THE PRO 4-CHANNEL DJ SYSTEM
Portable, Stems-ready 4-channel DJ controller
Innovative high-res displays respond to touch-sensitive controls
All you need to DJ with included flagship TRAKTOR software
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DJ
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 is the 4-deck all-in-one DJ controller built to feel familiar right from the start. Time-tested features fuse with innovative high-res displays and touch-sensitive controls to channel your creativity. And with essential Stems control, experience modern DJing in a compact, rock-solid system.
STEMS-READY
Stems is a completely new way to DJ. A Stem file is an open, multi-channel audio file that contains a track split into four musical elements – bass, drums, vocals, and melody, for example. With each element available independently, you can mix in ways that just weren’t possible until now.
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 delivers essential control for Stems. Create instant on-the-fly edits, mash-ups, a cappellas, and more with hands-on creative control. And get detailed with your effects – add reverb to the vocals, and leave the rest of the track dry, for example.
CONNECT WITH YOUR CROWD
Get the crowd in motion from your first set with TRAKTOR KONTROL S5. The fusion of core TRAKTOR technology and the S5’s advanced touch-and-see workflow creates a brand new, yet familiar mixing experience – total TRAKTOR control designed for the modern DJ.
The robust touch-sensitive knobs control TRAKTOR software on two vivid high-res displays – so you stay focused on the mix. And LED-guided touch strips provide precise, natural-feeling pitch bend control to make you feel right in your element.
HIGH-RES DECK DISPLAYS
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5’s two ultra-crisp high-res displays put TRAKTOR PRO 2 software in plain sight directly on the hardware.
Browse for the next track, monitor effects, see Stems play as four stacked waveforms, and more all in vivid color. Just touch a knob and watch TRAKTOR respond on the displays – smart views, pop-up panels, filters, and effects values are instantly revealed by touch-sensitive knobs.
UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 features creative tools that empower your unique style when playing tracks. Slice, rearrange, and beatjump in perfect time with Hotcue, Flux, or Freeze modes using the 16 color-coded pads.
And for detailed remixing on-the-fly, explore the power of Remix Decks. Deconstruct and reconstruct your tracks at will using the performance pads, and create your signature sound.

IMPROVISING WITH FREEZE MODE
Take a snapshot from a running track using the Freeze Button and slice it up. A loop appears on the deck display ready for you to rearrange using the performance pads.

Access the power of TRAKTOR’s Remix Decks directly from the S5. Trigger sounds with the performance pads and see it all in Remix View on the high-res displays. And to build your own creative arsenal, capture loops from a running track in perfect sync, and layer them for advanced track edits on the fly.
