After buying the S4 9 almost 9 years ago I have been dreaming of this moment and I am so decommissioning the old unit for this brand new beast of an S4!!! :)
I like the guy, he relax me! :)
I love my Kontrol S4 I just got it in a few days ago. A wise investment!!!
*Awesome deck - already used it in three shows this week. BLASTING FUN*
Jesus rollerblading christ this sounds amazing
Rollerblading is also amazing!
This is amazing technology! You could be so so creative with this device. Just amazing ! It’s EVERYTHING I’m looking for , wow! This just made my decision. This is the controller I’m going to get and you get pro 3 too with the device which is awesome. Very smart of them to include that
Dissapointed. He didn't take his shirt off. But the S4 is SOLD. I will order it right away.
Was just wondering why you assigned the phono pre to channels A and B when your decks will lie on the left and right of channels C and D? (the S4 jog wheels) surely it would have been better to use C and D and keep everything in a line
Does the S4 mk3 work with the iPad Pro and iOS based traktor ? We are waiting to purchase until we confirm this feature.
My question being a electrical engineer. I have had to fix so many of the older models. I hope when you put the new volume and cross faders you used a better more high quality ones. The old ones only had two set of rakes that slide on the board. But any other mixer uses four rakes. So I hope you upgraded those cause if not they will constantly fail.
Not that I have a problem with it cause more work for me but I feel bad for my dj friends that can't get help from you guys and always call me to fix them or upgrade them myself so they don't have issues while out spinning.
So true.
Now that the S4 MK3 has been out for some time, have they improved the crossfaders?
Yep, a dust causing fader glitching
@@Kwipper bought mine when it came out. Still feels like new. The mk1s I had both started glitching slightly, this one feels rock solid.
Просто шикардос! Native Instruments, молодчики, растут на глазах, не за горами день, переплюнут всех производителей,
Native Instruments - удобство, простота, надежность!!!
Oh my gosh when I was saving some money to buy an XDJRX2 to replace my S4 MK2 then MK3 has arrived. It is so advanced!!!! I think I'll wait a little bit more, try to sell the MK2 and... Buy the MK3!? Big shout from Brazil!!!
I can't wait to get my hands on this😊😊
This is so damn well designed! Love it!!!
*Legend device , bought it yesterday*
Congratulations! Can the Traktor s4 mk3 work without the AC adapter as well as the Traktor s4 mk2?
Thank you!
So did I. I think im going to upgrade my laptop now
Penoso.
Just ordered mine. Can. Not. Wait! 👍🏼
First of all, this is awesome and I´m really excitted to get one! But I also want to use it as an audio interface for my DAW (ex: Cubase 13). Regarding this type of use, I do have a couple questions: 1) Can I have 2 different pairs of speakers "speaking" at the same time, or do I have to choose A/B monitoring? - 2) If so, should I use both Main outputs (RCA and XLR), or it should be one pair of speakers on Main output and the second pair on the Booth output?
I've seen that the jog lights are red on start-up. It would be awesome if there is functionality to change the lighting for decks A-B, and C-D. The blue light is very distinctive, but the yellow not that much (as per my eyes, off course).
Really curious if this i s something that can be controlled.
Great video. Thanks
looks like something you might encounter during a dmt trip
?
been a vinyl dj for years, but have just ordered one of these so I can take advantage of the digital world and use vinyl with the dvs addon I ordered! Found a great deal on ebay now just waiting for them to arrive. More videos I see about this traktor controller, the more I am very excited! I am now a full native instruments artist as 90% of my production sounds are made with massive and sony acid pro to arrange everything! now I have the native instruments dj set up on the way too! just a bit of feedback, but to me the s8 looked awful with no jog wheels. it looks so difficult to use unless everything is already cued up and ready to go and not interested in scratching and worried if a track slips out of time how I adjust it, which is why I went with s4 mk3 as I am able to add technics with dvs and has adjustable jog wheels. would have been nice to see the strip for searching through tracks on there but hoping this s4 mk3 will be able to search through tracks well enough. I have 100% confidence with NI products..Soon as I have some more money, I will be ordering the latest massive.. looks amazing..i love native instruments products!
