    I'm looking for a portable controller that I can take with me whenever I travel. Currently, when I go somewhere, I take the following:
    • Kontrol Z1
    • Kontrol X1
    • Behringer CMD PL-1
    This is a little awkward, and the Z1 is frankly a little chintzy. I do like that I can control any deck with the Behringer, but it would be better if that capability was built into the controller itself.

    Therefore, it would be great if I could find a controller that does the following:
    • control 4 decks
    • control FX
    • is fairly portable (my S8 is a little too big to lug around everywhere. lol)
    I don't know if I care whether it's "Traktor ready" or not, since I have already done a bunch of midi mappings for the X1, but it would be nice if I didn't have to map everything out myself. Tweaking an existing TSI is one thing, but starting from scratch (no pun intended) would be a pita.

    Any suggestions?

    I don’t think there can be anything as portable as you ask.

    The akai amx is great but it’s past it’s eol.

    The s3 is the only traktor native option by the looks of it however other software may have other types of robust options that you seek

    It would be cool to have Z1 like controller that would support 4 decks and had input for microphone. Sort of double Z1 + microphone input.

    You can't control fx with the S3 so that's why I said S4.
