New Traktor Kontrol S4 mk2 & Traktor Kontrol S2 mk2 Announced !!! [ Might Available in November/December 2013 ]

New Traktor Kontrol S4 mk2 & Traktor Kontrol S2 mk2 Announced !!! [ Might Available in November/December 2013 ]


The Traktor Kontrol S4 and Traktor Kontrol S2 DJ controllers have been revised and updated, Native Instruments announced today.

The “Mark 2″ models of the Kontrol S2 and Kontrol S4 now have Traktor DJ iOS software compatibility, improved jogwheels, RGB buttons, and Flux mode, among other improvements.

The Traktor Kontrol S4 finally gets a booth output, and also features redesigned, chunkier filter knobs.

While both units now being mapped to work out of the box with Traktor DJ, they retain the exact same form factor as their predecessors; for instance, there is no type of iOS device stand or slot as with other iOS/friendly DJ controllers; you’re on your own working out how best to mount your iPad (or iPhone) to use with these.

As before, both come with a full version of Traktor Pro 2.

First thoughts
Like the also just-announced iPhone 5S, here we have some technology that apart from a few cosmetic changes, is striking first and foremost for looking pretty much the same as the last versions.

Those who were expecting a bold statement of intent (perhaps the dropping of jogwheels completely, for instance) may have felt initial disappointment – although those new aluminium jogwheels do look nice!

But under the skin, it’s the subtle changes point to what direction we’re headed in here.

The main point is that as the only all-in-one controllers capable of controlling the late-to-the-party but dominant Traktor DJ iOS software, the new S2 and S4 (and especially the Kontrol S2) put a stamp of authenticity on iOS DJing, in the same way (rightly or wrongly) that Pioneer was judged to have put the stamp of authenticity on laptop DJing when it waded late into the controller market.

With a Kontrol S2, an iPad and a copy of Traktor DJ, there is now a professional, single-name hardware/software combination for iOS for the very first time. (The jury’s out on the iPhone in this analogy, granted.)

The other improvements count, too: Flux mode is a big one, and of course the catch-up Booth control on the S4 corrects a silly original omission – although bizarrely, while on the S2 the booth is switchable on the RCAs, on the S4 it appears to be on the TRS outputs.

Adding a level of control over the Remix Decks is definitely a sweetener for those who fancy trying them but don’t want to invest in a Kontrol F1. I think it’s fair to say that the Remix Deck idea has yet to find its feet in the wider DJ community, and this won’t hurt its adoption.

Should you upgrade though? If you’re not interested in using an iOS device, and either already have a Kontrol F1 already or don’t want to use Remix decks at all, there’s not much to swing you over into getting an upgrade here. The original S2 and S4 proved themselves as roadworthy stalwarts, and here we have iteration, rather than revolution.

However, if you buy into the idea that you can DJ from laptop, iPad or iPhone depending on the occasion, and if the S2 (in particular) turns out to be as fun as I suspect it will be to DJ with using the iPad, these are certainly worth your consideration.

And if you’ve been holding out for an upgrade, the Flux mode, RGB buttons for control of the Remix decks, and (in the case of the S4) arrival of a booth output should tick a few of your objection boxes. Time to sdave the pennies, though, as neither is what could be called cheap, especially of you have the misfortune of living outside of the US.

NEW: Pioneer DDJ-SR Digital DJ Controller [ Coming this October / November 2013 ]

NEW: Pioneer DDJ-SR Digital DJ Controller [ Coming this October / November 2013 ]


Price will be announce soon : )

16 Performance Pads provide HOT CUE, ROLL, SLICER and SAMPLER functions
New PAD PLUS provide HOT CUE ROLL, TRANS, COMBO FX, and SAMPLER ROLL
Large Jog Wheels for precise scratching and mixing capabilities
Built-in 2-Channel Mixer with crossfader reverse is ideal for scratch

OVERVIEW
Pioneer’s DDJ-SR 2-channel DJ controller is designed for use with Serato® DJ software. The smaller and more compact DDJ-SR inherits many of the same functions and controls of the larger DDJ-SX introduced in 2012, offering large aluminum jog wheels, integrated performance pads, and a new PAD PLUS feature that adds four additional audio effects to the performance pads..

MIXING WITH SERATO
The DDJ-SR takes advantage of Serato DJ’s full capability, ensuring its layout of knobs and buttons are exceptionally easy-to-use with the software.

Performance Pads – Large rubber “performance pads” located below the big jog wheel provide HOT CUE, ROLL, SLICER and SAMPLER functions. Each soft-touch rubber pad illuminates in blue to enable users to tap the pad(s) quickly for each effect, with the output volume varying depending on the strength of each tap.

PAD PLUS – By activating the new PAD PLUS button, the functions of the performance pads are transformed, converting the four function buttons into HOT CUE ROLL, TRANS, COMBO FX and SAMPLER ROLL. This enables DJs to trigger multiple FX with one button, and automatically sync samples and Hot Cues to the beat. The DDJ-SR also features a Beat Indicator which gives a visual representation of the beat.

