It closely resembles the Kontrol S8 in design while sporting a stripped down appearance not unlike the differences between the S4 and S2. With prices at \u00a3579, stated by Traktor, it is just over \u00a3100 less than the S8 and I don&#8217;t really see what the point is.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.native-instruments.com\/typo3temp\/pics\/img-ce-gallery-traktor-kontrol-s5_overview_img01-588b4d588ed252e8e67df7d1729c41f3-d.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.native-instruments.com\/typo3temp\/pics\/img-ce-gallery-traktor-kontrol-s5_overview_img01-588b4d588ed252e8e67df7d1729c41f3-d.jpg?resize=320%2C195\" height=\"195\" width=\"320\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>It maintains the 4 channel control while missing a significant amount of features present in the S8, including the four faders on each side, designed for <i>Stems<\/i> control. This is a strange absence considering Traktor is stating that the S5 is a controller for <i>Stems<\/i> format.<\/p>\n<p>The promo video boasts &#8220;Hi-Res Screens&#8221; that look similar to the S8&#8217;s but any improvement is countered by the fact that all other functionality is reduced. While the promo video leads the viewer to think it will work as a 4 channel standalone mixer, the images of the back, show otherwise.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.native-instruments.com\/typo3temp\/pics\/img-ce-full-traktor-kontorl-s5_hardware_03_audio-interface_01-e5c7ce50c48da4b8de23291f0437607f-d.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.native-instruments.com\/typo3temp\/pics\/img-ce-full-traktor-kontorl-s5_hardware_03_audio-interface_01-e5c7ce50c48da4b8de23291f0437607f-d.jpg?resize=640%2C120\" height=\"120\" width=\"640\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>It really seems that you are saving a small amount of money, for a significantly cut down machine. An eager person could probably find a second hand Kontrol S8 for the same price which, of course, will have full features. Such a person would not only have greater control of stems and tracks but will also be able to use the S8 as a standalone mixer or even a DVS system.<\/p>\n<p>If, perhaps the price was another \u00a3100 cheaper, it would be a controller to consider buying but for now, you may as well save that wee bit more money, for a much better piece of kit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today a new controller has been announced by Traktor, the Kontrol S5.
