Meh to both of them IMO very over priced.

S2 or S4 come with full version of the Traktor software

I looked and it says Traktor İncluded.Maybe a different version of Traktor in it.

The T1 and S1 are very similar, the biggest difference is the software they’re designed to support. Choosing between them, you only need to know if you prefer the Traktor or the Itch workflow. T1 comes with Traktor Manufacturer Edition, which has all the features that have dedicated controls on the controller, but it’s not quite the same as Pro, check the NI site for a detailed comparison.

By comparison, the T1 is more a (low-end) CDJ+mixer replacement than the sample/loops oriented S4. If you’re considering the T1, have a look at the upcoming Numark 4Trak - and if you like the S1, look at the NS6. If you’re fine with the small jogs and short pitch faders, and want good loop recorder/sample deck integration, get the S4. :slight_smile:

I’ve had an S4 and now I have a DDJ-S1 and it’s awesome. It is as close to the same workflow as playing on two CDJ’s and a DJM mixer. The soundcard on the DDJ is also very similar to that crisp sound that comes from CDJ’s. I can’t say enough good things about the DDJ-S1. Also with the SP6 sampler I have virtual decks so I don’t have the need for extra decks. Would be nice, but not really needed.

I would never get the T1. Pioneer designed this controller for Traktor before Traktor 2 came out so the left out controls for many of the new features. It is already an out dated controller. If I liked Traktor I would us the S4.
