Instant DJ Rig, Just Add Laptop!

Here's a complete laptop DJ system that's going to totally change the way you DJ. Even if you already use Traktor Pro, the tricks you can pull off with Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 will blow your mind. Here's the deal - Traktor Kontrol S4 isn't just a DJ controller/audio interface and software package, it's a complete controllerism rig that's totally locked together and ready to go. You see, not only does the Traktor Pro S4 software feature awesome sampling and looping functions never before seen in Traktor Pro, but S4 controller itself sports dedicated controls for all of these functions. Oh yeah, and the S4 is also an amazing, pro-quality audio interface. Now, let's get into the details.

Take a look at the S4 USB controller and audio interface. This things is awesome! It sends information to Traktor Pro S4 at over 30 times the speed of standard MIDI, and because Traktor Pro S4 can handle it, all your fader movements and jog wheel slides happen instantly and smoothly. The S4's jog wheels themselves are more than a little impressive, featuring a fantastic feel and Native Instruments patent-pending magnetic brakes. The replaceable crossfader too offers plenty of play, plus a fully variable crossover curve. The S4 is also a fully-functional 4-channel audio interface that sounds freaking amazing! It's got all the jacks you need to hook up your other DJ gear, plus two mic pres. The whole thing is driven by Cirrus-Logic AD/DA converters capable of up to 24-bit/96kHz pristine digital audio.

Check out Traktor Pro S4 - the killer new version or Traktor Pro designed just for the Traktor Komplete S4 system. Right off the bat, you'll love what Traktor Pro S4 has to offer. First off, there's Traktor Pro S4's complete integration with iTunes, not a bad upgrade in itself. Then there are the new sampling functions. This is where Traktor Pro S4 really outshine other DJ software. If you're already familiar with Traktor Pro's 4-deck system, then you know how much flexibility these extra decks give you. But most of us don't use these extra decks as... well... regular playback decks. Normally, we use them for loops or cues. That's why Native Instruments came up with Sample Decks.

Traktor Pro S4's Sample Decks give you four sample slots each. You can load up prepared loops or samples (Native Instruments even tosses in a few Gigs, just for fun) or snag them straight from another deck's playback. Now you can DJ entirely from loops, without giving up your DJ rig or compromising your style. Another totally awesome tool is the Loop Recorder. The Loop Recorder lets you snag new samples from any incoming audio. Loop them, stack them, overdub them till they're perfect, and then toss them into a Sample Deck's slot for future use. And since the Loop Recorder acts like a sort of fifth deck, you never have to give up one of your channels to bust out something new. See? Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 is more than just another DJ controller package, it's a whole new way to DJ!
