no TRAKTOR supported anymore.damn. proper Browser working or an proper Traktor working, pest or cholera. Shame to Apple-NI for not go hand in hand anymore, so many Musicprod.DJs liked Apple, but now, the lovely GAME is OVER
@@kilw7878 I had to roll back from high Sierra to Sierra. It's your os not pro not being compatible we with mk1. They are compatible. You can either completely roll back depending on how new or old your machine is or you can partition so it's half Catalina and half Sierra. That is only if your mac is old enough to roll back . I believe you can download a thing called mac tracker that might help.
@@ERMAC4482 Rollbacks are something I can't do due to other work commitments on my laptop. I do however have an old hard drive with a compatible OS for the S4. Is there I way to move or install the Traktor Pro version I've just bought to that harddrive?
@@ERMAC4482 I have MK1 as well, but recently purchased the most up to date version of Traktor Pro which I guess is 3.2? The question is how do I go about getting that on my old hard drive and the potential compatibility issues around this? I'm not as technical as I should be for this haha
Its almost 2024....and i am here learning this the hard way too. There has to be come kind of workaround that we can build. Whether its creating some converter using midi or just tricking M2 into thinking its an MK3....SOMEONE HELP LOL
Get a PC. They're cheaper, have more USB ports (6-8 usually), are easily more powerful at the same price point. Get a graphics card that can run 3 monitors. Screen space = better workflow. Mac used to be the professional solution, now it just screams "trendy but technically incompetent"
I know how you feel! I totally dislike Windows, and I'm in the same boat, and this thing was like 800-900$ but I think someone said it will work with MacOS El Capitan, total BS
I just bought a new Scarlett interface, and it doesn't work with my PT DAW! When I called to figure out what was going on, Pro Tools doesn't support third party interfaces unless you buy the newest version and pay a subscription. Just lit 600$ on fire! And I can't return interface because of registration!!! Never buy warranties!
Get Reaper. It's $60 and does everything Pro Tools does. Although, PT added support for third party sound cards in v9 (in 2010 or so). You sure you're not doing something wrong?
The only thing Reaper doesn't do that I did when I worked at a recording studio is import OMF/AAF files from video editors, but there are third party apps for that and they all cost less than the PT upgrade price (I have AATranslator, but there's a cheaper one now I think).
Man, just get yourself a cheap PC laptop. Or better yet if you love apple so much, go get an apple ipod of ipad and you can use those devices. I actually have an iMac (which i never use my traktor S4 on) a PC studio machine, an iphone an ipad and even a windows laptop and i transfer my traktor s4 between all those devices and they all work just perfectly. Dont worry. its nowhere near useless !
Ben McCaulley A lot of people don't change because they're used to the environment and intimidated by change/Windows. In this case though, people need to start migrating if they ever want to punish Apple for the lack of quality. Buying Apple right now is rewarding them for screwing you
Your vid really worried me as I had just bought a S4 Mk1 and my mac is running Mojave the version after High Sierra, but downloaded the driver and allowed the security and all was fine quite simple really. Hope you get yours to work again!!
you have mojave 10.14.3 and it works? Mine is not recognized anymore, asked me if i allow the mikrofon in kombination wir traktor and i said yes but nothing is working.
just switch to windows. honestly. apple is just annoying with their iOS and Os upgrades in respect to hardware compatibility nowadays. Im pretty happy having switched.
What ??????? I fucking opened the s4 like 2 or 3 months ago cos I thought that the problem was the usb connector (broken)!!! Its just a fucking driver ??? REALLY ???
@@njaso3124 Go to "System Preferences". Then Go to "Security and Privacy". Then click the button that says "Allow". You should see the name of software that is what you want to use.

Welcome to our nightmare. You should have stopped at Sierra. Get a new drive load sierra 10.12.6 and re-install your software and move on or buy Mk 2. Remember, "trust but verify."
Thats how the business work if you update your system you also need to upgrade all your equipments for new one or just build some proper PC with bullshit windows and have fun with every single software or hardware installation or drivers etc. I think you will have more fun if you update your Mac to MACOS MOJAVE :D :D :D I remember that last time you made a video about system update that if you dont necessary need to update your system than please dont ruclips.net/video/FYbx1VNCVWU/видео.html

When you spend $1000 USD on a control unit, you'd expect better support for drivers.
Get a PC. They're cheaper, have more USB ports (6-8 usually), are easily more powerful at the same price point. Get a graphics card that can run 3 monitors. Screen space = better workflow.
Mac used to be the professional solution, now it just screams "trendy but technically incompetent"
If you don't like macs, don't reply. I like macs personally.
Dude! I feel for you. You could always roll back to Sierra.
I upgraded to High Sierra and it broker my MacBook Pro.
Apple sucks ass these days...
I know how you feel! I totally dislike Windows, and I'm in the same boat, and this thing was like 800-900$ but I think someone said it will work with MacOS El Capitan, total BS
I just bought a new Scarlett interface, and it doesn't work with my PT DAW! When I called to figure out what was going on, Pro Tools doesn't support third party interfaces unless you buy the newest version and pay a subscription. Just lit 600$ on fire! And I can't return interface because of registration!!! Never buy warranties!
PT is horrible and that kind of behavior is why they are losing users fast, just use another DAW, most of them are same or better quality than PT.
Get Reaper. It's $60 and does everything Pro Tools does. Although, PT added support for third party sound cards in v9 (in 2010 or so). You sure you're not doing something wrong?
