Let’s take a tour of the unit and point out some of those features… Decks and transport It has enough new stuff to keep you engaged, but it is a well thought out controller in the sense that it hasn’t got absolutely everything you can imagine on it – you get the sense of the designers working hard to magnify the features around Traktor’s traditional strengths, while stripping back those that may not be of huge interest to Traktor users. The decks are a little wider than those of the S4 Mk 1/2, with the mixer subsequently a bit narrower.Īnother big and good change is that the jogwheels are substantially larger, with the tempo faders having moved lower down the controller, out of their way.įrom the start, we found the Kontrol S4 Mk3 a lot of fun to use. This is the way the market has gone and we prefer it. One big change is that the decks are now laid out as if they were separates, as opposed to the mirror image layout of the previous unit. While it is still plastic, it is classier than the S4 Mk1/2 (the glossy surface of the mixer area is now the same muted matte as the deck areas) and feels well built. We always thought the size of the S4 Mk1 and 2 were about right for a controller of this type, and we think the same about this one.

The S4 Mk3 does away with the “mirror image” deck layout of previous versions.

Setting up is handled easily enough by the software which recognises the Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 when plugged in, so once you’ve got power to it, plugged your powered speakers or amp and speakers into one of the main outputs on the back, and added your headphones via either the 1/8″ or 1/4″ sockets on the front, you’re ready to go.

The Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 comes in a plain black box with simple labelling, and has black polystyrene inside, giving a feeling of class and quality from the start.
