KONTROL IN ACTION

The sleek, stylish controller puts TRAKTOR at your fingertips - fusing hardware and software into one harmonic unit. Innovative Sample Decks, high-quality electromagnetic jog wheels, two effect units and two clearly laid-out deck control sections can be assigned to any of the four software decks and deliver a new level in creative control over your one shots, tracks and loops.

The intuitive and ergonomic controller layout and its robust rotary knobs provide precise visual and tactile status feedback – perfect for any DJ situation. Highly responsive to the touch, TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 is incredibly smooth to use, while its slim and compact profile makes it easy to transport from gig to gig.

Take Kontrol


TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 is the result of exceptionally high-quality workmanship. With meticulous attention to the ergonomics of DJing, the spacious layout is designed for and perfectly integrated with the latest TRAKTOR PRO software - everything you need to control is intuitively placed and feels natural right from the start.

The button grid, located under each jog wheel, contains 12 buttons in three rows of four, laid out to in a design that best suits the evolving nature of digital DJing, with easy access to elemental transport controls, as well as cue points and trigger buttons for samples and loops.

Fully customizable

Every DJ has his own way of doing things, and with its easy to use customization features, the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 can really cater to your style. For example, you can easily assign default hotcue settings suited to your playing style, set favorite and directly available FX without browsing, or switch pitch faders between relative and absolute modes.

Jog Wheel Technologie

The S4 features advanced jog wheel technology that makes it one of the most consistent, precise and reliable controllers on the market. DJs will instantly appreciate the grip of the rubber coated outer rim and the touch detection of the wheel’s glossy top plate, requiring light but firm contact for activation. This design avoids accidental triggering and provides gratifying physical feedback for the user.

With 1,000 counts per revolution, the precision and accuracy for cueing or scratching feels like vinyl. The patent-pending magnetic braking system is finely calibrated – it doesn’t wear out and ensures a reliable consistency over its entire lifespan.

NEW TRAKTOR PRO S4 Version

TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 includes a new, fully customized version of the legendary TRAKTOR PRO software, adapted in all aspects to perfectly integrate with the S4 controller.

TRAKTOR PRO S4 is built on the same rock-solid 4-deck engine pioneered by Native Instruments five years ago, and integrates several ground-breaking new features for use with the hardware controller, arming you with everything you need to rock amazing DJ sets.
