Also gone are the S8’s second round of encoders. Instead, those map to the encoders on the top. So, what do you give up on the S5 versus the S8, as far as controls? Well, the main space saving feature here is that you don’t have the four dedicated vertical faders on each deck for controlling volume of Stems Decks and Remix Decks. But it is a lot smaller, and I quite like it in hybrid setups – though that’s another story.ĭepth: 32.2 cm, Height: 6,6 cm, Width: 50 cm, Weight: 3.7kgĭepth: 33.8 cm, Height: 7.2 cm, Width: 50 cm, Weight: 3.4 kgĭepth: 37.8cm, Height: 6.6cm, Width: 19.6 cm, Weight: 1.5kgĭepth: 38.7 cm, Height: 6.6 cm, Width: 58.5 cm, Weight: 5 kg There’s no comparison to the all-in-ones: you need some other gear for a mix control surface, it’s not an audio interface, and you have to swap between decks yourself. I have been playing around with just a D2. In fact, the S5 is so close to the S4, they both share NI’s own flight case. But what it is is a piece of hardware that does the vast majority of what you need from the S8, in a narrower and lighter package. I wouldn’t describe the S5 as “mobile,” exactly – you’re going to need to ask for some space on your tech rider to fit this in. The closest equivalent to the S5 is the S4 – it’s slightly heavier, and slightly shorter. I actually consulted with NI on this to get the stats. It’s got mixing controls – quite a lot of them, in fact.Īnd it has direct access pads, knobs, and triggers, for use with effects and loops and so on, or if you’re a fan of such things, Stems and Remix Decks. It’s got a built-in audio interface (even with some basic input). It’s got touch strips – no wheels, if you like such things, but at least something that lets you cue manually. But in that space, you get the stuff you’ve probably envied on the bigger Traktor controllers (the S8, and its one-deck-at-a-time counterpart the D2). It’s roughly the size of the S4 – the two-wheel controller that was once flagship of the Traktor line. So, without much fanfare, NI last week gave us the S5. It’s also expensive and hard to parallel park. The Trade Desk stores the data anonymously.The Traktor Kontrol S8 from Native Instruments is, let’s face it, the Cadillac Escalade of DJ gear.
