(2) Browsing and Modes: The central part of the KONTROL F1 consists of the Browse and Mode
buttons, along with the SHIFT button and the dual function encoder knob (rotary and push).
The MODE buttons are all dual-function. The function written on the surface of the buttons is
the "main" mode that occurs when pressing them, while the name of the "secondary" mode
(when pushing SHIFT at the same time) appears just below the buttons. For example, the SIZE
(SPEED) button will do just that when you push it: activate the Size mode. But if you press the
SHIFT button at the same time, then you will call up its secondary function, Speed mode. In
this manual, the buttons are referred to by both functions. For example, the middle button on
the second row of the F1 is referred to as TYPE (PITCH) button.
(3) Pads and Mute (STOP) Buttons: The biggest part of the F1's control sections contains the six-
teen pads and the four Mute (STOP) buttons below the pads. The primary function of the pads
is to trigger different Samples on the Sample Grid, while the Mute (STOP) buttons either mute
the sound of the associated Sample Slot (the Sample continues to play, but the sound is mut-
ed) or stop the playback entirely (when pressed together with SHIFT).
In addition, the pads have a set of secondary functions, governing the Sample Slot parameters,
which will be described in section ↑4.2.11, The Pads.
2.2.2 The Back Panel
The back panel consists of:
• A sturdy USB connector, providing a firm grip on your USB cable.
• A slot for a Kensington lock to secure your TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 hardware.
2.2.3 Types of Control Elements
There are six types of control elements on the F1's top panel.
