Turn Your Laptop into an Awesome DJ Rig

Your complete on-the-go DJ rig! Native Instruments' Traktor Kontrol S4 is an all-in-one laptop-based DJ system that combines the revolutionary next step in the Traktor Pro DJ software series, Traktor Pro S4, with a custom-built USB audio interface and turntable-style controller. Traktor Pro S4 adds amazing new sampling and sample-playback capability to Traktor Pro. The Traktor Kontrol S4 controller puts all the tools you need right at your fingertips. You get amazing hands-on control, including two amazing high-resolution jog wheels equipped with patent-pending magnetic brakes, as well as a general layout that covers all of Traktor Pro S4's primary functions.



More than just a DJ controller, the Traktor Kontrol S4 controller is also a super-high-quality 4-channel USB audio interface that's capable of handling digital audio of up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution. It comes armed with a pair of excellent microphone preamps and enough other analog inputs to accommodate any other DJ gear you want to use. Each channel has its own level fader, 3-band EQ, filter knob, and gain control, as well as two effects sends. The Traktor Kontrol S4's super-smooth crossfader has an adjustable sharpness curve, and it's completely replaceable.

On the software side, Traktor Kontrol S4 comes with the custom Traktor Pro S4 DJ software, which is based on the highly popular Traktor Pro platform. There are, however, some killer new features in Traktor Pro S4 that will blow you away! Similar to previous versions of Traktor Pro, Traktor Pro S4 features four independent decks. What's different is that Traktor Pro S4 also offers all-new Sample Decks, which allow you to perform live sampling and looping tricks. Snag loops from live tracks or load them up from your library. Traktor Kontrol S4 even comes with a ton of excellent content from Loop Masters to get you started.

Each Sample Deck can hold up to four loops, which lets you DJ entirely from loops if you like, but without giving up the pacing and environment of a traditional DJ setup. Traktor Kontrol S4's software also lets you grab samples from incoming audio, thanks to its Loop Recorder. The Loop Recorder acts, more or less, as a fifth deck in Traktor Pro S4, allowing you to record, layer, and overdub samples from any of the S4's live inputs. Once you've created the loop you want, you can transfer the new loop to one of your Sample Deck slots. Whether you prefer an old-school approach or are ready to try something new, you're going to love DJing with Native Instruments' Traktor Kontrol S4!

Excellent Device

I purchased this device from Sweetwater. The device came in brand-new perfect, well packaged condition. Cheers to my Sweetwater engineer Chris Lewis. I have an old Numark Mixtrack unit that I've used ... read more [+]on very simple gigs. I'm not a super DJ. I'm just your average music provider called to the scene when there are 80s parties going on and they need simple continuous mixing of music free of charge (as long as they feed me). No fancy quick hands or scratching here. The Traktor Kontrol S4 is a major step up to what I currently have. The S4 is VERY user-friendly. Everything is laid out in a very easy to understand, flowing work process. Installation was easy. Make sure you have an RCA cable to connect your S4 to a pair of powered speakers so you can easily hear what's ON AIR ,while listening to your CUEING with your headphones. Overall, this is a great investment. Not bad for the price. Buy it from Sweetwater. close [-]

Kontrol Your Life!

First off let me thank Sweetwater. I placed my order from South Korea and received this amazing piece of equipment in 5 days! Wow! From the second I placed my order, to the time I opened the box, I k... read more [+]new there was a level of care and customer service next to none.

As for the S4... I've had about a week to test every aspect of its capabilities and I have to say I'm blown away. I'm new to Traktor as I was previously an SSL user. The interface is simple and spot on. There were no calibrations needed for the jog wheels or fine tuning what so ever. Every knob, paddle and button is sturdy and feel like they could take a beating. If I could change anything, I would make the jog wheels a bit bigger so they would feel a bit more "adult sized" but that's just my opinion. The "sync" feature is amazing. I almost feel like I'm cheating just by using it. Using the "sync" feature virtually makes every thing you do, seamless. No more stopping a track to find the perfect place to land a loop or cue... this features lays down the beginning of your cue right on the down beat. How easy is that?!

The possibilities are endless with this thing! I wanted to take the time to write a review to help encourage any of you "on the fence" trying to decide which of these to purchase. I know I read review after review, comparing multiple brands and finally made the choice. Man... I just can't say how happy I am with my purchase. Best bang for your buck! close [-]
