Notes: Third-generation version of the go-to Traktor controller for most serious DJs. Motorised jog wheels, colour displays and all the goodies you'd expect from a pro option.

Supplier's notes:
TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 lets you connect with your tracks in entirely new ways: Not only do its motorized jog wheels spin and react to nudging, scratching, pitch-fading, and backspins, they transmit cue points, loop markers, and more direct to your fingertips. And with RGB LED rings and high-res colour displays keeping all the info you need front and centre in the booth, everything you need is right where you need it - so you're free to focus on your mix.

Haptic drive - the jog wheel, reinvented:

Haptic Drive gives you a new kind of feedback on touch-sensitive, motorized jog wheels. Change the torque and start/stop times to suit any DJ style - whether you're a laid-back beatmatcher or backspin aficionado. Get closer to your music in three modes - Turntable Mode, Jog Mode, and Beatgrid Adjust Mode.

Three modes - mix with more:

Spinning jog wheels in Turntable Mode let you nudge and scratch like you would with vinyl. Or use classic Jog Mode for spin-to-nudge response. Because you feel loops and cue points as you scroll past them, you can line up tracks in a second and let your fingers do the mixing. Beatgrid Adjust Mode lets you adjust the track's Beatgrid on the fly, so you're always in sync.

RGB light rings - your sound, surrounded:

RGB light rings around each jog wheel deliver quick, responsive tempo and nudging visualization on each deck. DJs using four decks can stay on-track with jog wheel color-coding, and track-end warnings make sure you're never caught out.

New mixer FX - your one-touch secret weapon:

Easy to use and instant - Mixer FX give you control over club-grade filters, delays, gates, reverbs, and more. They're great for big transitions, or to accentuate and control the nuances and ambience of your set - depending on the dancefloor. Use them either on their own, or in combination with the usual TRAKTOR Deck FX for fun ways to shift your sound.

Colour displays - all hands on deck:

Create quick and evolving mixes with everything you need in one place. Each high-resolution display shows track, key, tempo, looping, Hotcue, and waveform information. Control Stems and samples directly with dedicated controls, and access powerful software tools at your fingertips.

Hard to break - carbon protect faders:

Upside-down carbon strips in our revised fader design mean better protection from liquids, dust, and other substances, because they no longer fall onto the conductive carbon surface. It's a simple trick that makes a big difference to their durability - especially in a world of DJ-booth drinks and packed-out dancefloors.

All you need - expanded connectivity:

The TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 is equipped with an integrated, club-grade 24-bit / 96-kHz audio interface, with external input options on every channel. Connect turntables for crate-diggers, drum machines and synths for hybrid wizards, or anything else you can think of to push the boundaries of your mix. When connected to TRAKTOR PRO 3, the software adds headroom to the signal, before TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 gives it an analogue boost - meaning better sound at club levels.

Traktor Pro 3 - crafted to perform:

Audio engine improvements and a redesigned user interface make TRAKTOR PRO 3 the best-sounding and most powerful version yet. Dig into extensive re-editing and mixing possibilities with loops, Hotcues, Flux Mode, samples, beat-syncing, and the industry's largest FX suite - for easy experimentation and soundscape creation.

Notes: Designed for Serato and Algoriddim Djay, the long-awaited Mixon 8 Pro is a four-channel hybrid controller with detailed jogwheel displays. Standalone mixer and four FX paddles give versatility for creative mixing.

Supplier's Notes:
Enhanced jog wheels with real-time displays

Boasting sleek, touch-sensitive gun metal platters and high profile rims, the enhanced jog wheel design of the Mixon 8 Pro allows you to control your music precisely. And thanks to the new vivid on-jog displays, DJs are kept well informed with real-time track information, including virtual needle illumination, a playhead position indicator, and track time remaining or elapsed.

