Based on a compact version of the Kontrol S4 hardware, it was designed to feature in the two-deck category. Kontrol S2 provides a “2+1” setup with sample decks as well as mixing and effect features, based on the included Traktor Pro 2 software.
The Kontrol S2 is centered around a new controller hardware, designed to provide the same jog wheels, combined with controls for cueing, looping and effects. The integrated 24bit/96 kHz sound card with its dual stereo outputs is based on the technology of the Traktor audio interface range. The two playback decks of the Traktor Kontrol S2 are complemented by the Sample Decks of the Traktor Pro 2 software, which can add up to eight simultaneous one-shot samples or beat-synced loops to the mix.
Traktor Kontrol 2 has the same bi-directional software-hardware integration as the Kontrol S4, featuring plug&play configuration, backlit control elements and the NHL protocol.
A new demonstration video with DJ Dummy on Kontrol S2 is available here:
Pricing & Availability:
Traktor Kontrol S2 is available from authorized dealers and in the NI Online Shop for a suggested retail price of $669 / 599 EUR.
