There are definitely screens, pads, and a mixer. The pictures that were leaked on Amazon a few weeks ago have been shown to be pretty accurate, though we can’t speak to specifics since the video shows so little of the controller. We know that the internet, once again, has not lied to us. Needless to say, that part has me extremely excited.

I’ve been very critical of that integration over the years, but considering this release will probably be handled very similarly to the S4, we should be seeing features unique to Traktor Pro 3 (or whatever they’ll call it) tied to the S8, and then a full Traktor release sometime in the next 6 months. The hardware will be great, I’m sure, and hold up to NI’s already high standards for DJ gear, but their strength has always been their hooks in the software.

The piece of this story that has me the most excited is the piece we know nothing about: software integration. This is probably the beginning of a steady trend with NI gear, with the Maschine Studio and the Kontrol S keyboards, and it will probably be included in all of their equipment. And then, really, it’s just a big mixer with some awesome deck and remix deck controls and beautiful screens. While there are no jog wheels I can’t really see that being a huge issue, since I’m sure there’s an audio interface in there that will be Traktor Scratch Ready. It reminds me a lot of the ideas behind the Xone 4D, but taken to their logical conclusion, tied directly into Traktor. The hardware, judging from the leaked pictures, is pretty straight forward. I’d actually be interested in putting aside the laptop, but replacing it with a remote app on my iPad for at least a little extra screen real estate. We have spent some time playing with the Numark NV, and I have spent a lot of time in front of all-in-one controllers like the SCS4, so we know what is needed to really give up the laptop as a whole. The idea, though, is to get away from the laptop and focus on the gear. The video does show those screens in action, at least momentarily, and from what we can see they look great but we won’t be able to judge before they are in front of us. We don’t have a lot of official information to pass on, but combining this video with the leaked S8 images from Amazon we can at least piece together the core ideas. The sentiment of the release and the video is that the S8 will change everything (just like everything else). Empowering DJs to create their own signature style is what consistently fuels the TRAKTOR vision of digital DJing – and is the foundation of TRAKTOR KONTROL S8.
TRAKTOR DJing software and hardware have successfully merged elements of live improvisation and DJ performance – redefining what it means to DJ. Driven by this very spirit of creativity through innovation since first released in 2001, TRAKTOR again introduces inspiring new technology designed for the next generation of DJing. Since the advent of digital audio, new technology has been a driving force in stimulating creativity in DJs and has challenged the limitations of previous mediums – transforming the art of DJing at an accelerated pace.
Shot on location in Ibiza, a new video features high profile artists offering their first impressions of TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 and serves as an enticing preview of the cutting-edge DJ controller. Native Instruments reveals new TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 all-in-one DJ system New video shares a first look at the forthcoming state-of-the-art TRAKTOR controller featuring renowned artists’ first reactionsīerlin, Septem– Native Instruments today reveals its new flagship all-in-one DJ controller – TRAKTOR KONTROL S8. Unfortunately neither the video nor the press release provide us with any real information, but let’s just get to what they gave us. Unsurprisingly, they think it pretty much changes everything. NI hosted a private, exclusive party in Ibiza, for some reason not inviting us, to get opinions on the Kontrol S8 and how much of a game changer it is. It sparked a lot of discussion, ranging from excitement to vitriol, but that’s just how the internet works. A few weeks ago the DJ community got all worked up over some leaked images on an Amazon store of a new Native Instruments controller for Traktor called the Kontrol S8.
