TRAKTOR | Switching Your KONTROL S3 To MIDI Mode

Important Note: the latest firmware for the controller needs to be installed. Please click here to download and install the latest firmware.


To enable MIDI mode on your S3, press and hold the left FLX button while connecting the controller to your computer. The pads will flash green briefly, indicating that MIDI mode is now active. Disconnect the device in order to deactivate MIDI mode again.



The MIDI mode is natively implemented within the device. This allows using the S3 in any kind of setup, e.g. also with MIDI-enabled mobile applications.
