Native Instruments TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 MK3 2+1-Channel DJ Controller

House-party Portability Meets Club-standard Layout

Whether it's bass-heavy breakdowns, steppy synths or peak-time rewinds that define your style, the TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 has everything you need to make your mix happen. Craft sets on two decks and get creative with easy-to-use tools like looping, beat syncing and club-grade effects.

Playlist To Dancefloor In No Time

Turn the music you listen to into the sets you play, with a streamlined interface that makes blending tracks a breeze. Plug in, line up a few of your favorite tracks and get mixing wherever you are. You can leave the beatmatching to TRAKTOR, so you have more time to pick tunes that fit the vibe, experiment with FX, use looping and remix decks and to define your own sound. Whether you're at a house party, a bar or the club, you can create mixes made to make you move.

Everything You Need. Where You Need It

Get your mixes down super-quick: Line up your next track, find the cue point, cut the kick and bring in some reverb before the drop. Easily access expressive effects and essential controls for chops, stops and seamless transitions. Get the sound in your head through the speakers in seconds.

Scratch. Spin. Slip

If your style is very hands-on, we've given you a lot of jog wheel to play with. Use it to beatmatch tracks - nudge the deck forward or back with the jog wheels to get a track in sync, use the touch-sensitive top-plate to find your starting position or even spin it back for high-energy rewinds. Because they're bigger, nudging, scratching and scrolling is even easier.

Edit And Re-edit With Loops And Hotcues

Timing is everything, as they say. Jump to different parts of a track with cue points, depending on what the crowd needs. Because each is assigned to one of eight pads on each deck, you can play them like an instrument to seriously chop things up. Use loops for longer mixes or for more time to experiment. Everything will always be in sync with the beat, so you'll never lose the groove.

Make Mixer FX Your Secret Weapon

You've got the perfect playlist down, but it's what goes on between your tracks that can make all the difference. Build exciting transitions with one-touch control of new Mixer FX on each channel. Open up a big reverb, a dubby delay or a smooth filter to get your tracks popping during the mix. Choose from eight club-grade effects and three filters and use up to four at a time with the dedicated Mixer FX control.

What's New?

More Pads

The perfect way to really ramp up your mixing, with eight RGB pads on each deck. Cut straight to a hook everybody knows by setting and triggering cue points or punch in your own edits with samples on a Remix deck.

Bigger Jog Wheels

Upsized, touch-sensitive jog wheels let you cue, scratch and nudge tracks much more accurately - not to mention perform bigger backspins. They also mean more fun getting hands-on with your music.

New Design

A familiar club-standard layout, wherever you go. Browse tracks, adjust beatgrids, use effects and features like Flux Mode, directly on the TRAKTOR KONTROL S2. Everything you need for creative mixes at your fingertips.

Mixer FX

Turn up your track transitions with new Mixer FX: Cut bass with a filter instead of EQ for resonant kicks or get hi-hats galloping with delay. A choice of eight effects and three filters ensures you always have the right tools to hand.

Get Help With Your First Mix

Don't sit with your S2 in silence! If it's you first time using our gear or you're wondering how to get started, our guide will take you through everything from setting up, to mixing tracks - step by step.

Remix On The Fly With Stems And Samples

Scale up your set with Steams and loops. Trigger one-shot sounds and samples to inject new energy into your mix.

Stems

The Stems audio format splits tracks into four musical components, such as drums, bass, vocals and melody, so you can mix them independently. Edit and re-edit in the heat of the moment, blend basslines and vocals from songs you know to create songs you didn't.

Remix Decks

One-shot samples and loops on remix decks blur the lines between DJ and live performance. Insert vocals, melodies, atmospheric effects and more into a remix deck to trigger and manipulate them in sync with the rest of your mix.

Sounds.com

Sounds.com provides thousands of royalty-free hits and loops - from drums to synths, instruments, vocals and more. Search for samples by BPM, genre, style and key. Drag-and-drop them into remix decks to add a new dimension to your mix and expand its sonic palette.
