Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 Digital DJ Controller

The Traktor Kontrol S2 from Native Instruments brings the same components and functionality as the Kontrol S-4 to a more compact but none-the-less full featured package that includes everything you need to get going (except a computer!) right out of the box. Traktor Pro 2 is the industry standard software for digital DJing and the whole package allows you to do just about anything possible with decks and viynl at a tiny fraction of the total cost. Two highly sensetive jog wheels become your 'decks' allowing you to line up and cue incoming tracks as well as more creative work like scratching, while the mixer element performs the same functions you would find on a high end DJ mixer with 3 band EQ and volume faders for each channel and a cross fader to control mixing and scratching. There are four cue buttons linked to each channel that can also be used to trigger samples.
