#Traktor kontrol s3 software full

Dropping the full FX controls means this is more likely to appeal to beginner DJs.

People will debate whether it was wise for this unit to drop the FX controls above each deck, and whether the build quality looks up to the job (we’ll have to wait till our review to let you know about that) – but it makes sense and on paper should appeal to the segment of the market NI is going for. It fills the gap between the beginner-focused S2 Mk3 and the “serious” but appreciably more expensive S4 Mk3, costing US$649 – about US$300 more than the S2 and US$300 less than the S4. But the announcement of the Traktor Kontrol S3 – a brand-new model number in the Native Instruments controller range for Traktor, to sit alongside the S2 Mk3 and S4 Mk3 – has been greeted online with an unusual mixture of resignation and hostility (check out the YouTube video comments, for instance).Īt any other time and for any other manufacturer, it’d be fine: It’s basically a four-channel S2 Mk3 with a few welcome additions, such as booth and balanced outputs and the wise addition of an aux in. Normally a new controller from any company is greeted with positivity, at least by the brand’s fans.
