collapse expand iconDescription

Brought to you by Native Instruments, the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 MK3 gives DJs and electronic music performers an intuitive way to mix and scratch with precision. This next-generation 4-deck controller pairs seamlessly with TRAKTOR PRO 3 DJ software for macOS and Windows to provide a powerful and versatile DJ system. Featuring large motorized jog wheels with haptic feedback, the S4 MK3 lets you tailor your performance style with three modes: Turntable Mode for scratching like vinyl, Jog Mode for nudging tracks into perfect beat sync, and Beatgrid Adjust Mode to modify beatgrids on the fly. Surrounding each jog wheel is an RGB LED ring that visualizes tempo, track selection, and jog wheel rotation.

Mix with Professional-Grade Gear

The S4 MK3 is equipped with a 24-bit/96kHz audio interface, offering high-quality connectivity for integrating external gear into your sets. With two stereo phono/line inputs, two stereo line inputs, two mic inputs (XLR and 1/4"), stereo main outputs (phono/line and XLR), and a stereo booth output (1/4"), you'll have all the I/O you need to push creative boundaries. When paired with TRAKTOR PRO 3 software, the S4 MK3 provides powerful editing tools, an extensive FX suite, and headroom for high-quality sound at club volumes.

One-Knob Mixer FX and Filtering

For instant transitions and nuanced control over your sound, the S4 MK3 features easy-to-use Mixer FX with filters, delays, gates, reverbs, and more. Use them on their own or combine them with TRAKTOR Deck FX for innovative ways to shift your set to match the energy of the crowd. Three filter types—low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass—provide even more flexibility in crafting your signature sound.

High-Resolution Color Displays

The S4 MK3's dual high-resolution color displays make it simple to keep tabs on key, tempo, transport, looping, Hotcues, and waveform information for all four decks at a glance. You can also directly control Stems and samples on the displays, putting powerful software tools right at your fingertips during performance.

Carbon-Protected Faders for Durability

The S4 MK3's volume and tempo faders are equipped with upside-down carbon strips to shield the conductive surfaces from damage by liquids and debris. This innovative shielding helps ensure a long product lifespan, even with heavy use in demanding club environments and mobile DJ settings.

TRAKTOR Pro 4 Software Update

TRAKTOR Pro 4 is the ultimate software update for DJs at every level, from casual mixers to festival headliners. It offers next-generation tools like flexible beatgrids, high-quality stem separation, Ozone Maximizer, and Pattern Player. With studio-grade effects, reliable sync, club-ready sound, and compatibility with any hardware, TRAKTOR Pro 4 ensures a seamless mixing experience. Its modular design and compatibility with MIDI and Ableton Link allow DJs to expand their setup and create unique workflows. The TRAKTOR S4 MK3 ships with the latest version of this flagship DJ software, enhancing your setup and creativity.

    Motorized job wheel, beat grid, 4 decks/channels, sample, drum machine, FX, beat grid technology, STEM. What more can be said. The software that this works with is not quite ready for prime time, but the hardware is superb!

  • Loving it so far

    I began beat mixing in 1985. Back then you had to physically alter speeds to accomplish the task. Having a software solution to this opens up so many doors to creativity. Only thing is I've barely touched the surface and my free time is already dwindling.

    I cannot believe what a difference this has made in not only my ability to mix but the quality of the overall product moving up from an S2. I love traktor's customizability and use this with my launchpad to control FX. This blows way higher priced CDJs out of the water.

    I love Native Instruments, and this is their best controller. I traded in an older controller for this and Traktor Pro 3. I can customize the controler to do everything I need. Also, this is a stand-alone mixer which is great. if my Laptop dies during a gig, this still works and can play music through my cellphone.
