The TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 SCRATCH Upgrade Kit from Native Instruments allows registered owners of the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 hardware controller to purchase Trackor Scratch Pro 2 DJ software at a reduced price.

The software features two timecode vinyl records and timecode CDs and delivers all the professional features, flexible remixing tools and effects digital DJs have come to love. Tracktor Scratch Pro 2 features 4 virtual DJ decks capable of playing random audio files on your hard drive, or from your iTunes playlist.

Trackor Scratch Pro 2 ships with 40 original loops and 10 full tracks courtesy of Loopmasters' new DJ Mixtools series. Use the included loops or create your own, and drop them into the Sample Decks to create and remix custom tracks during a set. There are 32 internal effects for processing your audio files.

Tracktor Scratch Pro 2's interface is easy to use, and TruWave hi-res colored waveforms add the visual detail to compliment your audible mixes. Tracktor Scratch Pro 2 is an ideal choice for professional DJs, mobile DJs, touring DJs, remixers and more.

Note! This upgrade is registered owners of TRAKTOR KONTROL S4.

The Upgrade

Upgrade Kit for S4 users
Allows you to control pitch, scratching, and transport functions of the S4 via analog turntables or CDJs
Upgrade kit includes TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 software plus 2 timecode vinyls/2 CDs
Does not require the TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 interface, since you connect your turntables and CD decks to the S4 audio inputs

Optimized User Interface + TruWave

With an easy on the eye interface and the new TruWave hi-res colored waveforms, TRAKTOR software is now easier-to-use than ever
TruWave waveforms offer a whole new dimension to your mix
Differentiate between kicks, hi-hats and snares and anticipate your mix
Thanks to various zoom levels, set up tighter cue points than ever before
The overview of the whole track ("stripe") clearly displays the track's arrangement in full detail
New layouts, including Essential View for maximum ease-of-use when using TRAKTOR with external mixer and controller(s)

Sample Decks

With the innovative Sample Decks with four slots each, you can enter the world of live remixing and editing in ways unimaginable before
Grab and layer your own loops or use the included loop content. Create one-shot samples or use the included DJ Craze scratch sounds
Grab loops live out of a running deck, store your favorites in the loop library, and develop your own arsenal of beats and sounds
Layer up loops in perfect sync with the decks
PRO versions only: Tweak the volume and filter for each Sample Deck slot separately
PRO versions only: 2 different sizes for the Sample Decks; each of the 4 decks can be switched from track deck to Sample Deck and vice versa, on the fly

Included Loop Content

TRAKTOR 2 software includes amazing loops and sounds from in-demand sound providers for use with the new Sample Decks
40 original loops and 10 full tracks drawn from Loopmasters' new DJ Mixtools series, plus additional scratch sounds by DMC Champ DJ Craze
Drum, bass, percussion and synth loop in dubstep, minimal, house, techno and trance styles
Grab loops from any playing track in seconds, and save them in the loop library

New Effects

TRAKTOR PRO 2 adds 4 stunning, much-requested new effects, taking the total to 32, all syncing to track or master tempo
Tape Delay, Ramp Delay, Bouncer and Auto Bouncer join the arsenal of professional DJ effects, taking the potential for sound mangling to the extreme
With a multi-channel audio interface such as the TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 you can now use TRAKTOR effects as an independent send / receive effects unit

Loop Recorder

With the brand-new Loop Recorder in the PRO 2 versions of TRAKTOR, you can record live loops from any channel (single or multiple), the live input feeds, or the master output
Trigger the recording using a foot pedal, a DJ controller such as TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 or a keyboard hot key
Overdub on top of the running loop in real time, creating additional layers and heightening dramatic FX buildups and peaks
Works like a 5th deck. You can transfer the layered loop into a Sample Deck slot instantly, freeing up the Loop Recorder for further use

      Comments about Native Instruments TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 SCRATCH Upgrade Kit:

      I upgraded from Traktor Pro 2 (as I already had the NI Audio 10). Although it promotes itself as the 'S4' upgrade it works with various other audio boxes (check NI's website for more details). The product itself is stellar, the timecode is nearly dead on - I hardly even had to tweak it, kinda worked right out of the box. If you want tactile control over a digital sound, there is no classier way to go than DVS. Good luck and great spinnin'.

      Comments about Native Instruments TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 SCRATCH Upgrade Kit:

      After having done a few gigs with the S4, I was certainly having no problem mixing my collection of digital tracks...but having DJed for over 15 years with vinyl, I couldn't help but miss controlling my music via the wheels of steel.

      The Traktor Kontrol S4 Scratch Upgrade is a painless install, and the response between the time-coded vinyl and the CPU is as sharp as a knife. And now with the free Traktor 2.5 upgrade coming soon, there is no limit to the live mixing/remixing potential.

      To sweeten the deal, B&H offered the upgrade kit at a MUCH cheaper than the S4 Scratch Upgrades manufacturer's price. A no brainer purchase.
