All S4 registered customers are entitled to a free upgrade to Traktor Pro 2 software when released in April. Customers will receive e-mail notification from NI after registration. Take Kontrol TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 is the result of exceptionally high-quality workmanship. With meticulous attention to the ergonomics of DJing, the spacious layout is designed for and perfectly integrated with the latest TRAKTOR PRO software - everything you need to control is intuitively placed and feels natural right from the start.
The button grid, located under each jog wheel, contains 12 buttons in three rows of four, laid out to in a design that best suits the evolving nature of digital DJing, with easy access to elemental transport controls, as well as cue points and trigger buttons for samples and loops.
True Plug and Play Usability It's never been easier to get into the mix. TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 requires minimal set up - true plug and play usability means that all you need to do is hook up your computer to the S4 and connect it to PA, amp, or speakers.
As the controller was built from the ground up by the same team that created TRAKTOR, it's in perfect synergy with the software - you don't need to make any mapping or control assignments to get started. However, if you wish to customize the controller to better suit your individual workflow, simply dive into the S4 Preferences and express yourself.
Fully Customizable Every DJ has his own way of doing things, and with its easy to use customization features, the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 can really cater to your style. For example, you can easily assign default hotcue settings suited to your playing style, set favorite and directly available FX without browsing, or switch pitch faders between relative and absolute modes.
If you don’t need the Sample Deck functions, you can assign the 8 button grid to behave in a number of different creative ways, including setting up 8 different hot cues for your tracks, or even a backward loop function.
Job Wheel Technology The S4 features advanced jog wheel technology that makes it one of the most consistent, precise and reliable controllers on the market. DJs will instantly appreciate the grip of the rubber coated outer rim and the touch detection of the wheel’s glossy top plate, requiring light but firm contact for activation. This design avoids accidental triggering and provides gratifying physical feedback for the user.
With 1,000 counts per revolution, the precision and accuracy for cueing or scratching feels like vinyl. The patent-pending braking system is finely calibrated – it doesn’t wear out and ensures a reliable consistency over its entire lifespan. Prescision Engineered With a specially designed NHL protocol allowing 30 times more data to be processed compared to regular MIDI, the S4 is incredibly responsive. Under the hood, this controller is working at lightning speed to provide a smoother, more precise user experience. You will instantly notice the difference when working the faders or EQs while in the mix - fluid control over every aspect of your performance is right at your fingertips. In fact, the crossfader on the S4 is so precise it can detect movement at less than 1/4 of the width of a human hair!
