User Manual

This light bulb icon indicates that a note contains useful extra information. This infor-
mation may often help you to solve a task more efficiently, but does not necessarily ap-
ply to the setup or operating system you are using; however, it's always worth a look.
Furthermore, the following formatting is used:
Text appearing in (drop-down) menus (such as Open…, Save as… etc.) and paths to loca-
tions on your hard drive or other storage devices is printed in italics.
Text appearing elsewhere on the screen (labels of buttons, controls, text next to checkbox-
es etc.) is printed in light blue. Whenever you see this formatting applied, you will find the
same text appearing on the screen.
Important names and concepts are printed in bold.
References to keys on your computer's keyboard you'll find put in square brackets (e.g.,
"Press [Shift] + [Return]").
Single instructions are introduced by this play button type arrow.
Results of actions are introduced by this smaller arrow.
1.2 Names and Pet Names for Software and Hardware
In this manual, we will often refer to the TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 also as the "KONTROL F1,"
or simply the "F1." Likewise, the TRAKTOR PRO 2 software will most often just be referred to
as "TRAKTOR."
We also refer to F1's buttons with both their primary functions capitalized, and their secondary
functions capitalized and in parentheses. For example, the upper left button just under the
left-most fader is the SYNC (MASTER) button.
