## Description

From the manufacturer Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S3 4-Channel DJ Controller TRAKTOR KONTROL S3 has everything you need to DJ across four decks. At its heart is the four-channel mixer, with full-length faders, EQ, cueing, and Mixer FX control over each deck. Juggle Hotcues, samples, and loops with eight RGB pads on each deck. When it’s time to take things further, switch decks and keep on-track with the jog wheel light rings. When it’s time to get your mix on, there’s plenty of jog wheel to go around. Touch-sensitive and super smooth, they’re not just for nudging and stalling, but feel great for scratch workouts too. RGB light rings let you know which deck is playing at a glance, and warn you when you’re almost out of track. RE-EDIT, REWORK, REINVENT Fire off samples, loop drum patterns, chop in vocal cuts, or even work your own productions into the mix if that’s your thing. Loop any part of a track and assign it to a pad, or skip to any part of your track using Hotcues. TRAKTOR PRO’s beatsync means you’ll never lose the groove. MIXER FX ONE-TOUCH DANCEFLOOR TRIPS Cut the kick and open a reverb, or chop things up with a dotted delay – Mixer FX are one-touch effects on each channel, great for building energy, shaping your sound, or just going wild. Choose from eight effects and three filters, and assign them to the dedicated slots on the mixer for quick access. Dive into four-deck DJing, with full control over your mix Pristine, punchy sound with high dynamic range Plug and play with our pro DJ software TRAKTOR PRO 3 included Spin on two decks with TRAKTOR DJ 2 for iPad and desktop Features at a Glance See which deck you're playing on and whether it's active, as well as track-end warnings at a glance. Choose from vinyl-style, touch-sensitive top plates, or classic controller jog modes. Punch in Hotcues, save loops, and launch samples on 16 RGB pads. 4-channel mixer, with 3-band EQs, full-length faders, and one-touch Mixer FX. Club-ready, integrated soundcard with auxiliary and mic inputs. From layering beats to firing off samples to keeping a banger track parked on Deck C; whether you’re throwing in acapellas or love a double drop, four decks make it happen. LAYER BEATS From blending drum parts to polyrhythmic excursions, layering drums is a sure-fire way to energize your sets, build soundscapes, and take the audience on a real trip. THE WILDCARD TRACK Know a track that will set the roof on fire? Keep it loaded on your fourth deck, tease a short loop, then drop it when the time’s right to set things off, or when you need some serious fire to bring a crowd back to the dancefloor. ONE-SHOTS AND LOOPS Blend percussion, acapellas, and soundscapes on the first three channels, with extra space for triggering samples and additional loops on the fourth – great for complex layering, or just for launching that one-shot with your DJ name. ACAPELLAS From hard chops to soulful vocal mixes ripped from a record store find, throw an acapella into the melting pot at peak-time for singalong re-edits the world will only hear once.

Review: Professional DJ review for the Traktor S3. - This is by far the best DJ controller on the market for price. Has all pro inputs and outputs that some controllers twice the price don’t have! I use this controller weekly DJing in some of the biggest nightclubs in London. I never have any issues with the Traktor software, it’s solid and flawless! The unit itself for me is sturdy and has lasted well. I would highly advise anyone who buys this controller to buy the Traktor flight case to keep it protected. (You can find this on desertcart marked down as the S4 case. S3 fits perfectly in this case as you can see in the picture. I have over 23 years professional experience as a DJ. I can assure you for price this is by far one of the best controllers available. Decent build quality, ridiculous amounts of inputs and outputs, solid software that never ever crashes. Not many people on the professional circuit use Traktor anymore, which is great for me because this software helps me stand out. I personally turn off the sync button and mix manually which gives this controller an amazing CDJ type feel when mixing. Also having sync on really drains laptop processing power. Having it off mixing manually is best for professionals. This controller has booth output, xlr output, rca output, line output, line in, microphone input… Tell me any controller at this price bracket that has all that!!! None…. Even some controllers twice the price don’t have these inputs and outputs… The only downfall is that the microphone input is not amazing although is more than adequate. You will see what I mean for yourself when using. If it had an analog mic input it would be better. Other than that 5 star controller that is a workhorse for me and helps me make a solid living from music! Have no doubt that if you use this controller right that it’s a beast!
Review: Great Quality! Traktor Pro 3 serial number inside. - Here are the many benefits: 1. Two types of master output. 2. One stereo input for your sampler, CDJ, drum machine, etc. 3. Jack and Mini-Jack for the CUE. 4. Really good quality and clean design. 5. Works with different software (sometimes I use Djay Pro). 6. Good sound engine. 7. Ability to assign different FX on each deck. 8. Price: I bought it for 379 GBP, but it comes with Traktor Pro 3 for free, which costs around 100 GBP. It feels like you're buying this controller for 279 GBP, which is the price of a Pioneer FLX4. I really love it. There is enough space to do your mixing and prepare additional tracks/drones/percs for decks 3 and 4.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this compatible with virtual dj, and can i work with my mac and iphone are there enough ports for this to happen as i like using both**
A: No it’s not compatible with virtual DJ it comes with its own traktor  software which is far superior.  Yes it has an additional phono input for phone or iPad so  you can use that along with your Mac.

**Q: Can you connect external turntables to this?**
A: You can only connect one external line in sound unit. This can be a CDJ for example but not a vinyl deck as they are analog/phono. The external line in shares the 4th fader with Traktor software, so you can switch between them, effectively making it a 5 deck mixer.

**Q: Will my laptop be able to run the software, i've amd athlon 300u processor?**
A: You would have to check this information on manufacturer's website on the Specifications tab.

**Q: Can I run traktor vynl software and connect turntables**
A: Having checked their site, i think vinyl turntables may require a different input, but there'll likely be a way around that. I think theyre cdj compatable, and obviously mp3. The key attraction for me was mic input (dynamic) and brand quality. The latest traktor software is included, roughly £100 standalone. This is compatable with windows or ipad. Gone are the days you have to buy the whole setup.
