►
To access the secondary function of any control element, hold SHIFT depressed when us-
ing that control element.
▪ For the Deck and FX Unit control elements, SHIFT operates locally, which means that you
cannot use the SHIFT button on the opposite side of your S4 to access the secondary
functions of a Deck or FX Unit.
▪ For the Mixer, the SHIFT button on either side can be used to access the secondary func-
tions.
On Track Decks, the SHIFT button additionally allows you to define the Deck tempo. See
section ↑6.3.13, SHIFT Button for further information.
6.3.3 Deck Assign Buttons: Switching Deck Focus
The Deck Assign buttons have an overall purpose, regardless of the Deck Flavor (Remix Deck,
Track Deck or Live Input).
Both Deck Assign buttons (one on each Deck).
The Deck Assign button (labeled DECK C on the left Deck and DECK D on the right Deck) al-
lows you to switch the focus of your S4 Deck between the two Decks it can control in the
TRAKTOR software.
►
On the left Deck, press DECK C to switch the focus between Deck A and Deck C.
►
On the right Deck, press DECK D to switch the focus between Deck B and Deck D.
→
When the focus is on the lower Deck (Deck C or D), the Deck Assign button lights up.
Simultaneously, the DECK C (or DECK D) indicator lights up instead of the DECK A (or
DECK B) indicator in the Deck Display (see ↑6.3.4, Deck Display: Informed at a Glance
below), along with the Deck Assignment indicator in the corresponding channel of the
Mixer (see ↑6.4.3, The Channels and the Crossfader).
Secondary Function: Switching Between Layouts
The Deck Assign buttons also allow you to switch between Layouts in TRAKTOR.
