Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8

Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8

Complete 4-deck USB DJ Control Surface and 24-bit/48kHz Audio Interface for Traktor Pro 2 with Remix Deck Layout and Full-color Screens


Complete Traktor Control for Live Electronic Musicians
Many digital DJs and live electronic musicians today feel about as comfortable operating a turntable-style jog wheel as we would performing open-heart surgery. For us, Native Instruments came up with the Traktor Kontrol S8, a tactile control surface built around the parts of a traditional DJ controller we actually use. In place of the large aluminum platter that typically takes up about 40% of each deck section, the S8 offers you a pair of large color displays with dedicated controls that mirror Traktor's Remix Deck layout, but they're also perfect for regular track playback as well. Beyond that, the Traktor Kontrol S8 gives you full 4-deck control, killer performance pads, and a whole lot more.


Native Instruments Traktor S8 DJ Controller at a Glance:

Touch-sensitive controls let you command all aspects of Traktor Pro
Full-color displays provide amazing Remix Deck control and much more
Complete 4-deck mixer section includes a stunning USB audio interface
Touch-sensitive controls let you command all aspects of Traktor Pro
Don't let the slightly unconventional look of the Traktor Kontrol S8 throw you - this bad boy is mission control HQ as far as Traktor Pro 2 is concerned. Whether it's digging through your virtual crates, piling on the effects to create a killer buildup, or leapfrogging through cue points to lay down a funky new groove, there's not a thing in this beast can't handle. There's even a pair of touch strips onboard to give you fast and accurate track position scrubbing, pitch bend control, and more. You've never experienced a controller that keeps you in the zone quite like a Traktor Kontrol S8. And if you're totally new to Traktor Pro 2 (which comes included), you couldn't ask for a better way to dive in.

Full-color displays provide amazing Remix Deck control and much more
When Native Instruments unveiled their Traktor Kontrol S8 to us, many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater gave a collective whoop of joy and started clearing space on their desks. Many of us had been hoping for a controller build around Remix Decks since they were first introduced in the 2012 release of Traktor Pro 2, and these full-color displays totally blew us away. Not only do you get a full display that mirrors Traktor's Remix Deck window, you also get a full set of controls that let you tweak playback options, adjust levels, set loops, and more. These displays also make working with regular track playback a blast, giving you an added degree of hands-on control over track parameters.

Complete 4-deck mixer section includes a stunning USB audio interface
One of the things that's easy to overlook on the Traktor Kontrol S8 is the 4-deck mixer section. By now, we've all come to expect four decks worth of mixing on any major DJ controller, and even the grippy knobs, smooth filter controls, and playable faders on the S8 seem par for the course. But what you might not expect is the excellent mixer/audio interface that's onboard, which offers four sets of stereo inputs (line or phono), a pair of microphone inputs, and a variety of outputs to fit into any sound system. And when it comes to sound quality, you really can't knock the 24-bit/48kHz resolution, which will give most dedicated recording interfaces a run for their money.

Native Instruments Traktor S8 DJ Controller Features:

Powerful and comprehensive control surface designed around Traktor Pro 2's Remix Decks
Hands-on controls cover all aspects of Native Instruments Traktor Pro 2 DJ software (included)
Full-color displays and dedicated controls provide access to Remix Decks with detailed visual feedback
16 playable tri-color backlit pads let you trigger samples and cues, set loop points, and more
4-deck mixer provides inline metering, 3-band EQs, dedicated filter controls, and smooth faders
Touch strips let you skim through tracks, control pitch, and adjust other parameters on the fly
Dedicated effects controls let you take hold of over 30 included studio-quality effects
Integrated 24-bit/48kHz audio interface provides 4 stereo channels, 2 mic inputs, and XLR outputs

Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61

Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61

61-key Controller with Fatar Keybed and Custom Controls Designed for Total Integration with Native Instruments Komplete 9+


Get Total Control Over NI Komplete!
Take command of your Komplete instrument collection like never before, with the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 keyboard. Far from a typical MIDI keyboard, this unique controller interfaces directly with your NI Komplete instruments, making it freakishly easy to find the sound you want, adjust parameters in real time, and create music in your favorite DAW. Use the Komplete Kontrol S61's purpose-built browser section to navigate through NI's tag-based preset system, remap parts of the smooth-playing Fatar keybed to play chords or scales, and even control your DAW right from the transport section - it's all there!

Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 Controller Keyboard at a Glance:

Designed for perfect integration with Komplete
You'll love playing on this amazing Fatar keybed
Advanced control options enhance your workflow
Designed for perfect integration with Komplete
When Native instruments introduced their universal tag-based preset system, the Maschine users here at Sweetwater were absolutely stoked. Now they've extended the same capabilities with their Komplete Kontrol S series keyboards. Using the Komplete Kontrol S61's intuitive browser controls, not only can you call up any NI instrument in your collection, you can select individual presets, narrowing down your search by descriptive keywords. Once you've loaded your sound, a set of touch-sensitive controls lets you dial in and tweak your tone on the fly via Native Instruments' Native Map, and the Clear View display lets you view the instrument's most important details at a glance.

You'll love playing on this amazing Fatar keybed
There are a few good reasons why keyboardists and keyboard makers love Fatar keybeds like the one in this Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61. In addition to being extremely well built, they feel fantastic, offering enough resistance so that you can really lay into the keys while recovering fast enough for synth-style repeats. Whether you're playing a piano patch courtesy of The Giant or a lead via Monark, these keys won't let you down. For added expression, Native Instruments also gave the Komplete Kontrol S61 a pair of touch strips, which let you pull off mod and pitch-bending moves out of reach for ordinary control wheels. What's more, the Komplete Kontrol S61's integration with Komplete 9 and up includes its multi-color Light Guide - a series of LEDs above each key that offers performance feedback and reveals advanced playing features.

Advanced control options enhance your workflow
There are several additional functions onboard the Komplete Kontrol S61 that make playing virtual instruments and writing music even more fun and productive. For instance, you can play chords with single keys or map key ranges to different scales, and the onboard arpeggiator goes far beyond typical arpeggiation, offering you creative new ways to come up with melodies. And to make controlling your DAW of choice simpler, Native Instruments gave the Komplete Kontrol S61 a full set of transport controls.

Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 Controller Keyboard Features:

Powerful, great-playing keyboard that gives you unrivaled integration with Komplete 9+

Introduction to the new XW-P1 Performance Synthesizer from Casio by Mike Martin.

SYNTHESIZER
The XW-P1 is a 61 key performance synthesizer with Casio's exclusive (HPSS) Hybrid Processing Sound Source. Providing screaming virtual analog monophonic leads and basses, drawbar organs, complex layers, stereo pianos, drums and more, the XW-P1 has the sounds and real-time control the performing musician needs.

STEP SEQUENCER
Providing everything from pulsing dance grooves to animated synth textures and arpeggios, the Step Sequencer is the first of its kind. With nine tracks for drums, basses, synths and chordal parts, four controller tracks for adding panning, filter changes and other animation to existing parts and eight patterns make up each sequence; the user can build and mix their performance on the fly. Sequences can even transpose live from the keyboard, providing a completely interactive experience.

DRAWBAR ORGAN
In addition to the solo synth and Hexlayers, the XW-P1 performance synthesizer is armed with an arsenal of gig ready sounds like stereo pianos, vintage electric pianos, strings, brass, guitars, basses, drums and more. It also has a new drawbar organ mode. Utilizing the nine sliders on the XW-P1 you have full range control over each drawbar. The XW-P1 even has dedicated controls for key percussion and rotary speaker while also providing vibrato, distortion and more for the ultimate drawbar organ experience.

SOLO SYNTH
Utilizing Casio’s exclusive (HPSS) Hybrid Processing Sound Source, a six oscillator monophonic solo synth is just one of the amazing sound engine in the XW-P1. The solo synth has the power to deliver classic analog sounds and sounds with an aggressive edge unlike anything else. Two virtual analog style oscillators, two PCM based oscillators, a noise oscillator and an external oscillator via mic and line inputs can be combined to make up a single solo synth tone. Each oscillator has an independent filter, envelopes, independent key tracking, portamento, two LFO’s and access to master resonant filter. With impressive modulation and control capabilities at your fingertips, the solo synth is capable of a wide range of sounds and expression.

HEX LAYER
In addition to the solo synth, the XW-P1 also features HexLayer tones. A HexLayer is a single sound comprised of up to 6 components, allowing complex layers, splits and velocity switched sounds. The sliders on the XW-P1 can be used to mix sounds on the fly to create evolving pads and rich synth textures while key velocity can be used to create dynamic velocity switched orchestral sounds and more.

