Touch and See Workflow
TRAKTOR KONTROL S8’s features work together to set your creativity in motion – DJ workflow that is truly multisensory.
Touch-sensitive knobs respond to activate the Browse View, plus filter, pitch, and effect parameters on the displays – all without shifting focus to the laptop.
Responsive Hardware
Designed for enhanced DJ performance, TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 is the perfect fusion of hardware and software.
The S8’s touch-and-see workflow brings the industry-leading DJ software to life under your fingertips – and right before your eyes.
Access transport controls, cue points, and trigger loops or Remix Decks directly on the unit. Plug-and-play control of TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 means no mapping or control assignments necessary.
Next Generation Decks
Play different. TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO’s Effects, Remix Decks, and track browsing come to life on full color displays triggered by touch-sensitive controls. Two wide touch strips allow for pitch bending, track seeking, and vinyl scratch emulation.
Sixteen color-coded performance pads transform the decks into powerful live performance controls. Trigger Remix Set cells, slice up and rearrange in Freeze mode, tweak your loops, or improvise using hotcues – all within view, and within reach.
Versatile Mixer
Not the average mixing interface. TRAKTOR Mode buttons on every mixer channel toggle between TRAKTOR and stand-alone mode for integrating a wealth of analog and digital gear – perfect for use with TRAKTOR SCRATCH and seamless transitions between multiple setups.
The S8’s 4-channel mixer section features innovative wear-resistant faders. Under the hood, inversed carbon strips prevent nightclub wear from debris and drastically prolong fader life.
Audio Interface
The S8 offers the most comprehensive connectivity on a TRAKTOR controller yet. Four analog inputs with phono and mic preamps let you connect turntables, CDJs or other gear. Both XLR and RCA master outputs and ¼ inch booth outputs connect the TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 to any sound system imaginable.
24-bit/48kHz of built-in, pristine audio boosts output to levels designed for the most demanding situations. MIDI In and Out lets you sync TRAKTOR with synthesizers, drum computers, MASCHINE, or external effects.
Smart Views
TRAKTOR KONTROL S8’s smart views and pop-up panels deliver dynamic visual feedback that’s more than meets the eye. Browse your library, monitor effects, improvise on the fly, and more at the touch of a button – and directly within view.
Track Preparation
Keep your tracks ready for the mix. The Beatgrid view instantly shows your grids on the displays for editing in advance or on the fly.
Creative Performance
Trigger cue points and loops with color-coded pads for instant creative editing. The colors match the different hotcue types for easy recognition.
Live Capturing
Remix Decks’ hands-on workflow lets you capture loops from a running track in perfect sync and layer them for advanced track edits on the fly.
Improvising in Freeze
Take a snapshot from a running track using the Freeze Button. A loop appears on the deck display ready for you to slice up with the performance pads.
Enhanced Remix Deck Control
Activate Remix Decks directly from the S8 to see your Remix Sets in full view. Trigger sounds from the performance pads and mix them in with the deck faders.
