The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 is the newest S4 model that features new reinvented jog wheel that has 3 modes and RGB light ring carbon protect faders and much more. The S4 MK3 lets you connect with your tracks in entirely new ways. Not only do its motorized jog wheels spin and react to nudging, scratching, pitch-fading, and backspins, they transmit cue points, loop markers, and more direct to your fingertips. And with RGB LED rings and high-res color displays keeping all the info you need front and center in the booth, everything you need is right where you need it – so you’re free to focus on your mix.

Traktor Kontrol S4 Features

Haptic Drive: The Jog Wheel, Re-invented

Haptic Drive™ gives you a new kind of feedback on touch-sensitive, motorized jog wheels. Change the torque and start/stop times to suit any DJ style – whether you’re a laid-back beatmatcher or backspin aficionado. Get closer to your music in three modes – Tuntable Mode, Jog Mode, and Beatgrid Adjust Mode.

Three Mix Modes: Mix With More

Spinning jog wheels in Turntable Mode let you nudge and scratch like you would with vinyl. Or use classic Jog Mode for spin-to-nudge response. Because you feel loops and cue points as you scroll past them, you can line up tracks in a second and let your fingers do the mixing. Beatgrid Adjust Mode lets you adjust the track’s beatgrid on the fly, so you’re always in sync.

RGB Light Rings: Your Sound, Surrounded 

RGB light rings around each jog wheel deliver quick, responsive tempo and nudging visualization on each deck. DJs using four decks can stay on-track with jog wheel color-coding, and track-end warnings make sure you’re never caught out.

Colour Displays: All Hands on Deck

Create quick and evolving mixes with everything you need in one place. Each high-resolution display shows track, key, tempo, looping, Hotcue, and waveform information. Control Stems and samples directly with dedicated controls, and access powerful software tools at your fingertips.

New Mixer FX: Your One-Touch Secret Weapon

Easy to use and instant – Mixer FX give you control over club-grade filters, delays, gates, reverbs, and more. They’re great for big transitions, or to accentuate and control the nuances and ambience of your set – depending on the dancefloor. Use them either on their own, or in combination with the usual TRAKTOR Deck FX for fun ways to shift your sound.

Hard to Break: Carbon Protect faders

Upside-down carbon strips in our revised fader design mean better protection from liquids, dust, and other substances, because they no longer fall onto the conductive carbon surface. It’s a simple trick that makes a big difference to their durability – especially in a world of DJ-booth drinks and packed-out dancefloors.

All You Need: Expanded Connectivity

The TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 is equipped with an integrated, club-grade 24-bit / 96-kHz audio interface, with external input options on every channel. Connect turntables for crate-diggers, drum machines and synths for hybrid wizards, or anything else you can think of to push the boundaries of your mix. When connected to TRAKTOR PRO 3, the software adds headroom to the signal, before TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 gives it an analog boost – meaning better sound at club levels. Without a computer, the S4 can alternatively be used to mix external audio sources.

Traktor Pro 3: Crafted to Perform

Audio engine improvements and a redesigned user interface make TRAKTOR PRO 3 the best-sounding and most powerful version yet. Dig into extensive re-editing and mixing possibilities with loops, Hotcues, Flux Mode, samples, beat-syncing, and the industry’s largest FX suite – for easy experimentation and soundscape creation.
