Scratch and Dent (Literally) Native Instruments Traktor S4
Posted on: 05.06.2013 by Gaynell Rydberg
This controller is functionally great, physically not so much. Everything still works. This is a great controller if you don't mind the dents in the controller ( SEE PICTURES ). Dents are located to the left of the left tempo fader and right of the right jog wheel. Only the dent on near the left tempo fader minorly affects the function of the tempo fader. The metal is pushed up slightly so that you cannot push the fader knob all the way down. However, if you leave the fader knob a bit higher, it will work just fine. One "annoyance" is pressing the right shift button lights up the left shift button and the light stays on for a second (but shift is not actually activated unless you are holding it down). Right shift button is not activating left shift button, only the LED. All inputs and outputs have been tested to work. If you require more pictures, send me a message. This is the CONTROLLER ONLY. This is a fantastic deal for the bedroom DJ.

Around 2 minutes, I'm stupid and don't realize that I the single FX mode on which is why I'm pressing the button repeatedly and it doesn't light up.

Towards the end I plug in the RCA, but I forgot I didn't have it plugged in.

Towards the end you can see that the white RCA is capable of outputting a consistent stream, it's just finicky.

Threadcrapping not necessary smitten. This is why it's priced so low.

The white RCA does work, but it needs pressure. I'm not sure why. If you push on it then the sound does come out. Price is remaining 375 though.

This is turning out to be a bit of a evening mare.

I bought it from someone, but the pictures they took didn't really show the dents so now I'm stuck with it.

Just discovered the white RCA out doesn't work either. 1/4" DO work though.

Dropping price by 50.

edit: It does work.. it just needs pressure, not sure what the problem is.

Everyone: please read the description carefully and note: no software by the sounds of it.

OP: please would share how such a fine piece of gear came to look like this? Potential buyers should have this info.
