Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8 DJ Controller

All-in-one DJ system that represents a flagship of Native Instruments controllers, combining a cutting-edge professional audio interface, a 4-channel stand-alone mixer and enhanced Stems-ready decks for ultimate control over the included TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 software. It provides club-ready audio with pristine 24-bit/48 kHz clarity and touch-sensitive controls and high-res displays for cutting-edge DJ workflow. The system is designed for ultimate mixing with Stems – the open, multi-channel audio format for creative DJing. A Stem file contains a track split into four musical elements – bass, drums, vocals, and melody, for example. The controller allows for transitioning between elements stem-by-stem instead of using global volume and EQ control for an entire track; or applying effects just to a specific stem. Touch-sensitive knobs, faders, and LED-guided touch strips bring TRAKTOR software to life on vivid full-colour displays, keeping user focused on performance – not on the laptop. Two high-res colour displays put TRAKTOR software in plain sight. Browsing, track info, effect, and filter values come into view directly in front of the user. For even more detailed track-editing on the fly, signature sound can be created with responsive Remix Deck controls: intuitively mix in sounds with the 4+4 channel performance faders . Plus, live capture and trigger the samples and loops using the 16 color-coded performance pads. The controller boasts the most expansive connectivity on a DJ controller yet. The on-board 4-channel mixer features unique wear-resistant faders that offer unprecedented durability. Plus, TRAKTOR Mode buttons on every mixer channel switch between TRAKTOR and stand-alone mode – ideal for handing the night over to the next DJ. Dimensions: 387 x 66 x 585 mm. Weight: 5 kg.
