The Traktor Kontrol S4 DJ Controller

Critics have already been quick to dismiss the new Traktor Kontrol S4 as NI’s answer to Serato’s ITCH, which is true enough; but not the whole truth.

The Kontrol S4 is a 4-channel controller, designed to professional specs; but that’s where the similarities end. Unlike other controllers, the S4 comes with dedicated software that includes the full feature-set of Traktor Pro, making for air-tight integration that brings the S4 more in line with something like the Pioneer CDJ. The S4 also offers a built-in sound card, based on NI’s most excellent Audio 4DJ, placing it another notch above its MIDI-only brethren.

The big deal here is the easy access the S4 provides to its groundbreaking sample deck and loop recorder, which clearly takes performance DJing to an entirely new level.
