Do MORE With FOUR

Layer tracks. Go back-to-back. Hook up a mic and an MC. Keep a wildcard up your sleeve and drop it when the dance floor needs it: TRAKTOR KONTROL S3 has everything you need to DJ across four decks. Step up your sets, and play with total freedom.

From Scratches to Spinbacks
When it's time to get your mix on, there's plenty of jog wheel to go around. Touch-sensitive and super smooth, they're not just for nudging and stalling, but feel great for scratch workouts too. RGB light rings let you know which deck is playing at a glance, and warn you when you're almost out of track.

Four Deck DJing
If you've been DJing on two channels so far, doubling down on decks means way more freedom in your mix - like layering beats, firing off samples, or keeping a banger track parked on Deck C. Whether you're throwing in acapellas or love a double drop, four decks make it happen.
• Layer Beats - From blending drum parts to polyrhythmic excursions, layering drums is a sure-fire way to energize your sets, build soundscapes, and take the audience on a real trip.
• The Wildcard Track - Know a track that will set the roof on fire? Keep it loaded on your fourth deck, tease a short loop, then drop it when the time's right to set things off, or when you need some serious fire to bring a crowd back to the dancefloor.
• One-Shots and Loops - Blend percussion, acapellas, and soundscapes on the first three channels, with extra space for triggering samples and additional loops on the fourth - great for complex layering, or just for launching that one-shot with your DJ name.
• Acapellas - From hard chops to soulful vocal mixes ripped from a record store find, throw an acapella into the melting pot at peak-time for singalong re-edits the world will only hear once.
