The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 MK3 is a portable DJ controller that allows you to play anywhere. It comes with precision jog wheels that can be used to scratch, nudge, and manually adjust the beatgrid in Traktor. The RGB pads allow you to remix on the fly and create unique build-ups using a range of new and easy-to-use FX. The controller easily connects to your laptop and is powered through USB. It also includes the full version of Traktor Pro 3, so you can start DJing right out of the box. With its compact size, it’s perfect for main room vibes or taking with you on the go.
If you’re using MacOS Big Sur 11.2 or an Apple Silicon M1 computer, there is an important firmware update available. With the latest TRAKTOR PRO update (3.4.1), all products within the TRAKTOR range can now be used with these systems. Traktor Pro 3 is the latest version of the award-winning Traktor DJ software and it comes with exciting new features and enhancements. Version 3.1 includes parallel waveforms, single deck view, standalone mode (for Kontrol S4 Mk3), and custom mapping for the S8 and D2.
Parallel waveforms provide new ways to view your decks, with options for Parallel Full and Parallel Slim settings. Single deck view allows you to set the number of visible decks to one, stretching the waveform across the full width of the screen for increased precision. Tag writing mode has been introduced, allowing you to configure the types of metadata Traktor writes to audio files. There have also been a range of improvements and fixes made.
The Traktor Kontrol S2 features new large jog wheels that offer more responsive touch-sensitivity for precise control when scratching and nudging. There are two modes available: Jog mode for spin-to-nudge and scratch capabilities, and Beatgrid adjust mode for manually adjusting the beatgrid in Traktor.
The layout of the Traktor Kontrol S2 is designed for perfect integration with Traktor software. The controls are familiar and easy to use, and they are already assigned to work with Traktor Pro. However, you can also customize the mapping to suit your preferences.
The Traktor Kontrol S2 offers a range of intuitive controls for seamless creative mixing. It includes EQ/FX knobs, precision jog wheels, and remix decks. You can easily mashup tracks, create loops on-the-fly, perform and switch through hot cue points using the remix decks. The loops section allows you to easily adjust loop length while performing. The Kontrol S2 also features an extra remix channel for smooth mixing of the remix decks.
Designed with professionalism in mind, the Traktor Kontrol S2 provides a fluid and seamless DJ experience when performing live. It offers club-ready output levels and features an integrated soundcard and on-board audio interface for easy connection to the sound system at a club.
The Kontrol S2 comes with Traktor Pro 3 DJ Software, the most stable and best-sounding version ever. It offers plug-and-play operation and allows you to keep tracks in time while juggling and remixing. It provides visual feedback with waveforms, BPM, and loops, and allows you to create playlists and manage tracks before a set. You can sync tracks instantly with track BPM, beatgrids, and key.
Additional features of the Traktor Kontrol S2 include new large jog wheels, a club-standard layout, 16 RGB pads for triggering hotcues, loops, or samples, 3-band EQs with modeling of industry-standard mixer EQs, Mixer FX for instant one-knob FX control, and a Pro Mixer Layout with a redesigned monitoring section and dedicated slots for Mixer FX and filters.
