Pressing any of FX buttons (backlit orange when engaged)1-3 will engage the correspond-
ing individual effect from that Group. The adjacent FX Knob controls the amount of the
selected effect applied (Dry/Wet).
Engaging all 3 FX buttons (1-3) can make for some interesting combinations. Likewise, by
triggering a Decks second FX Assign button, the second TRAKTOR effect unit (in Group
mode) provides a much greater range of effect capabilities and control using the X1.
It is recommended that you take some time to read a more detailed explanation of TRAK-
TOR's effects in the full TRAKTOR manual, and taking some time to experiment using the
X1 to control TRAKTOR's range of effects.
Using the X1 to assign a TRAKTOR Effect
The hands-on nature of the X1 allows you to manually select TRAKTOR's effects. This differs
slightly depending on whether the effect unit is in Single or Group mode.
When a TRAKTOR effect unit is in Single mode:
►
Holding SHIFT whilst moving one of the FX (Dry/Wet) knobs located at the top of the X1
will scroll through TRAKTOR's effects on the corresponding effect unit.
When a TRAKTOR effect unit is in Group mode:
►
Holding SHIFT + pressing an FX button (1-3) will toggle through effects individually.
►
Holding SHIFT + moving an FX Knob will toggle through TRAKTOR's corresponding ef-
fects.
Whilst carrying out any of the above processes, by looking at the TRAKTOR software on
your computer you will be able to see how TRAKTOR's effect units respond.
3.7.3 Assigning FX to the Touch Strip
Whether in Single or Group effects unit mode, the X1 allows you a further extension of control-
ling effects through assigning them to the Touch Strip. A simple way to think of this is that
when assigned to the Touch Strip, this control surface replaces the FX Knob's parameter to
control the amount of the effect applied. The below section will describe the process of Touch
Strip assignment.