HOT CUE ROLL/SAMPLER ROLL - Launch Hot Cues and Samples that are automatically synced to the BPM.
COMBO FX – Simultaneously trigger and modulate multiple effects and filters with one pad.
TRANS – Cut the volume of FX in and out at pre-set intervals.

Big Jog Wheels – The DDJ-SR features two large jog wheels for precise scratching and mixing capabilities. The resistance for each jog wheel was fined tuned to provide users with the best “feel” and the shortest latency.

2-Channel Mixer – The built-in 2-channel mixer on the DDJ-SR is ideal for scratch performances. The mixer can also be used with four decks using the “deck select” buttons located on each side of the controller. In addition, the unit features a “Cross Fader Reverse” switch to enable the left and right decks to be controlled from opposite sides.

High-end Design – The DDJ-SR sports a steel top panel and an aluminum jog plate for a more elegant and stylish look and feel.

Serato DJ Software – A free-of-charge download of Serato DJ software is included with the purchase of a DDJ-SR for an easy out-of-the-box experience.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

USB Power – The controller can be powered through the USB connection to a laptop1.
Built-in Sound Card (audio interface) – Simple connection to a laptop with a single USB cable.
Adjustable Cross-fader Curve – Suits any mixing style.
Channel Fader Start – Enables the use of the channel fader to control and play/cue tracks.
Integrated Handles – The controller features grip handles on each side for added convenience.

A difference you will hear.
From the mic preamps to the AD/DA converters and the clocking, Duet is best-in-class and cutting-edge Apogee technology. With components carefully selected in critical listening tests and a highly efficient circuit design, Duet was built by Apogee engineers to make a difference you can hear.

Pristine, next generation AD/DA converters
Duet’s AD/DA converters are designed to deliver the purest recordings and best listening experience possible. Duet’s efficient circuitry and state-of-the-art components provide a simplified signal path resulting in incredibly transparent recordings.

Smooth, detailed world-class mic preamps
Much like the AD/DA converters, Duet’s mic preamps feature the latest components and offer seamless click-free transitions as the gain increases and decreases throughout the incredible range of 0-75dB. This unprecedented feature allows you to dial in the perfect level, either with the controller knob or from within software, while delivering ultra-low noise and smooth, crisp detail. Duet’s mic pres are suitable for all dynamic, condenser or ribbon microphones, allowing you to capture any sound without compromise.

Soft Limit
Soft Limit for protection from digital overs
An Apogee technology first introduced in 1992 on Apogee’s AD-500 converter, Soft Limit can be heard on countless platinum selling records around the world. Once a technology exclusively reserved for Apogee’s most advanced audio converters, Soft Limit is included in Duet and can be enabled in Apogee Maestro software.

This superior analog design prevents the digital clipping that causes distortion by instantaneously rounding off transient peaks before they hit the analog-to-digital converter. Soft Limit allows several more decibels of apparent level to be recorded while subtly providing an analog-like warmth to the sound.

Apple’s iPad is an incredible audio recording and music creation tool. Starting at $399, it is by far the most accessible, reliable and dynamic way to make music.

iPad puts you in touch with your creativity
Interacting with iPad to make music is like playing an instrument. In fact, some apps like Apple’s GarageBand turn your iPad into a guitar or virtual instrument. Whether you are moving faders on a mixer, adjusting software parameters, or editing a waveform, iPad’s multi-touch interface is a more hands on environment and superior to mouse clicks or track pad swipes.

There’s a music app for everything
There are hundreds of music apps for iOS and iPad. With multi-track recording DAWs like GarageBand and Auria, synths and drum machines like Animoog and DM1, utilities and guitar effects like Audiobus and JamUp Pro, the music creation offering for iPad is vast and varied. And most apps are more affordable than their Mac based counterparts.

Setting up your studio has never been easier
iPad makes everything easier with a simplified user interface and plug and play connectivity for accessories like Apogee audio interfaces. You’ll be amazed by how simple it is to set up your studio.

Share your music
Sharing functionality is built-in to most apps, making it easier then ever to move files and collaborate on different devices including iPad to Mac.

Apogee pioneered studio-quality recording on iPad with JAM, the first digital guitar input and MiC the first professional digital microphone for iPad. JAM was featured in Apple’s iPad 2, GarageBand launch video. Now with ONE, Duet and Quartet, Apogee is the first to introduce professional multi-track recording interfaces to the world of iPad and iOS. These products complete this amazing platform by offering musicians, producers and engineers professional tools for music recording, production and listening.

Superior sound quality
For almost 30 years, Apogee has been setting the standard in digital audio recording technology with award-winning products.

Maestro control software for iOS
Apogee ONE, Duet and Quartet are the first audio interfaces to feature software control made for iPad and iOS devices. Apogee’s Maestro lets you access all hardware parameters and monitor with a low latency mixer.

Direct digital connection to iPad
Apogee ONE, Duet and Quartet for iPad and Mac feature special circuitry that makes a direct digital connection to iPad and iOS devices* and is certified by Apple’s MFi (Made for iOS) program.