ARPEGGIATOR AND PHRASE SEQUENCER
The XW-P1 has powerful arpeggiators. In addition to typical arpeggio patterns, this arpeggiator can create polyphonic synth gated patterns, acoustic instrument emulations and is even fully programmable allowing you to create your own unique sounds. An additional phrase sequencer allows you to quickly capture any riff that you play on the keyboard and have it available on a front panel switch or triggered and transposed live from a range of notes on the keyboard. The combination of the Step Sequencer, Arpeggiator and Phrase Sequencer provides an endless array of sound possibilities.

CONTROL
The XW-P1 has 4 realtime controller knobs, pitch bend and modulation wheels, along with 9 sliders to provide control over internal sounds and external devices. Through standard MIDI ports and with a class-compliant USB port the keyboard can be used as a controller for other instruments, including computer software and iPad® based software applications. It also includes an audio input allowing you to monitor an MP3 player, computer or other device without the need for a mixer.

BATTERIES
While the XW-P1 comes with a power supply it can also run on batteries, providing a truly mobile music making experience. You can now create music virtually anywhere.

New Pioneer XDJ 1000 usb touch screen Digital DJ player [ Coming February / March 2015 ]

New Pioneer XDJ 1000 usb touch screen Digital DJ player [ Coming February / March 2015 ]


Large, full color touch screen with intuitive GUI

The 7-inch, full color LCD touch screen gives DJs instinctive control and enables the ultimate creativity. The GUI is divided into three sections: Browse, Play and Perform, so DJs can effortlessly see and access all the features they need, without the screen being over-crowded.

Faster browsing with Qwerty KEYBOARD and KEYWORD SEARCH

The Browse function is speedier than ever, with the ability to call up a Qwerty keyboard and search for keywords, and scroll using the touch screen or large rotary dial. Plus DJs can choose how they view tracks: list, artwork, or custom view.

Professional features including the NEW Quantized BEAT JUMP/ LOOP MOVE

NEW! BEAT JUMP*1
enables DJs to jump backwards or forwards 1,2 or 4 beats from the current playback position.
NEW! LOOP MOVE*1
after DJs have created a loop, they can navigate 1,2 or 4 beats backwards or forwards through the loop.
Auto loops and cues
DJs can instantly trigger loops and cues they’ve prepared in rekordbox.
QUANTIZE*1
uses the track’s beat grid to ensure loops and cues are set and triggered in time with music.
BEAT SYNC*1
looks at the rekordbox beat grids, on up to four connected players, and snaps them to the beat of the master deck.
SLIP MODE
silently continues track playback during a loop, reverse or scratch and brings the music back at the right point when the DJ exits the performance.
NEEDLE SEARCH
lets DJs slide their finger along the ribbon to intuitively access any point in the track, just like with vinyl.
ACTIVE LOOP
DJs can use rekordbox to set an Active Loop at the end of tracks to ensure they’re never caught unprepared again.
*1:Works with music that has been beat-analyzed by “rekordbox™”

Enhanced rekordbox track information for ease of mixing and track selection

DJs can analyze their tracks in rekordbox and the XDJ-1000’s large touch screen will display a host of information to aid DJing:

Wave display with WAVE ZOOM*2
the color-coded wave display can be zoomed x5 for even more precision loops and cues.
Beat Countdown
DJs can use rekordbox to mark key points on a track, and the XDJ-1000 will count down to them from up to 64 bars away.
PHASE METER
shows the position of the beat in the bar, enabling DJs to compare the phase of each player with the master deck at a glance.
Key Analysis Indicator
a ”TRAFIC LIGHT”*3 system in the browser shows which rekordbox tracks are in a compatible musical key with the master deck for harmonized mixes every time.
*2:Works with music that has been waveform-analyzed by “rekordbox™”.
*3:Works with music that has been key-analyzed by “rekordbox™”

MY SETTINGS function including color-coded USB port light

DJs can chose their personal preferences in rekordbox – including QUANTIZE ON/OFF and MASTER TEMPO ON/OFF – and the XDJ-1000 will automatically download them. Plus DJs can color code their playlists in rekordbox, e.g. red for techno or blue for drum & bass, and the light around the USB port will reflect that setting for ease of identification in the booth.

Professional layout for familiarity at home and in the booth

The XDJ-1000 mirrors the layout of the club standard CDJs, so DJs can perfect their sets at home and move effortlessly to the booth to perform. The 206 mm jog wheels are the same size as those on the CDJ-2000NXS, for instant familiarity wherever a DJ plays.

