Pet Names for Software and Hardware
Throughout the documentation, we will refer to the TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 hardware control-
ler whether as “TRAKTOR KONTROL S2,” "S2 controller," or simply “S2.”
Likewise, the TRAKTOR software will sometimes be referred to as “TRAKTOR.”
Hence, a sentence like “TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 is a highly integrated DJ system allowing you
to control TRAKTOR from your S2” shouldn’t sound weird to you.