Four FX pedals for instant effects

As an industry first, the Mixon 8 Pro features 4 sturdy onboard FX Paddles, providing instant tactile control of all your effects. Each channel also has a 3-band EQ and dedicated sound colour filters to shape your music even more (LPF/HPF).

Stand-alone mixer inside

The powerful inbuilt standalone mixer with independent level meters for inputs and outputs gives you flexible connections to either turntables or media players so you can mix digital and analogue sources simultaneously (2x Phono/4x Line). For even more convenience, you can also route the dual Mic inputs (XLR/Jack) with dedicated talk-over functions into the mixer channels to perfectly EQ your live vocals with onboard controls.

Key features

Groove Circuit: freely manipulate drum parts and create new remixes

With the Groove Circuit function, you can easily create remixes by simply pressing the dedicated buttons.

And, by applying effects to the drum parts, you can easily create fills, build-ups, and breakdowns. By freely manipulating the drum parts, you can perform innovative and creative live remixes.

*The Groove Circuit function is only available on rekordbox for Mac/Windows.
*For rekordbox for iOS/Android, the function is linked to the sampler and others.
*For Serato DJ Pro, the function is linked to Stems FX (read on for more info).

Drum Swap

You can replace the drum parts of the track loaded on the deck, even when it's playing, with different drum loops at the push of a button. To help you enjoy this feature as soon as you unbox the DDJ-GRV6, you can download a free pack of 40 loops in a variety of genres.

Drum Roll / Trans

Easily create impromptu drum rolls, add fills to transitions, and build up tracks by applying the Roll or Trans effect to drum parts.

Layout based on the latest club-standard DJ gear

The DDJ-GRV6 features large jog wheels that are ideal for scratching, 8 Performance Pads which are positioned above the jogs - just as they are on the flagship CDJ-3000 multi player - and Beat FX from the DJM-A9 in the mixer section. All this means you can play with a feeling similar to using club-standard equipment, and perform dynamically by combining expressive scratching with pad and effect techniques that are perfect for club sets.

Smart Rotary Selector and Discover function revolutionize track selection

Smart Rotary Selector

The new Smart Rotary Selector on the DDJ-GRV6 allows for up/down and left/right tilting as well as conventional rotation and push operations when using rekordbox for Mac/Windows ver. 7. The left/right tilt enables intuitive navigation through the media browser, tree view, and track list, while the up/down tilt allows fast navigation through playlists and collections, so you can quickly find the track you want, no matter how big your music library is.

Discover function

By pressing the Discover button, you can quickly access the Track Suggestion feature, which helps you rediscover old favourites or encounter new songs.

*The Discover function is only available in rekordbox for Mac/Windows.

Remix performances with Stems FX in Serato DJ Pro

The DDJ-GRV6 is compatible with Serato DJ Pro, which includes a Stems FX feature. Express yourself musically by applying effects such as Roll, Trans, Echo Out, and Delay to the separate Stems of a track - drums, bass, vocal, or melody. Apply the overlay sheet included with the DDJ-GRV6 to change the button labels to Stems FX for ease of use.

Multi-device compatibility: DJ with your PC/Mac, mobile device, and more

You can choose to use the DDJ-GRV6 with not only rekordbox for Mac/Windows but also rekordbox for iOS/Android. With the option of playing via a mobile device, you have freedom to DJ in your preferred style and in a variety of different settings.

*The DDJ-GRV6 does not support Bluetoothr connections.

*Only channels 1 and 2 are available for playback in rekordbox for iOS/Android.

Intuitive user experience and sophisticated design

While it includes many advanced features, the matte black finish and ergonomic design mean you can easily find your way around the DDJ-GRV6. Despite the variety of functions, the minimalistic display and indicators offer intuitive access to the functions you need. And the Groove Circuit, one of the unit's key features, is cleanly laid out above the Performance Pads with a "step up" in between, ensuring you won't accidentally touch a jog wheel when you're using it. This sleek design allows you to get creative in performances that can be as simple or intricate as you like.
