The new Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 is the latest flagship controller for the new Traktor Pro 3 software.
The Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 has the new haptic direct drive jog wheels that actually spin while the track is playing. They also have small screens above the pads to show important track information.
The S4 MK3 also has the new mixer effects section and better RBG backlit performance pads than the last version
