Native Instruments today announced new
versions of both the 4-channel DJ system TRAKTOR
KONTROL S4 and its 2-channel counterpart, TRAKTOR KONTROL S2.
The
KONTROL S4 and S2 combine a DJ mixing interface,
built-in 24 bit/96 kHz soundcard, and an interface into an
all-in-one DJ system engineered for accurate control of TRAKTOR software.
Both units now offer an improved look and feel with added control over the
latest TRAKTOR PRO 2 features. Furthermore, both the KONTROL S4 and
S2 are now plug-and-play with TRAKTOR DJ app for iPad and iPhone.
TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 now features a
new design with 8 color-coded RGB buttons that trigger and identify
loops, cue points, and samples for improved visual feedback. Also upgraded
are high resolution jog-wheels which now feature aluminum
plates for increased durability. The Flux Mode
feature is now instantly accessible on the KONTROL S4 and S2 via
dedicated buttons on each deck, while TRAKTOR PRO 2?s Remix Decks
controls can now be accessed directly from the units.
Built to the same standards as the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4, the
KONTROL S2 has also been redesigned with RGB backlit buttons, reinforced
knobs, and high-res jog wheels also with new aluminum plates. In addition to
offering all core TRAKTOR PRO 2 controls, the KONTROL S2 is now plug and-
play with TRAKTOR DJ, delivering physical control for every function
including cue points and Freeze Mode.
Both TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 and S2 include a full version of the flagship
TRAKTOR PRO 2 with Remix Decks software. TRAKTOR PRO 2 offers cue, loop, and
sampling functions, a suite of over 30 effects, pro-grade EQs, and fluid
playback control of up to 4 decks. DJs can instantly add live editing and
sampling to their sets with the use of TRAKTOR?s Remix Decks. Eight Remix
Deck slots can hold a total of up to 64 loops or one-shot samples and
readymade Remix Sets from renowned artists are available for instant use.
TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 and S2 also now boast integration with the
TRAKTOR DJ app for iPad and iPhone. With a 2-channel mixer,
3-band equalizers, and eight professional effects, TRAKTOR DJ brings the
quality of TRAKTOR PRO software to the compact iOS platform.
Both units charge connected iOS devices when in use.
The TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 will be available at retailers worldwide and at the
NI Online Shop for $799. The TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 will be available for $499.
