About Native Instruments TRAKTOR KONTROL S3

Discover the limitless possibilities of DJing with the TRAKTOR KONTROL S3 Essential 4-Channel DJ Controller. This state-of-the-art device is designed to elevate your DJ sets, offering you the freedom to mix across four decks.

Experience the thrill of four-deck DJing, a feature that doubles your creative freedom compared to traditional two-channel setups. Layer beats, trigger samples, or keep a crowd-pleasing track ready on Deck C. Whether you're incorporating acapellas or executing a double drop, the four-deck system makes it all possible.

The TRAKTOR KONTROL S3 is a powerhouse for layering beats. From blending drum parts to creating polyrhythmic soundscapes, this controller is your ticket to energizing your sets and taking your audience on an unforgettable auditory journey.

Keep a wildcard track loaded on your fourth deck, ready to ignite the dancefloor at the perfect moment. Blend percussion, acapellas, and soundscapes on the first three channels, with extra space on the fourth for triggering samples and additional loops. This is ideal for complex layering or for launching that one-shot with your DJ name.

At the heart of the TRAKTOR KONTROL S3 is a four-channel mixer, complete with full-length faders, EQ, cueing, and Mixer FX control over each deck. Juggle Hotcues, samples, and loops with the eight RGB pads on each deck. When you're ready to switch things up, simply switch decks and stay on track with the jog wheel light rings.

The touch-sensitive jog wheels are not just for nudging and stalling, but also provide a smooth feel for scratch workouts. The RGB light rings indicate which deck is playing at a glance and warn you when you're nearing the end of a track.

With the TRAKTOR KONTROL S3, you can re-edit, rework, and reinvent your mix. Fire off samples, loop drum patterns, chop in vocal cuts, or even incorporate your own productions into the mix. The TRAKTOR PRO's beatsync ensures you'll never lose the groove.

The device comes with one-touch Mixer FX for each channel, perfect for building energy, shaping your sound, or adding a wild touch to your mix. Choose from eight effects and three filters, and assign them to the dedicated slots on the mixer for quick access.

The TRAKTOR KONTROL S3 comes paired with the full version of TRAKTOR PRO 3, packed with expressive features and re-edit tools for a unique, performative mixing experience. Mix tracks, live inputs, Remix decks, Stems, and loops on up to four decks to create a unique sound.

This DJ controller is designed for high-fidelity performance and better connectivity. It features pro-grade XLR and RCA main outputs with a huge dynamic range, a 1/4" TRS booth output, and 3.5 / 6.3 mm headphone outputs. For vocalists or MCs, there's a dedicated combo XLR input on board, as well as an additional RCA input for mixing with external audio.

Take your DJing to the next level with the TRAKTOR KONTROL S3 Essential 4-Channel DJ Controller, the ultimate tool for creative, professional, and seamless DJing.