DJs can load and browse music using Wi-Fi*4 or USB connection

In addition to USB keys, DJs can load rekordbox-ready music from PCs, laptops and smartphones using a Wi-Fi or USB connection. They simply connect a device running rekordbox (PC/Mac) or the rekordbox app (iOS/Android) to the XDJ-1000 and then browse and load tracks from the device’s screen. Devices connected via USB will even be charged during performance.

*4:Commercially available wireless LAN router separately required for Wi-Fi connection.

The HDJ-C70 professional on-ear headphones are intended for DJs who prefer a headset that is lightweight, extremely flexible, and can produce audio with more impactful bass and clear mid and high frequencies. The new HDJ-C70 model sets itself apart from other Pioneer HDJ offerings with the use of smaller, more compact ear cups, rotatable arms, interchangeable parts, and a minimalistic cosmetic look.

SOUND QUALITY
The HDJ-C70 is fine tuned for pro-DJ monitoring. Newly developed 40mm aperture driver units and neodymium magnets deliver outstanding resolution, accurately reproducing deep bass and clear low to medium frequencies. A copper cap in the pole piece part inside the unit and a 2,000mW input capacity eliminate distortion, even with the volume cranked up.

SOUND ISOLATION
The new headphones are also designed to help minimize loud background noise, often found in loud environments such as a DJ booth, by utilizing a special sound-isolation “air chamber” integrated into the housing of the earpiece. The innovative air chamber also helps to isolate low and mid frequencies resulting in better defined mid bass/mid range sound output. The ear pads use soft leather-type materials for a snug fit to enhance sound insulation.

COMFORT AND FIT
The headband of the HDJ-C70 is made of a polyamide resin for maximum flexibility, withstanding the constant pulling and twisting of the headphones by users. The ear cup housing also utilizes a ridged rubber ring for easier gripping of the headphones and reduced chances of slipping.

For an ultra-comfortable fit and to conform to different head sizes the ear cups of the HDJ-C70 are designed to move vertically along the slider arms, offering a total of 15 different positions. Furthermore, the slider arms can be rotated up to 90 degrees in each direction, providing the greatest flexibility for different styles of DJing.

The model incorporates soft, extremely comfortable low-resilience urethane memory foam ear pads to create a nice seal around the ears which also helps in reducing induced external sounds. The urethane memory pads are wrapped in soft black leather for maximum feel and extended comfort.

INTERCHANGEABLE PARTS
Furthermore, the HDJ-C70 features interchangeable parts for greater longevity. The headband, earpads, housing, cushion and cables can be removed and replaced (parts sold separately). The headphones are pre-installed with a 1.6m straight cord which but can also be swapped with an 1.0m curled cord (included). The cords have fine ribs to reduce tangling and noise from touching. A compact carrying pouch for added protection and convenience comes with the unit.

The F-Series – Professional Monitoring for Everyone

For music lovers, musicians and first and foremost for sound engineers and producers, good speakers should be like good friends. At best they are sincere and would not hide anything from you. In recording or mixing sessions it is vital to hear the slightest shade within the sound in order to be able to make adjustments. Only with that you will be able to record that perfect take or create the perfect mix.

We at ADAM Audio are commited to loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing recordings clearly and precisely. Since the company‘s founding year in 1999 we have produced a number of monitors that have been highly praised worldwide by well-known producers and recording engineers. Awards and excellent magazine reviews underscore the innovative sound characteristics of our monitors. The element mainly responsible for the natural sound of ADAM loudspeakers is our proprietary X-ART tweeter. Handmade in Berlin, Germany, it performs with a nearly flat frequency response reaching up to 50 kHz.

The new F series, consisting of the two active nearfield monitors F5 and F7 and a dedicated subwoofer, the SubF, is designed in the continuing tradition of the legendary ADAM professional monitors. The aim is to focus on the essence of a monitor, i.e. precise and natural sound reproduction at a new, lower price point.

With the new F series you are able to have the same great tools the world‘s best producers and mastering experts rely on for their daily studio work. The extraordinary clarity of the X-ART tweeter paired with the powerful bass reproduction of the woofer make these speakers very attractive for a number of applications. Be it an expressive monitor in your home recording studio or on your desktop, the new F series is an ideal entry to the world of Pro Audio.
