However, they are quite difficult to use without dedicated controls, which are not present on most NI controllers. Traktor’s Remix and Stem technologies are unique selling points for its software. The S6 would obviously have to have a standard dual-mic aux input system to compete with the DDJ-1000. This has become a standard on high-end controllers in 2020. One of the biggest turnoffs for many mobile DJs about the S4 was its lack of a dedicated mic input. The addition of capacitive knobs would allow the displays to automatically show whatever parameter for remix, FX, or track control is currently being manipulated, like on the Kontrol S8. The hypothetical Kontrol S6 would boast larger screens more akin to those on the “jogless” line of NI controllers in addition to touch-capacitive knobs. They don’t even compare to the dynamic display system of the S5 and S8 controllers. The watch dial-sized screens of the S4 are a solid feature, but quite limited in their size. Improved Screens + Touch Capacitive Knobs If this tech was released in a full-sized model, many scratch DJs would choose it over the DDJ-1000.
However, the only instance of this technology is in the small, 5-inch jog wheels of the S4 Mk3. Traktor’s fantastic haptic jog wheel design provides magnetic tension adjust, haptic feedback when scratching cue points, and motorization. The S6 is a full-sized controller and is thus much larger than the S4, with larger pads, jog wheels, screens, and mixer. This is the most obvious part of the S6 concept. Lets dive into some of the highlighted features we’d hope to see in an S6 that would bring it on par with high-end controllers. The hypothetical Kontrol S6 would be similar in price and size to controllers such as the DDJ-1000, bringing haptic drive jog wheels, Traktor’s fantastic FX, and live-looping Remix Deck control into this range of the market. This concept, the Traktor Kontrol S6, aims to portray what a full-sized Traktor jog wheel controller would look like.

This is a major turn-off for many DJs (such as myself), who prefer the full size of a large controller. The Traktor lineup, however, lacks a heavyweight controller to compete with the DDJ-1000, NS7-III, and similar full-sized devices. Its haptic feedback, magnetically-tensioned, motorized jog wheels were a fantastic new feature that provide good scratch control even in such a small form factor. The Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 is a fantastic controller that provided serious competition with other, similar-sized controllers such as Pioneer DJ’s DDJ-SX3 and Denon DJ’s MC7000.
