The decks are no longer mirrored so you might have to adapt to that if coming from an earlier version of the S2.

On top of the pitch fader, there are sync and key lock buttons as well. The pitch fader is small but sturdy and works very well for even small tempo changes. When combining the loop encoder with flux mode (which allows you to manipulate a track, for example using the jog wheel while always jumping back to the same point you were before manipulating the track) you can recreate what in other DJ gear is called a roll effect. There is also a knob to move the loop around once engaged, which is a cool feature. Simply rotate the encoder to adjust the loop size, and press the knob to engage the loop. LoopingВ is done with a loop encoder, and itвЂ™s my favorite way of creating and controlling loops.

Overall I like their weighting and operation. Unfortunately, there is no haptic feedback motor build in like the S4 MK3, but considering the budget that is understandable. The jog wheels are smooth in use and have good size. This is mainly due to the high-quality 8 performance pads per deck and the large aluminum jog wheels.