The only thing Reaper doesn't do that I did when I worked at a recording studio is import OMF/AAF files from video editors, but there are third party apps for that and they all cost less than the PT upgrade price (I have AATranslator, but there's a cheaper one now I think).
I mean, yeah it’s annoying but partitioning isn’t difficult. Also I bet hubs into hubs is an absolute nightmare. Especially bus powered hubs
And I’m pretty sure that for that many devices people just use a tower with additional pcie cards providing extra ports
Man, just get yourself a cheap PC laptop. Or better yet if you love apple so much, go get an apple ipod of ipad and you can use those devices. I actually have an iMac (which i never use my traktor S4 on) a PC studio machine, an iphone an ipad and even a windows laptop and i transfer my traktor s4 between all those devices and they all work just perfectly. Dont worry. its nowhere near useless !
I'm sorry I can't watch no more of this
Dude, why keep using Mac? They clearly don't want musicians' business anymore.
Ben McCaulley A lot of people don't change because they're used to the environment and intimidated by change/Windows.
In this case though, people need to start migrating if they ever want to punish Apple for the lack of quality.
Buying Apple right now is rewarding them for screwing you
Happened to me and my audio 8 a few updates ago...also my Xone 1d
Chris W I‘m mixing on a Macbook from 2008 and it is running OSX El Capitan, in my opinion the best OSX ever
Your vid really worried me as I had just bought a S4 Mk1 and my mac is running Mojave the version after High Sierra, but downloaded the driver and allowed the security and all was fine quite simple really. Hope you get yours to work again!!
you have mojave 10.14.3 and it works? Mine is not recognized anymore, asked me if i allow the mikrofon in kombination wir traktor and i said yes but nothing is working.
Prove it
I'd just upgrade the controller?
MATT VORN What buy a new one?
What's wrong with the Mk1?
Probably cheaper to just run Windows via Bootcamp.
just switch to windows. honestly. apple is just annoying with their iOS and Os upgrades in respect to hardware compatibility nowadays. Im pretty happy having switched.
works fine on mojave, didn't know it was a problem
Matthias Haerinck it works on mojave?
its not working on mojave
Compatible with sierra, not for high sierra 😭
What ??????? I fucking opened the s4 like 2 or 3 months ago cos I thought that the problem was the usb connector (broken)!!! Its just a fucking driver ??? REALLY ???
MK1 works fine in Mojave if U have the drivers and "Allow" it in the security setting on ur Mac.
which driver exactly do you use? My security settings dont ask me to "allow" :-(
@@njaso3124 Go to "System Preferences". Then Go to "Security and Privacy". Then click the button that says "Allow". You should see the name of software that is what you want to use. Check the check mark on it. Then click "OK" and it should work. It did for me (on High Sierra) with Traktor Kontrol S4. Should work more or less the same for you. Figers crossed.
@@rjw4rjw4 Oh my fucking god you are a saviour, I just did that on my S4 and it started working. I haven't used this thing in months and now I can use it at least I can afford S4 MK3. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
And THIS is why I'll never use Apple Computers.
Pc bro mac is trying to make u upgrade everything over priced software and hardware
The s4 needs the driver updated
He’s not very annoying
apple is broken.
17 minutes just to say that mac ios sucks for audio softwares and hardwares.
Just give the thing to me I promise to take of it
Welcome to our nightmare. You should have stopped at Sierra. Get a new drive load sierra 10.12.6 and re-install your software and move on or buy Mk 2. Remember, "trust but verify."
The MK2 doesn't work either.
mk1 problems
Thats how the business work if you update your system you also need to upgrade all your equipments for new one or just build some proper PC with bullshit windows and have fun with every single software or hardware installation or drivers etc. I think you will have more fun if you update your Mac to MACOS MOJAVE :D :D :D
I remember that last time you made a video about system update that if you dont necessary need to update your system than please dont ruclips.net/video/FYbx1VNCVWU/видео.html
same🙄🙄🙄
Driver is out now!! Fake news!!
Buy a windows pc
windows ;)
Does it work on windows?
What has happened to this channel? I know you're moving house and its a big upheaval but if you don't have any decent content, don't just make a video for the sake of it. If you really need to make this kind of video, make it a couple of minutes long. It really doesn't warrant 17 minutes of repeatedly saying "it's just a bunch of buttons", which is a pretty efficient way to lose subscribers.
If you don't like it, don't watch it. I liked watching this personally
@@xenoneuronics6765 i could easily say to you "if you didn't agree with my opinion, don't reply."
studioviper You could have, but you didn't. Again instead of bitching and moaning, how about you just skip over this video and choose one that interests you?
@@xenoneuronics6765 how on earth am I supposed to skip over videos I don't like until I've watched it?! Besides, you could do exactly the same with your replies. I wasn't soliciting opinions or replies and my original comment is directed at multiplier, not you. But I'm glad you enjoy watching 17 minute long videos of a guy moaning about his controller not working.
This is what a whiner looks like ^ avoid these people, they're cancer
pity...
anyway to downgrade the OSX??
Good Luck
Fyi. Apple is even worse in 2023. No worries, My traktor MK1 works great on Windows 11 also with Traktor pro 2 !! All the NI drivers for the MK1 Windows 7 and up Work Fine on 11. Unless you are rich and stupid stay away from Apple. Lol
of course old hardware works on old software suhch as windows 11 x86, now try windows ARM
just get to the point and please don't talk 22 much
maybe someone in ur position should be a little more vigilant with ur fact checking b4 spreading nonsense info