Great controller! As a long time Traktor user i would have bought it immediately if it were a full size version like the Pioneer DDJ- RZ/SZ.
And off-course i want to pay double the price too. Call it the traktor Kontrol SX. A Pioneer DDJ-Z sized controller but not with their huge jog-wheels. No, the S4 jog-wheel-size is fine. The Denon MCX8000 is another good example for perfect club size for those (like me) who don't want / need a backpack controller like the S4.
O
now thats a fuckin product demo, and what a product too. well done NI, well done.
EXCELLENT!!
Still the best controller in the game.
Just Wow!!!! Take my Money!!!!!
Do you guys have any ideas for making a new version of the X1?
I love the old X1. I have two, allowing me to easily manipulate all 4 channels! The layout of the X1 and all of the functionality and key combination shortcuts make it invaluable. A filter is the only thing it lacks, but everything else is easily accessible!
Hi Eric great overview will S4 work with Z2 mixer. I have the z2 and i"m looking at the s4 right now.
Why do the jog wheels dont spin after they got adjusted? Is there a possibility to reset the mechanism after adjusting them?
This thing is ALMOST perfect...
I wish we could use this without the software as a hardware mixer...just like the sx3... AND it would be awesome not to have to sacrfice one of the channels for a mic input or aux input. Additional dedicated inputs for that matter would be awesome.. last thing I really miss are two usb ports for seamless transitions between DJs.. Especially when considering the price.
At the moment Im thinking about getting either the s4 mk3 or the pioneer ddj sx3. I have turntables and already own serato and traktor equipment so I dont really care whether i can use one or the other software. Even tho video mixing is only possible with Serato DJ..its cool that you can use timecode vinyl right out the box with the s4 mk3... while you have to buy the dvs upgrade with the sx3, which adds to its already higher price.
The motorized platters and the smaller size of the s4 mk3 are the biggest plus points for the unit for me. The sx3 is a rather large controller.. but it also has various mic inputs, two usb cards and you can directly see on the jogwheels where you are in the track, which is especially helpfull when scratching. All in all I think I really wish the sx3 was smaller and had motorized platters^^
Can you help me with my decision youtube? :D
Almost perfect is pretty damn good! All the features you feel are missing could be provided by a small powered mixer for cheap. Just buy one and enjoy the S4. A little mixer is great to have in your DJ bag anyway! 👍🏽
@@TrNdke I have a selection of mixers, turntables and stuff at home, but I would not want to be lugging around an extra mixer with an all in one controller like the sx3 or the s4 mk3.
I still feel like they sacrficed some exact visual feedback on the jogwheels for track positioning in order to prop up the haptic feedback aspect. It better be super good^^
Hi guys if I wish to associate a DJ controller to Traktor Pro and associate also Maschine what controller would you suggest me? S4 or even S3 would be fine? Thank you!!!
had did ship to me yesterday and this thing is fkin awesome!
So my question is, his key layout format on this demo shows the key in letters eg F min. However I haven’t been able to find how to change the key format on my controller or software from eg 11m number format. Does anyone know how? Thanks
Excelente video
Cool!!!
Now if you guys can just make modular deck controls like the D2 with the screens built in but with these jogwheels. Oh and fx controls for all 4 decks as well lol. I would pay for that
half the world would
Thank you so much,
You always give good explanations. I love Native Instruments, I have maschine MK2, S4 MK2, D2 (2), F1(2), audio 10, I hope I could get a S4 MK3 and Maschine MK3 soon. By the way, when is NI going to make Z4? It would be wonderful if they add options to make effects for our voices ( for gingles ).
Best Regards
i have that plus the z2 that and the 2 d2s you have is the ultimate setup
Is the top of the jog wheels touch sensitive
Yeah. Capacitive touch sensitivity.
impressive, nice kit.
