With 2 hi-res screens and touch-sensitive strips, knobs and pads, the Traktor Kontrol S5 gives you control over Traktor Pro 2 DJ software and Stems remixes.

The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S5 DJ Controller offers everything the mobile DJ needs in an intuitive, portable package. It's also the logical next step for anyone looking to upgrade their Traktor Kontrol S4, S2, or other comparable USB DJ mixer. Thanks to its compact design, this expanded and upgraded Stem-ready DJ controller is ready to get the dance floor moving.

Super Portable

The Traktor S5 is a next-gen USB DJ controller designed with mobility in mind. With a form factor just a bit smaller than the Traktor Kontrol S4, it's even more portable than its predecessor and should fit in the same workspace or any case that used to carry an S4.

Refined Design

With the Traktor Kontrol S5, Native Instruments has done away with the traditional jog wheels in favor of a touch-sensitive ribbon strip for scratch and needle drop simulation. The removal of the jog wheels also provides ample real estate for high resolution color displays, allowing you to focus on the controller instead of needing to look over to your computer screen. The new design also includes Stem-ready remix decks and more intuitive controls like touch-sensitive control knobs and sample pads.

Stem-Ready

Stems are the future of DJing. Traditional digital audio files condense all instrument parts into a single mix, preventing the end user from easily extracting the individual instrument parts, and making remixing a challenge -- necessitating filters or other gimmicks to be used when breaking down a read more song into its individual instruments. Thankfully, Native Instruments has introduced a new file format, Stems. Stems are a four-track audio format designed with DJs in mind, intended to provide the DJs with unique audio streams for the percussion, bass, vocals, and melody. With Stems, isolating vocals, extracting a bass line, or feeding drum beats into the slicer is as simple as the press of a button. More artists are getting on the Stems bandwagon every day so there's plenty of pro-grade remix sets to choose from, in addition to tons of free sample packs available direct from Native Instruments.

TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 delivers essential control for Stems. Create instant on-the-fly edits, mash-ups, acappellas, and more with hands-on creative control. And get detailed with your effects -- add reverb to the vocals, and leave the rest of the track dry, for example.
