User Manual

▪ You can double-click the Deck Heading to change the Deck Layout. This is useful for
displaying more or less information depending on the size of your screen. Each double-
click will scroll through the different Deck Layouts Micro, Small, Essential, Full or Ad
vanced. When using Micro, Small or Essential Deck Layout, only the first row of track
information is visible. Only Micro and Small are available for Sample Decks.
TRAKTOR provides Micro and Small Decks for convenient use on smaller displays. A Micro
Deck shows only one row in the Header and has no Waveform Display.
6.3.5 Deck Audio Drag and Drop
▪ If a track is currently loaded into a Deck, you can directly copy the track and it’s play
back position by pressing and holding the mouse button while dragging from the Deck
Heading to another Track Deck. This action can be performed while a track is playing
and is useful for a variety of creative reasons.
◦ If a track is loaded into a Deck, you can also directly export a sample from the
track by pressing and holding the mouse button while dragging from the Deck
Heading onto a sample slot. The sample is loaded in Looped mode (i.e. it will play
in loop) and inherits the playback state of the original track; if the track is playing,
the sample is loaded playing but muted. Filter settings from the corresponding
channel on the Mixer will also be copied with the sample and may be adjusted fur
ther using the Filter knob on the sample slot.
▪ The sample is copied from the current playback position:
◦ If the current playback position is within an active Loop, the sample is a copy of
the Loop and the playback position in the sample mirrors the playback position in
the Loop.
◦ If the current playback position is outside any active Loop, the sample starts at the
current playback position and its size is defined by the selected loop size (as dis
played by the Loop Size Display).
▪ The Sample Play button now lights up dimmed to indicate that the sample is loaded
but not audible, because it is either muted or stopped. If the sample is muted, its
waveform in the sample slot is dimmed, while the lit/unlit Sample Play button indi
cates whether or not the sample is playing. Roll your mouse over a sample slot and
press Mute to hear the sample.
