User Manual

As previously described, you can switch the sample playback mode between Looped and
One-shot mode by clicking on the little green loop / blue arrow in the top right corner of the
sample slot in TRAKTOR 2. The Sample Play button’s behavior changes accordingly.
Now you can load a different track onto Deck B, but you will still have the loop from the
original song stored on the Sample Deck D to be retriggered at any time. It’s great for cap
turing loops on the fly and using them to build an alternate mix.
If the Deck you copied from wasn’t playing a Loop when you pressed the Sample Play but
ton, it will still grab audio from the source Deck, but will instead take it from the current
playback position. The loop will automatically be cut to the length of the current loop size
(grey-shaded Auto Loop button).
► Grab a few samples from various places from the track in Deck B and play around to
get used to the basic playback controls that we described above.
15.8.4 More Sample Controls
Once you have a sample loaded on one of the Sample Decks, you can change its sound
utilizing a number of controls. There's more that you can perform on your samples than is
described here, but we will at least show you some of the available functions:
▪ With the Sample Volume knob, you can adjust the volume of the sample in that specif
ic slot.
▪ With the Sample Filter knob, you can apply a lowpass/highpass filter on the sample in
that specific slot.
▪ With the Deck GAIN knob in the associated Mixer channel, you can raise or lower the
volume of all samples in that Deck at once.
▪ With the Deck FILTER knob in the associated Mixer channel, you can apply a lowpass/
highpass filter on all samples in that Deck at once.
▪ With the FX Assign buttons in the associated Mixer channel, you can assign an FX Unit
on all samples in that Deck at once.
▪ With the EQ knobs in the associated Mixer channel, you can shape the sound of all
samples in that Deck at once.
In TRAKTOR (SCRATCH) DUO 2 there are no individual Sample Volume and Sample Filter
knobs.
Once you transfer a Loop into one of the sample slots, this Loop becomes part of your Track
Collection and will be available to you at any time later simply by browsing the Collection—
for example, you will find it in the All Samples node.
