First Look: Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 Controller

We had a chance to take Native Instruments' latest four-channel Traktor Pro 3 controller for a spin.

Here’s an inside scoop for you – we’ve got a first look at the Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 controller that just launched, from the Native Instruments HQ in Berlin.

It looks similar to the first two Kontrol S4 controllers, but this time it’s got motorised jogwheels that are sleek and remarkably silent. It’s also got a new Mixer FX section that sits beside the mixer, eight RGB performance pads per deck and an overhauled look that screams bold, minimalist chic.

Of course we’ll be bringing you our full in-depth review soon, but watch our hands-on first look above to tide you over until then. Also check out the promo video and photo gallery below.
