Native InstrumentsTraktor Kontrol S2 Mk3 DJ Controller, Black (25421)

It arrived in immaculate condition. Everything was superb. I loved it. I tried to buy it from the official native instruments website, but it said the payment was unsuccessful and it couldn’t accept my money, lol whatever that means

Great quality and it’s work great

Excelente

I originally got this as sort of a backup/portable version of the S4MK3 I could use at home to do preparation and recording mini-mixes. I was not disappointed. The hardware build quality is great and it adpots a lot of features from its big brother while still being lightweight. I've used it on the road, when traveling, and even in one of the biggest clubs in Houston with no problems whatsoever.The jogs feel nice and have a good size to them. The crossfader could be better but I've been spoiled with the Z2 and S4MK3, and it does the job fine, even for some more advanced scratching routines. Output routing was a bit disappointing as there are no XLR/TRS outputs, but some small adaptors did the trick (RCA to XLR was crucial).The lack of FX control was a bit controversial, but to me it helped keep the size down, and I mapped Shift+knobs to control the dry/wet and an FX parameter like on the Z2. Once again, the hardware quality is amazing and way beyond what else you see in this class. Bottom line, this is a great controller at a great value, and has excellent build quality and a lot of cool features (the new mixer FX in particular is great). I would not hesitate to pick this up and I wish I had much sooner. As a Traktor user of 6+ years, I can't recommend this enough, even to owners of the S4MK3.

0/5 if I could. I took a chance buying this unit, I wanted it be good! I read all the negative issues on the Native Instrument help forums and thought, "an update or two and this unit will be solid." 2 Months and 7 days is how long mine lasted. I run an internet radio show and this device is my livelihood - I cannot stress enough, AVOID THIS PRODUCT. Go with something proven, something solid. Once Native Instruments replaces this unit, I'm buying something better, something Pioneer. This week's show, and the forseeable future, is cancelled because of this device, so if you must depend on your equipment, DO NOT DEPEND ON THIS DEVICE - YOU CANNOT DEPEND ON THIS DEVICE. You have been fairly warned!EDIT: I spent almost a week chasing down their support to help me and they never did. Thanks, Amazon, for refunding my money - When you call Native Instruments support it will say, "We are no longer providing phone support - use the Chat feature on the website." THERE IS NO CHAT FEATURE! Good luck getting anyone to care about your issue, this is the absolutely WORST experience with any piece of hardware or any company's support - I can't recommend anything Native Instruments.

Not the cheapest option on the market and the build quality feels a little on the light side (i.e. cheap) but the bundled software makes up for it (especially if you use a DAW).

I love it much more than the Mk3 S4 that I used. Good earphones plug, easy connect to internet. Only minus is I must use an external audio device in order to use the MK3 S2 but it was like that with the previous as well. Love it!

On Native Instrument's website, there is a manual you can tell you, which tells you everything you are supposed to get for what you pay (one of those things should be a quick set up). Here is that list:What Is Included in the Box?The TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 box contains the following items:▪ The TRAKTOR KONTROL S2▪ A power supply▪ A USB cable▪ A Native Instruments iOS cable▪ A registration flyer with your TRAKTOR PRO 2 software serial number, your TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 hardware serial number, and a link to the hardware registration page, where you can register your hardware and download the TRAKTOR software▪ A safety instructions flyerIn my box I got: the controller, a UBS cable, and a copy of Traktor 2.0 with registration numberIn theory, this should be enough. But, after I go into Traktor and set up my preferences for the controller, there's no internal memory of what button controls what. So either I have to program the controller to every function in the software (which I have been working at, but this is tedious and I didn't have to buy a Traktor controller to work in Traktor then) or download a premade control set up online and learn how that user decided to set up their controller.The main reason I invested in this controller was user friendliness and it has been not at all the experience I thought it would be.
