Notes: Entry-level controller for NI's Traktor DJ software. Surprisingly feature-packed for such an affordable price. Two channels with integrated mixer and effects, plus RGB pads for hot cues and loops.

Supplier notes:
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.

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 favourite 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.

WHAT'S NEW?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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