FLAGSHIP ALL-IN-ONE DJ CONTROLLER
- Cutting-edge DJ controller, Stems-ready decks, and stand-alone mixer capability
- Stunning high-res displays react to touch-sensitive controls
- Plug-and-play with included TRAKTOR PRO 3 software
THE FUTURE OF DJING
Experience a new way to mix and perform with TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 – a 4-channel stand-alone mixer, professional audio interface, and enhanced Stems*-ready decks for ultimate control over the included TRAKTOR PRO 3 software. Touch-sensitive controls and high-res displays deliver DJ workflow that is truly cutting-edge.
STEMS-READY
TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 is designed for ultimate mixing with Stems – the open, multi-channel audio format for creative DJing. A Stem file contains a track split into four musical elements – bass, drums, vocals, and melody, for example.
Transition between elements stem-by-stem instead of using global volume and EQ control for an entire track. Or apply effects just to a specific stem. And to get really creative, swap elements across multiple decks – take the vocals from one track and mix it with the beat from another.

Get physical with the music. Touch-sensitive knobs, faders, and LED-guided touch strips bring TRAKTOR software to life on vivid full-color displays, keeping you focused on performance – not on your laptop. The S8’s touch-and-see workflow means you connect with your music – and with your crowd.

SMART VIEWS
TRAKTOR KONTROL S8’s smart views and pop-up panels deliver dynamic visual feedback that’s more than meets the eye. Browse your library, monitor effects, improvise on the fly, and more at the touch of a button – and directly within view.
MIXING WITH STEM DECKS
When a Stem file is loaded onto a deck, the touch-sensitive performance faders and knobs instantly correspond to each stem part, ready for mixing, filtering, or adding effects to individual elements. The display immediately switches deck flavor to the Stem View.
CREATIVE PERFORMANCE
Trigger cue points and loops with color-coded pads for instant creative editing. The colors match the different hotcue types for easy recognition.
IMPROVISING WITH FREEZE MODE
Take a snapshot from a running track using the Freeze Button. A loop appears on the deck display ready for you to slice up with the performance pads.
LIVE CAPTURING
Remix Decks’ hands-on workflow lets you capture loops from a running track in perfect sync and layer them for advanced track edits on the fly.
ENHANCED REMIX DECKS CONTROL
Activate Remix Decks directly from the S8 to see your Remix Sets in full view. Trigger sounds from the performance pads and mix them in with the deck faders.
TRACK PREPARATION
Keep your tracks ready for the mix. The Beatgrid view instantly shows your grids on the displays for editing in advance or on the fly.
RESPONSIVE HARDWARE
Designed for enhanced DJ performance, TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 is the perfect fusion of hardware and software.
The S8’s touch-and-see workflow brings the industry-leading DJ software to life under your fingertips – and right before your eyes.

VERSATILE MIXER
Not the average mixing interface. TRAKTOR Mode buttons on every mixer channel toggle between TRAKTOR and stand-alone mode for integrating a wealth of analog and digital gear – perfect for use with TRAKTOR SCRATCH and seamless transitions between multiple setups.
The S8’s 4-channel mixer section features innovative wear-resistant faders. Under the hood, inversed carbon strips prevent nightclub wear from debris and drastically prolong fader life.

AUDIO INTERFACE
The S8 offers the most comprehensive connectivity on a TRAKTOR controller yet. Four analog inputs with phono and mic preamps let you connect turntables, CDJs or other gear. Both XLR and RCA master outputs and ¼ inch booth outputs connect the TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 to any sound system imaginable.
24-bit/48kHz of built-in, pristine audio boosts output to levels designed for the most demanding situations. MIDI In and Out lets you sync TRAKTOR with synthesizers, drum computers, MASCHINE, or external effects.

TRAKTOR PRO 3
From head-bobbing bar beats to midnight main-room experimentation. With intuitive and powerful tools for soundscape exploration, TRAKTOR PRO 3 makes any mix possible.
SYNC THAT NEVER SKIPS A BEAT
For mixing samples, loops, using Flux Mode and more. Hit Sync, and TRAKTOR keeps the elements of your mix perfectly matched. This is especially good for more advanced techniques like triggering additional loops and samples, or for syncing external gear with your TRAKTOR setup via MIDI or Ableton Link.
LOOP, JUMP, AND JUGGLE
Really make a mix your own. Use pads on TRAKTOR hardware to juggle Hotcues or to jump between drops and breaks to chop and screw your tracks. Loop and move encoders let you quickly re-edit in the heat of the moment. With TRAKTOR’s industry-leading beatsync, jumps and loops are always completely seamless.
FULL FX SUITE
From dubby drums to reverb-rinsed vocals – effects in TRAKTOR let you create soundscapes that are out of this world. Dial in over 40 customizable Deck FX that range from subtle beatshifts to all-out sonic destruction. We freshly developed new Mixer FX for easy-to-use modulation that sounds huge.
MIRROR YOUR MIXING STYLE
If you only need two decks and nothing else, you can set up TRAKTOR to show you just that. If you’re running an external input, two track decks and a Remix Deck with samples, you can customize TRAKTOR to show that too. Make the interface fit your style, so you always see everything you need at a glance.
PRO-GRADE SOUND
TRAKTOR’s audio engine is the result of almost two decades of development, and TRAKTOR PRO 3 sees further improvement with the integration of Elastique 3 time stretching, and an improved master limiter. It’s a sound that has filled everything from house-party speaker setups to large club systems and festival rigs.
CLEVER TRACK COLLECTION
An effective track collection is one you can use without thinking, so you can keep your head in the mix. Quickly find the tracks you know will work the crowd by structuring your library in a way that suits you. Filter by track type to find Remix Sets and Stems tracks easily, and create preparation lists for smooth DJ sets.
REMIX DECKS AND STEMS
Shift your set from DJing into the realm of live performance. Load one-shot samples or loops within a Remix Deck and trigger them to expand the sonic palette of your mix. Stems let you individually work with parts of a track for unique and spontaneous reworks – use the vocal stem and pair it with a new break to create a re-edit the crowd won’t hear anywhere else.
