Native Instruments is so well known for their high quality DJ equipment that they are a dominant industry player. The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S5 is a professional four-channel DJ controller, offering effortless control over the brand new STEMS format and the popular Remix Decks! The S5 is looking like the baby brother, as it is a stripped back version of the feature-heavy S8. Although there are less faders and knobs to play with on the S5, you make a saving with the lower price tag of £579. The S5 condenses and simplifies the browse/loop/deck controls significantly, which is a welcome improvement.

To accommodate touring DJs, a professional flightcase that doubles as an adjustable performance stand will also be available as an accessory for TRAKTOR KONTROL S4. Features like Macro FX and Flux Mode in the latest included Traktor Scratch Pro 2 software expand your creative arsenal. The new Traktor Kontrol S5 is everything that you need in a compact touch sensitive road - worthy format and more!

There are two 1/4inch main balanced outputs (one Left & one Right) for your monitors, two S/PDIF sockets, which allow you to use SONY or Phillips Proprietary cables for carrying digital sound signals and instructions, 2 balanced 1/4inch inputs and 2 balanced 1/4inch outputs for connecting additional mics, instruments and other hardware. TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 will be available for $799 / 799 € / ¥ 99,800 / £579 / $AU 1094 at the NI Online Shop and at local retailers on October 1, 2015.

STEMS is een audioformaat dat Native Instruments heeft geïntroduceerd en dat een track in vier delen opdeelt, bijvoorbeeld: drums, bas, melodie en vocalen. The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S5 is a portable and powerful 4 channel DJ controller which incorporates the innovative Native Instruments Stem technology to allow a whole new style of DJ mixing.

The S5 is also loaded with touch-sensitive controls that can instantly trigger pop-up views, panels, playback, and quick access to two customizable FX units with over 30 studio quality effects plus Macro FX. The touch strips on the S5 provide tactile control over track position, pitch bend, and more, all of which adds to the S5' touch-and-see workflow delivering a unique, multi-sensory DJ experience.

Also incorporating rotary control knobs, touch sensitive panels and sixteen bright colour coded performance pads to allow you to transform and manipulate tracks by assigning sliced segments, loops, hotcues and samples the Native Instruments S5 provides everything you could possibly need for live and studio dj'ing and much more making it a dream for experienced dj's.
