Key Features:
Traktor Kontrol S4
Forget what you know about DJ controllers and DJ software. Traktor Kontrol S4
was designed from its conception as a fully integrated system where software and
hardware are fused in perfect harmony. Once you experience it, you’ll
immediately feel how simple, yet powerful and fluid a professional DJ system can
be. Traktor Kontrol S4 is the culmination of a 10-year vision and experience
only Native Instruments can provide. So whether you’re a seasoned Traktor user
looking for the ultimate controller, or just entering the world of digital
DJing, the S4 delivers like no other can.
Custom-tailored for Traktor,
the S4 fuses a premium-quality 4 channel DJ mixer, a built-in 24 bit/96 kHz
soundcard, an intuitive controller, and the flagship Traktor Pro 2* software
into one fully professional solution - the ideal one-stop package for DJs who
want pro features, instant usability and go-anywhere portability.
Kontrol In Action
The sleek, stylish controller puts Traktor at your
fingertips - fusing hardware and software into one harmonic unit. Innovative
Sample Decks, high-quality electromagnetic jog wheels, two effect units, and two
clearly laid-out deck control sections can be assigned to any of the four
software decks and deliver a new level in creative control over your one shots,
tracks, and loops.
The intuitive and ergonomic controller layout and its
robust rotary knobs provide precise visual and tactile status feedback – perfect
for any DJ situation. Highly responsive to the touch, Traktor Kontrol S4 is
incredibly smooth to use, while its slim and compact profile makes it easy to
transport from gig to gig.
New Traktor Pro 2*
Software
It’s super simple to get straight in the mix, thanks to
the included Traktor Pro 2* software. Developed in perfect synergy with the S4's
controller, new features have been added to the Traktor Pro 2* software to fully
take advantage of this all-in-one solution, while premium ready-made and
instantly combinable loops have been provided by the renowned Loopmasters sample
house.
4-Channel Mixer
Traktor Kontrol S4 boasts a full featured 4-channel mixer
section with sturdy faders, CUE buttons, illuminated level meters, high-quality
3-band EQs and a filter control knob on each channel. The filter is switchable
between Traktor and Xone-style. The ergonomic layout has been created by DJs for
DJs, with some of the world’s biggest names having direct input in to the
design. It's easy to integrate other DJ and performance gear like turntables, CD
players or a microphone via the inputs.
The innovative new Loop Recorder
feature acts like a fifth deck, to add an exciting layer on top of your mix by
recording and looping audio on-the-fly. An optional foot controller can be used
to engage the Loop Recorder while both hands are busy - for instance while
performing an advanced scratch routine!
Integrated Audio
Interface
Traktor Kontrol also includes a powerful and versatile
audio interface. With the same build quality as all multi-award winning Native
Instruments DJ sound cards, this unit lets you easily integrate external
turntables and CD players, instruments, MIDI gear, effects and a microphone into
your Traktor DJ sets.
Incorporating high-end AD/DA converters,
hi-gain balanced 1/4" TRS outputs and an ultra-wide frequency response, Traktor
Kontrol S4's integrated audio interface provides all the power, clarity, and
dynamic range that modern DJs demand.
Hit
The Road
Traktor Kontrol S4 is the ideal solution for mobile DJs as
it provides everything you need to rock a party in one highly portable unit. And
with its slim profile, it’s incredibly easy to transport from gig to gig.
The optional flight case carries your unit with 100% security, while the
case also elevates the unit to standard turntable and offers a stable stand for
your laptop.
Or you could opt for the stylish and functional Traktor
Trolley by UDG, which comfortably carries the S4 as well as all your other gig
gear - while also meeting the requirements of most airlines for carry-on
luggage.
S4 and Scratch
S4 users have the option to add scratch functionality to
the S4 system by purchasing the Traktor Kontrol S4 Scratch Upgrade. After
upgrading, you can control pitch, scratching, and transport functions of Traktor
using analog turntables and CDJs. This opens up even more opportunities for
creative mixing, fusing the already advanced features of the S4 with expressive
turntable / CDJ techniques.
* If your Trakto Kontrol S4 still includes the Traktor
Pro S4 software, you can update to the new Traktor Pro 2 version (released March
30, 2011), for free. Both versions perfectly integrate with the S4
controller, with all mappings pre-assigned for instant plug & play
usability.
