![]() ![]() Well, they are exactly that, just “tops”. So, about those shiny new aluminium jogwheel tops. This daylight-dimness is more than made up for by the spaceship-meets-70s dancefloor appearance you get in the dark, which combined with the new aluminium jogwheel tops gives a really attractive look. ![]() On USB power you simply cannot see the lights in bright daylight, but they’re just about acceptable once hooked up to the power source (which incidentally is a different power rating to the previous S4, so if you’re upgrading, your old power supply is useless). These feel tactile, responsive and infinitely more playable. This playability is especially relevant when you take control of the loop slice mode in Traktor DJ with your iPad or iPhone and start to use these buttons to chop up tracks – they are so much better than before. The new RGB buttons for the transport and cue controls are a huge improvement on the Mk1, with a smooth rubberised “MPC” feel to the surface (and the elimination of the previous problem of the buttons getting stuck in the down position, getting caught on the edge of the button aperture when pressed hard). Previous reviews of the S4 have covered its features and performance extensively, so here we’re going to concentrate on what’s new, and where the successes and failures lie in this upgrade: The S4 Mk2 comes with a full version of Traktor Pro 2 (as before) and although it’s now mapped to work out of the box with Traktor DJ, the fact that the S4 retains the identical casing assembly as its predecessor means that there’s no iPad or iPhone stand, slot or docking station, leaving you to figure that one out for yourself (or wait for the inevitable Traktor-branded iOS stand as an accessory). Little touches like the slimmer fader caps and grey filter knobs in tandem with the RGB buttons and aluminium jogwheel tops have combined to give the S4 a fresh, modern look. Make sure that you are using the right components in order to connect your S2 MK2 to the iOS device as explained in the article How to Connect your NI Controller / Audio Interface to an iOS Device.First Impressions / Setting up New, slimmer fader caps for the track volumes, crossfader and tempo adjust contribute to the sleeker more streamlined look of the S4.If you are experiencing problems with your S2 MK2 in TRAKTOR DJ, or if your S2 MK2 is not being recognized by the iOS device, please verify the following: Note: Only the S2 MK2 model offers integration with TRAKTOR DJ on an iOS device. ![]() Using TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 MK2 with TRAKTOR DJ on iOS The knobs MAIN, CUE and LEVEL do not work.The alert triangle on the controller is flashing.The Jogwheels are loose or unresponsive.S2 MK1 only: If your controller is not being recognized by your OS X 10.10 (or higher) system, read this article.įor all other issues with your TRAKTOR KONTROL S2, please view the articles below:.If you are unable to locate the S2 MK3 ASIO driver for Windows systems, refer to this article.If your TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 is not lighting up or is not recognized by your computer, please read this hardware troubleshooting guide.If your S2 is not recognized in the TRAKTOR software, read this article.*The S2 MK3 requires macOS 10.12 or higher or Windows 10. ![]() View the pictures below to identify your model.
