Traktor Kontrol S2

The all new Traktor Kontrol S2 is right around the corner!

(release date - 4th October)

A smaller and more portable creative weapon, designed on the widely popular Kontrol S4.

Native Instruments has yet again upped it game! 

The Kontrol S2 Hardware Features :

- 2 Decks + Mixer (3 channels)

- A Multi-effects Unit

- Includes Traktor Pro 2 Software 

- Backlit Buttons & Sturdy Knobs 

- Pitch Fader

- 8 Sample Decks

- 8 Cue Buttons 

- 2 Separate Audio Channels

GOOD:

- Simple and portable, maintaining the critical creative features from the Kontrol S4

- Can run on the USB power supply alone

- Clear and simple layout for easier looping and sampling and cueing tracks

BAD:

- No filter knob integrated with the built-in mixer                  

- Not much connectivity compared with its sister the S4

- Less control over the effects commanding units 3 & 4

OVERALL ...

Overall my general perception of approaching "S2"is good. It provides a clear a straight forward approach to DJ-ing, whilst upholding many other professional features. At a price of $599, including Traktor Pro 2 digital dj software, it looks like a difficult bundle to beat for dj's looking for a decent controller without all the complicated bits! No doubt you will not 

regret buying this, stay tune for more upcoming