I'd like a software update to make posible difrent coloring of tracks just like Virtual DJ and a "sidelist" for automix.
Danke
Hallo an Allen,
ich habe folgende Anliegen:
ein externes Mischpult wird über line in an Traktor s4 mk3 angeschlossen.
Traktor bekommt auch Signal, der Ton ist da, allerdings fängt es an zu rauschen. es hört sich an Leerlauf geräusch, evtl an ein leichteres brummen.
Je höher der Pegel, desto lauter. wer könnte behilflich sein. Danke vorab.
I want to play visuals with traktor mostly videos live within traktor software is there any possibility.
perfect :-)
hey, with the samples decks how would I change and select different samples to play without having to use my laptop mouse pad? Is it done in the same way as the S4 mk3 by holding the pad below the sample and rotating the browse knob and volume/filter by using the loop or move knobs? Thanks
ps: my KONTROL is s2mk3
HAY NATIVE, i have big bug on my s4mk3. When im touching the jogwheel, it can stop a track like im chracing even if i lift my finger up and the track stay in place like im holding on to it... and one more, pitch faders. If i speed or slow a track, and afther that load a new track on that deck witgout moving back my pitch fader back to zero, my zero of the pitch fader will be the place where i left it form the previus track. I found that a bignpain in the ass and im shure u can fix it in updates, SO PLEASE do it. Its not a entry lvl piece of gear for 200e its almost 1000e. I mean that hurted my pocket, but i believe and love tracktor form day 1. 5years ago s2mk1 then s4mk2 and now mk3
Vielen Dank!
Amazing gear
Nice clipping there, lad.
Hey NI, I just got my brandnew S4. You removed the upcoming "standalone mixer" feature from the product comparison site (I read that it should come Q4 2018). Can we still hope for that feature for the S4 MK3? Thanks.
It will come. But we are not sure on the date yet.
@@ericgoldstein2051 Thats awesome. Really looking forward to this
if only you could use with iPad :(
#NativeInstruments #ForTheMusicInYou #TraktorKontrolS4 Nice video. A friend of mine is interested. As a non-DJ; I was just curious is there an extended warranty on this? I'm thinking torque on the motor, you know, "heavy mechanical use." How long is the warranty? I looked online and saw different answers.
Sold my ddj1000 very much regretted this, considering buying again now this has caught my attention. I am a long time vinyl dj anyone compare this vs the ddj1000 or sold the ddj1000 for this??
@Native Instruments , why did you not provide a filter active led light by each filter knob?
You can turn the mixer fx/filter on or off with the button under the knob. It glows yellow if it is turned on. If the knob is at 12 o'clock then filter is off anyway.
Hello Eric, how hard is it to pull off the knobs? I am 3D printing some that are florescent for black light. Are there plans to replace how its plugged in? Thats a huge plug. Lastly, looking for more tutorials on this as well as Traktor Pro 3. CHeers!
Hey Mr. Boneyard, the knobs are quite easy to pull off. The Plug will stay as is - you mean the PSU, right? It's the standard NI size for a power plug. Tutorials on Pro3 are in the making, from beginner guides to more quick and easy tips and tricks. Watch our Social Media spaces and youtube for updates! xoxo
Awesome but me and about 14,000 other users are waiting XDJ 1000 MK2 HID can u say anything about this feature coming ?
Great !!!!
Any plans for making the mixer fx’s to be post crosffader?! Will be awsome ! Thanks
MFX are already a post-fader.
Stevan Djumic
Nop...they not...when i close the crossfader the sound and the fx are muted
@@AsiCmusic they are indeed Post (Volume)-fader but not Post (Cross)fader.
yeah - i know ahi :) as i wrote - if they will be post -CrossFader ! it will be awesome !!
@@AsiCmusic send them a feature request...
Okay, but can you still hold SHIFT to "drop"/release the main filters? And what do I need to do to disable/enable Snap, since there is only a QUANT button?
