Native Instruments product specialist and Dubspot Instructor DJ Endo delves further into Native Instruments new Traktor Kontrol S4, the world’s first software and hardware DJ system, in this part 2 of our S4 tutorial series. In part one, Endo introduced us to the  fully-integrated 4-channel mixer and tactile jog-wheels. For part two, Endo looks at the effects panels and sample decks, and offers techniques for browsing, choosing, and assigning effects, controlling the parameters, toggle modes, and also explains some of the cool new features in Traktor Pro S4.  Endo shows you how you can take a loop from a track and throw it into a sample deck and navigate the sample deck using loop functions, filter, saving loops, etc.

Here is a PDF explaining every function on the S4 (detailed description of knobs, buttons, jog wheels, shift functions, etc.)
