12/16/2023 0 Comments Traktor kontrol s4 mk2![]() ![]() Included in the S4 is also a deck swap button for each channel, allowing you to swap decks A with C, and B with D. There is also the same large On Air and Master display from the original S4, not to mention that same bright LED readout for your Loop and move lengths. The Effects sections have a Mode switch button, but you still can’t directly switch which bank the effects are controlling (more on this later). Instead of Reset being a shift function under the Flux button near the pitch fader it is a separate button next to Flux, and there is a Load button above each jog wheel instead of needing to use the Cue buttons when in Browse mode. The center panel has a Quant and Snap button right under the Browse knob, as well as a Master Clock button for swapping Auto and Master settings. Each channel has a chunky Filter knob, but still includes an endless single-function clicking push encoder for the Gain at the top. Instead of certain functions being hidden behind shift layers, the S4 presents them right on the face. The center section of the mixer is a little larger as well, allowing for full Loop Recorder control, as opposed to a knob and two buttons on the S2. The extra two channels are well spaced, and all the controls feel just as secure. You will require a larger bag to carry it as it won’t fit in most average sized laptop bags like the S2, but it should fit in most booths and is just as sturdy for transport from gig to gig. The Kontrol S4 MK2 is a reasonably sized 4 channel controller, more akin to the G4V and Studio 4a in size than the mammoth controllers we’ve been seeing recently. The Kontrol S4 MK2 does differentiate itself, though, even beyond the extra two channel strips. They are also both integrated directly into Traktor DJ for tactile control of the award-winning mobile platform. The core features of these products, namely the LEDs, jog wheels, knobs, faders, buttons and overall design are pretty much identical. If not, go back and read that one first, since these controllers are so similar in design, form and function that I don’t want to waste too many words covering the same things. Hopefully you’re finding your way here from our exhaustive Kontrol S2 MK2 review.