*Connection to iOS devices with a Lightning port requires the
Lightning to 30-pin Adapter.

DC power charges iPad
In audio, adequate power is essential for excellent sound quality. With a direct digital connection and an external power source, ONE, Duet and Quartet are able to charge your iPad while you record so your work will not be interrupted.

Breakout Cable
Duet’s breakout cable includes 2 combination mic/instrument connectors (XLR and 1/4” built into a single connector) and 2 balanced 1/4” connectors for speakers. The elegant single cable-to-junction design allows for easy cable management and the locking connection to Duet is robust and stylish.

2 Analog Inputs
Duet’s 2 combination input connectors (XLR and 1/4”) allow you to connect microphones, guitars and keyboards or your favorite external mic preamps, compressors and EQs.

4 Analog Outputs
Duet includes 4 analog outputs. 2 1/4” balanced outputs for connection to speakers or outboard equipment and a separate, independently controlled 1/4” stereo headphone output.

With these 4 outputs it’s possible for a DJ to monitor a separate mix in headphones while sending a house mix to the club, a live performer to send a click track to in-ear monitors while sending a backing track to front-of-house, and a recording engineer to send a headphone mix to the performer while dedicating the main outputs to studio monitors.

MIDI
Duet provides a single USB MIDI connection for your CoreMIDI compatible keyboard, synth, or DJ controller. This eliminates the need for an external MIDI interface and promotes an all-in-one music creation solution where Duet and Maestro manage all audio and MIDI. On iPad, Duet’s MIDI connection allows both Duet and a keyboard or DJ controller to be connected at the same time to the iPad’s single 30-pin dock port.

Breakout Box Accessory
Available as a separate accessory for Duet is a solidly built, aluminum breakout box with 2 1/4” inputs, 2 XLR inputs (for 2 simultaneous channels of input) and 2 balanced XLR outputs. The Duet breakout box features studio-quality I/O connectors and includes a 2 meter cable allowing you to extend your input and output connections away from your desktop and minimize cable clutter.

Please note the breakout box does not enable extra inputs or outputs. Whether you are using the breakout cable or breakout box Duet is capable of 2 channels of analog input (mic, line, or instrument) and 4 channels of analog output (left/right headphones and left/right monitor outputs).

Sound Quality
The Apogee Advantage
A difference you will hear
ONE makes the legendary quality of Apogee’s mic preamps, AD/DA converters and clocking available in a portable form factor and at a great price. With components carefully selected in critical listening tests and a highly efficient circuit design, ONE was built by Apogee engineers to make a difference you can hear.

Pristine, next generation AD/DA converters
ONE’s AD/DA converters are designed to deliver the purest recordings and best listening experience possible. ONE’s efficient circuitry and state-of-the-art components provide a simplified signal path resulting in incredibly transparent recordings.

Smooth, detailed world-class mic preamps
ONE features two microphone preamps with seamless click-free transitions as the gain increases and decreases throughout the incredible gain range of 0 to 63 dB. This unprecedented feature allows you to dial in the perfect level, either with the controller knob or from within software, while delivering ultra-low noise and smooth, crisp detail. ONE’s mic pres are suitable for all dynamic, condenser or ribbon microphones, allowing you to capture any sound without compromise.

Music creation on iPad
A revolution in personal & professional recording
one
Apple’s iPad is an incredible audio recording and music creation tool. Starting at $399, it is by far the most accessible, reliable and dynamic way to make music.

iPad puts you in touch with your creativity
Interacting with iPad to make music is like playing an instrument. In fact, some apps like Apple’s GarageBand turn your iPad into a guitar or virtual instrument. Whether you are moving faders on a mixer, adjusting software parameters, or editing a waveform, iPad’s multi-touch interface is a more hands on environment and superior to mouse clicks or track pad swipes.

iOS Apps

There’s a music app for everything
There are hundreds of music apps for iOS and iPad. With multi-track recording DAWs like GarageBand and Auria, synths and drum machines like Animoog and DM1, utilities and guitar effects like Audiobus and JamUp Pro, the music creation offering for iPad is vast and varied. And most apps are more affordable than their Mac based counterparts.

Setting up your studio has never been easier
iPad makes everything easier with a simplified user interface and plug and play connectivity for accessories like Apogee audio interfaces. You’ll be amazed by how simple it is to set up your studio.

Share your music
Sharing functionality is built-in to most apps, making it easier then ever to move files and collaborate on different devices including iPad to Mac.

Direct digital connection to iPad
Apogee ONE, Duet and Quartet for iPad and Mac feature special circuitry that makes a direct digital connection to iPad and iOS devices* and is certified by Apple’s MFi (Made for iOS) program.

*Connection to iOS devices with a Lightning port requires the
Lightning to 30-pin Adapter.

DC power charges iPad
In audio, adequate power is essential for excellent sound quality. With a direct digital connection and an external power source, ONE, Duet and Quartet are able to charge your iPad while you record so your work will not be interrupted.
