Wielding dual high definition real-time display screens, the Traktor S8 delivers optimised visual monitoring by displaying wave visuals, BPM, time scales and track info and also providing the capability to access a range of effects and track library browsing with just a simple touch.
The high definition screens also features innovative smart views that allow you to monitor dynamic visual feedback such as the beatgrid view which instantly displays timing markers on the selected tracks wave image, to allow for syncing and editing.
The Traktor Kontrol S8 features rotary control knobs, touch sensitive panels and sixteen bright colour coded performance pads. The velocity-sensitive performance pads allow you to transform and manipulate tracks by assigning sliced segments, loops, hotcues and samples.
The freeze function on the Kontrol S8 allows you to take an audio snapshot of the current playing track which will then appear as a loop on a performance pad allowing you to loop and sample sections of audio on the fly.
With two sensitive touch strips located to the bottom of the performance pads on each side the S8 provides the ability to bend the pitch of the current track and even act as a vinyl scratch emulator to bring traditional elements of DJ'ing to this advanced contemporary DJ controller.
The incorporation of Traktor Mode buttons on every mixer channel allows you to toggle between Traktor and stand-alone mode giving you the option of integrating a range of analog and/or digital gear. The innovative wear resistant faders allow prolonged fader life due to the inversed carbon strips.
The Traktor Kontrol S8 features the most powerful audio interface ever to appear on a Traktor DJ Controller. With four analog inputs with both microphone and phono preamps, the S8 can be connected to turntables, CDJ and other equipment to expand this already powerful controller. The addition of XLR and RCA master outputs makes the S8 compatible with any sound system.
With the MIDI in/out connections, the Native Instruments Traktor S8 allows you to sync with synthesizers, drum machines, MASCHINE and external effects units. This adds further expansion potential to this already versatile professional DJ controller.
