User Manual

Special Case: One-shot Samples
As described above, the pads have three different illumination states for all types of Samples
except for Samples in One-shot mode. Samples in One-shot mode are special so that you can
trigger a One-shot and scratch it — most scratching routines will cause playback to go before
the start of the Sample or play past its end, but you will expect the Sample to still be there
when you wind your records back to the original location of the Sample in the Deck's internal
timeline. So in addition to the three pad illumination states listed above, Samples in One-shot
mode also have three additional illumination states:
▪ Pad is white: The Sample has already played.
▪ Pad is dim white: Playback is located after the Sample. Rewinding the Deck to the position
of the Sample in the Deck's internal timeline will cause it to play again.
▪ Pad is pulsing white: Playback is located before the Sample. Playing the Deck will cause the
Sample to play again once its position is reached.
See ↑4.7.3, Changing the Sample Play Type for more information on One-shot and Loop mode.
Notice that Samples in One-shot mode behave differently, depending on whether or not
Punch is activated on the corresponding Sample Slot. When Punch is not activated, a
Sample in One-shot mode can be re-triggered at any time to fix it to a new position in
the Deck's internal timeline. But with Punch activated, the Sample stays "pinned" to its
position so that when another Sample is triggered from the same Sample Slot, it will be
put in the position of the old one. See also ↑4.13.6, Punch.
Viewing and Setting Sample Slot Parameters
The Sample Slots of the Remix Deck have four parameter buttons that govern their behaviors.
These buttons are, from top to bottom on the F1: KEYLOCK, FX, MONITOR, and PUNCH.
On the TRAKTOR software, you can see these parameters when hovering over the Sample
name or waveform area at the top of the Remix Decks. They are represented as icons going
from left to right.
