Traktor Kontrol S2 Now Available in Stores Worldwide

By Guest | October 5, 2011

Berlin, October 4th, 2011 – Native Instruments is excited to announce

that TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 is now available in stores worldwide. The

versatile integrated DJ performance system is based on a compact version

of the market-leading KONTROL S4 hardware, and was designed to set a new

professional standard in the two-deck category. KONTROL S2 provides a

"2+1" setup with sample decks as well as comprehensive mixing and effect

features, all based on the included full-featured TRAKTOR PRO 2 software.

To offer DJs a more portable alternative to the professional 4-deck

TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 system, the KONTROL S2 is centered around a new

compact controller hardware. It provides the same patent-pending

high-resolution jog wheels, combined with ergonomic controls for cueing,

looping and effects. The integrated 24bit/96 kHz sound card with its

dual stereo outputs is based on the award-winning technology of the

TRAKTOR audio interface range, and provides the same acclaimed sound

quality with its supreme clarity and especially high output volume. The

two full-featured playback decks of the TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 are

complemented by the versatile Sample Decks of the latest TRAKTOR PRO 2

software, which can add up to eight simultaneous one-shot samples or

beat-synced loops to the mix.

TRAKTOR KONTROL 2 benefits from the same seamless bi-directional

software-hardware integration as the KONTROL S4, featuring convenient

plug&play configuration, dynamically backlit control elements and the

high-resolution NHL protocol, for maximum efficiency both during the

setup and the actual DJ performance.
