SPECIFICATIONS
Since the Kontrol S2 is a simplified version of the Kontrol S2, various characteristics make this controller the best choice for digital DJs who don’t want to spend € 859 or more for the most professional Traktor controller and still need a reliable and ultra-user-friendly midi controller.
The Traktor Kontrol S2 will soon become the best sold professional Traktor controller in this price category we reckon!
Specifications:
- Based on the popular S4
- Designed for use with Traktor Pro 2
- 2-channel mixer
- Touch-sensitive jog wheels
- Robust knobs
- Smooth faders
- Connection of external peripherals (microphone, CD player)
- Robust construction
- Transparent design
- Options and features easy to operate and reach
- Perfect overlap with Traktor functions[/quote]
Seems like a lot of money for something that brings nothing new to the table imo
very meh, was worried they’d come out with something to rival my shiny new twitch but it seems to be basically a mixtrack pro with NI on it. I’m sure it’ll be very good for beginners and those who like to keep it simple though. Nice that there’s now a fully featured NI controller that will fit in a rucksack.
i think ni has got some more stuff up their sleeves. like always. kontrol s2 looks good so far

i heard it´s gonna be mind blowing 
Well, like most said here, nothing very interesting here. I’m sure it will hurt a bit on the sales of the s4 tho.
It’s crazy how much simpler this looks when all it’s missing is 2 channels, filter knobs, and sample deck buttons. If it’s gonna be around $600 this will be a great piece of kit for the price.
no filter knobs is a dumb omission if you ask me.
That’d disappointing.
Good to hear that the S2 rumor came true… now let’s see that X2!
Id rather buy a twitch and a $100 worth of tracks for that money…
haha i think that is some good photoshop edit of the s4.. i dont think NI would go with that.. we will see..
in the pic with traktor pro 2 software there are sample decks active i think it is the picture from s4 just photoshop cutted the decks and filters..
pictures and info is legit
God damnit
no filter knobs? total fail…
+1 didn’t know what I was missing out on until I had them at my fingertips.
