The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 is an innovative 4-channel DJ controller with flagship features and outstanding sound. The professional Traktor DJ controller introduces the Haptic Drive - high-torque, motorized jog wheels that give performers haptic feedback in 3x modes: Jog Mode, Turntable Mode and Beatgrid Adjust Mode. DJs can now detect cue points and loops by touch as they scroll through tracks, and turntable mode provides a natural feeling of ventilation matching as the jog wheels are pushed and delayed. The combination of software and hardware within Haptic Drive technology extends its functionality, and it will grow with future updates.
The Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 displays relevant performance information directly onto the hardware, so DJs have everything they need to know right in front of them at all times. High-resolution displays for each deck show waveform, track title, loop length and loop activation, key and BPM, as well as stem and remix deck components when performing with stems and samples. Additional visual feedback is provided by RGB light rings that circulate each jog wheel, helping to visualise deck selection, tempo, and track-end warnings.
An integrated professional audio interface with inputs for each channel provides support for DJs using timecode vinyl, as well as room for extensions for hybrid DJs who want to include drum machines and synths in their set-up. The robust industrial design of the Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 is designed to meet club requirements – this includes all-new Carbon Protect faders and inverted Carbon Strips that better protect against dust and other substances. There are also multiple microphone inputs and a stereo boot output.
