Traktor Kontrol S3 4-Channel DJ Controller

If you've been DJing on two channels so far, doubling down on decks means way more freedom in your mix – like layering beats, firing off samples, or keeping a banger track parked on Deck C. Whether you're throwing in acapellas or love a double drop, four decks make it happen.

At the heart of the TRAKTOR KONTROL S3 is the four-channel mixer, with full-length faders, EQ, cueing, and Mixer FX one-touch effects on each channel to shape your sound. Juggle Hotcues, samples, and loops with eight RGB pads on each deck, then switch decks and keep on-track with the jog wheel light rings. The touch-sensitive and super smooth jog wheels are not just for nudging and stalling, but feel great for scratch workouts too. RGB light rings let you know which deck is playing at a glance, and warn you when you're almost out of track.

Fire off samples, loop drum patterns, chop in vocal cuts, or even work your own productions into the mix if that's your thing. Loop any part of a track and assign it to a pad, or skip to any part of your track using hotcues. TRAKTOR PRO's beat sync means you'll never lose the groove. Cut the kick and open a reverb, or chop things up with a dotted delay – Mixer FX are one-touch effects on each channel, great for building energy, shaping your sound, or just going wild. Choose from eight effects and three filters, and assign them to the dedicated slots on the mixer for quick access.

TRAKTOR KONTROL S3 comes paired with the full version of TRAKTOR PRO 3 – packed with expressive features and re-edit tools for truly unique, performative mixing. Grab a portable speaker and an iPad to take your S3 on the road with TRAKTOR DJ 2 – mix with two channels on a streamlined interface with SoundCloud Go plus integration.

Set up and spin with punchy, pro-grade XLR and RCA inputs and outputs with a huge dynamic range, as well as a ¼" TRS booth output, and 3.5 / 6.3 mm headphone outputs. For hooking up a vocalist or MC, there's a dedicated combo XLR input on board, as well as an additional RCA input for mixing with external audio.
