Kontrol S4mk2 -- Reliable for gigging ?

[nynemusic]

So i've narrowed it down to the S4mk2 for smaller gigs where i dont wanna lug around my TA10/Xone/X1's and Maschine.

I am used to NI gear, controller editor etc and am sure the S4 mk2 has tight integration with Traktor Pro, however i am new to the all-in-one game and have doubts about reliability as if one part fails, it all comes crashing down.

Guys if u have gigged regularly with an S4 mk2 ( or other 4 chan controller ), please advise as i will soon drop hard earned cash on one.....

Thanks

You could bring just the A10 and an X1 for smaller gigs where they have a mixer installed, and maybe a Z1 for when they don't?

Hi there.....i have to bring my gear everytime, no clubs here so they dont provide a mixer, Z1 wont cut it as i need 4 decks......though that would be very portable.

s4 is good for Gigging. I've seen it in plenty of clubs. I owned a VMS4, and used it many times, so you should be good.

Lots of complaining on the NI Forum however......the Vestax VCI 400 Ean Golden looks quite cool too.....

S4 MkI w/ MBP has been a champ

Both Zedd and Porter Robinson gig with an S4.

I have been playing almost every weekend over the last 3 years. First 2 with an VMS4 and the last with a DDJ SX and not once have I got any problems during those gigs. played some his only using a Z1 and X1 MKII. Have DJ friends that have been using S4 or S2 the MK 1 version and haven't heard any complains from them.
We all are using MBP's so that might be a factor for not failing.

Both Zedd and Porter Robinson have the same problems with the S4 as many other users too.
