This thing is a beast, 6 years old and still beats out most of the controllers on the market now, I even sold my Denon Prime 4+ because of all the aggravation with the engine software and how massive that controller is. The S4 is just amazing, no fluff just great quality and the Traktor software just keeps getting better. Controllers are a dime a dozen now, great ones are rare.
Damn wasn’t expecting for traktor to still be the best in 2024. I have a DDJ 200 I believe I love it but about to receive a gift which is the traktor Kontrol S4 and been doing a lot of research now
The FX buttons located at the top of the interface have not been thoroughly explained. Initially, it is necessary to configure the FX within the software (Traktor Pro 4) and select either single, group, or pattern player modes. The situation becomes somewhat perplexing: my configuration includes four FX units in TP4, yet the FX buttons on the S4 only function with FX1 and FX2. To access FX3 and FX4, one must utilize the mouse to activate them through the software. Additionally, to apply FX to a specific deck, it is essential to select the corresponding option in the software by clicking on 1 or 2 for two FX modes, or 1, 2, 3, or 4 for four FX modes. The hardware buttons facilitate the adjustment of FX depth and allow for toggling them on or off. In my experience with the S3, all of these actions were performed using the mouse, leading me to question the significant advantages of the S4 concerning FX functionality.
yeah im put off buying something that's 7 years old once its discontinued it wont have parts and upgrades within a year or so, and they go quite for years at a time. best controller ever made for sure though and the only one that offers real stems control
I have this too .. I m mixing whithout sync or Watch bpm .. I ‘ m mixing all generes of song, manipulate semitone in real time and more. I m crafted my stems accurately ecc ecc. the functions are in the right place and is really confortable too use all of the stuff . I m have an sc live 4 too but is like a toy in comparison ..I hope NI emproved the grids analysis however..
I have this one, it's a nice mixer but I shouldn't buy it again. Regularly "The Play button" (deck B) is faltering. I have to press really and really hard on the play button to start the track but it runs not smooth (it seems that the cue knob is also starting to faltering) And Native (Traktor) innovates very, very, very slowlyyyyy it doesn't keep up with the times
and its fantastic
hahaha 😂 it really is!

I'm going to the shop NOW....LOL
Does anyone know if NI plans on releasing new hardware any time soon? This controller is quite old already.

Does this work with serato?
🤣 well probably no but some will have made a midi map for it
Now is working with serato Dj pro 321
if they made this with a screen and standalone usb it would be perfect
It would also be around £1500-2000 as well!
No 😭 I thought you could hook up a usb
It is almost perfect butit lacks on Loop In/Out buttons which is a supe basic stufff to have
But it's got standalone so you could hook up a pair of cdjs or sc6000s which both have loop buttons

Almost 6 years old and still no one has made a controller anything like it.
