ALL IN THE MIX
Built to professional club standards, the S4 mixer section is made up of four stereo channels, 3-band EQs, a filter knob, gain and two FX sends per channel. Two analog stereo inputs and the additional auxiliary session input allow the S4 to connect to external gear. Switchable booth output allows for separate speaker and booth monitoring levels.
The super smooth crossfader comes with dust covers and is replaceable. Its sharpness curve can be adjusted via the software to fit your mixing style.
MASTER SECTION
Here you’ll find the main level output, and one push encoder for browsing playlists and loading tracks, samples, or loops.
The Snap button ensures cue points and loops sound tight by snapping to the nearest point of the track beatgrid. The Quant button means they’ll play quantized in perfect phase-sync by launching in time, at the right moment. The Master button switches between Master Clock and Master Deck Mode.
GAIN AND FX ASSIGN
The encoders serve as gain controls for individual decks in TRAKTOR. FX assign buttons route audio to two effect sections per channel.
The Master Level knob in the center adjusts the master output volume.
LOOP RECORDER
Record loops on-the-fly from any channel (single or multiple), or capture audio live from the mic input or master output. Then layer and overdub loops on top of one another to build live mixes. Even connect a footswitch (optional) to trigger recording and overdubbing, keeping your hands free for additional tweaking.
Got a killer loop going? Instantly transfer it to a Remix Deck slot, freeing up the Loop Recorder for further use.
FANTASTIC FADERS
All faders have special path limiters to ensure zero dead zone at their boundaries – giving a sharp cutting attack. Their lasting, rugged quality continually excels in even the most demanding of gig schedules. Included fader covers now help prevent dust wear.