Hold Shift+Quant Button = Snap. The drop release is not in there AFAIK . this is why you have the On/Off buttons below the knobs.
@@ericgoldstein2051 Thank you!
Hello! Can the Traktor s4 mk3 work without the AC adapter as well as the Traktor s4 mk2?
Thank you!
Hey Anatolii, the S4 MK3 needs the power supply.
Does anyone know if this controller will work with the current Traktor DJ iPad app?
it won't :/ no MFI chip in there. the new S2 will early next year.
Eric Goldstein thanks for letting me know! Will you be able to charge a mobile device with that port? Silly question I tried charging my iPhone/iPad and got no response.
@@chaseme I just tried my iPhone and it worked.
Will you ever make a stand alone controller?
That’s what I want!
The S4 is now standalone with the latest firmware update.
😱😱😍😍🔝
I want to know if the jogwheel speed change while moving the pitch
yeah. it beahves like a turntable and will change speed.
Is there a chance ti use The new Maschine Mikro mk3 togheter???
You can always use Link to get Maschine and Traktor synced up.
Eric Goldstein and we can use togheter??? Because i didn’t buy yet the maschine but i would like to use in both of Traktor S4 mk3, so if you are sure that i can use togheter i will plan to buy it.
Idk man TI is a good rapper but I don’t think he wanna start djing
Patrick de weer
That's what I do: Maschine and TRAKTOR together are a beast
Question: can I install Traktor Pro 3 DEMO version without uninstalling the Traktor Pro 2?
Yes
i need to save up for this and replace my mk2
What brand of speakers are those in the background?
Adam Speakers - Berlin based company.
Muy bueno
Can i use my iPad pro instead of my MacBook?
No it is for Mac or PC. You can't connect the S4 to a tablet. However, you can get a free Traktor app for iOS instead.
Why put the phono channel on the center deck?
So the ground for Both cables can be connected to the ground plug maybe?
Can i plug The Traktor X1 Mk2 and using togheter???
Yup
Yes. Its work perfekt ....
Looks awesome. But no midi in/ midi out ports? the previous controller did have some I believe. Any other way to use a drum machine with this controller?
virtual midi port via usb...
Whats the name of the song and artist playing in the background?
Hey, it's from the Maschine Expansion Carbon Decay. The Demo Prject is called Worm. I just recorded it and did a quick arrangement to have a track for the video. The Stems part is partly Fuse - Them.
@@ericgoldstein2051 thanks so much Eric, much appreciated
I Love the S4 MK3. Its perfekt for mobile Dj. But i have one question, when does it run with Traktor DJ 2. than the Kontroler is perfekt...... THX
Chris Barth it comes with Traktor pro 3
@@aspectinc you have not understand my question. The S4 MK3 runs perfekt with Traktor 3 but I will play with the software for the iPad ... the new small program: DJ2. It does run in the moment only with the S2 MK3 .....
Still in disbelief that you guys made moving platters but no exact visual feedback on the platters (with the light on the rim of the jogwheels really not being exact enough for exact scratching)
We are aware of this and there is a fix planned
Can we use the Cue button like on the S8...I mean on the S8 when you push the Cue button it starts to play and still holding it down and hitting the Play Button it plays continuously..
Of course. This is the standard since cdj200
Why are the speakers behind you
looks better in the video ;)
Do you need interface soundcard?
No as it had an awesome sounding 24 bit 96 kHz soundcard built in to control 4 stereo decks.
You’re not fooling me with that fake accent, Johnny Knoxville!!!!!!!
U
I have MK1
Please tell me the truth… are you guys at N.I. slowly abandoning the DJ department of your business???
Hi, why did NI make this controller so small? please make one for adults! and where are the 6" touch screens? instead of the tiny 1" pathetic display that's the same size as a 1985 casio watch!
the s4 is known for being portable (: great for bringing to shows without being a burden for space
Eric you have clubbing.
I can wait to get rid of my traktor. Ijs
Yet no spotify integration
