User Manual

The TEMPO fader controls the tempo of the focused Deck: Pulling the TEMPO fader down-
wards/upwards increases/decreases the tempo, respectively. By default, the range of the TEM-
PO fader is ±6 %.The TEMPO fader's range can be adjusted in two ways:
To narrow the range:
►
Press SHIFT + FLUX buttons
→
The Tempo Range is reduced to a minim of 2%.
To increase the range:
►
Press SHIFT + RESET buttons
→
The Tempo Range increases to a maximum of 100%.
You can change this range in Preferences > Transport > Tempo. Both the tempo fader in
the software Deck and the TEMPO fader on your S4 are affected by this setting.
RESET Buttons
The RESET buttons are located above each of the TEMPO faders and allow a track's tempo to
be reset at any point to its original tempo. When this button is pressed, it illuminates orange
and locks the tempo at its original value. Therefore, moving the tempo faders will not affect
the track's tempo at any point.
In case you don’t use the TEMPO fader at all and play the Deck at its exact original speed,
you can lock the tempo and disable the fader on your S4 to avoid moving it by accident by
pressing the RESET button.
To re-enable the TEMPO fader:
►
Press the RESET button again.
FLUX Buttons
The S4's FLUX buttons are located above each of the TEMPO faders, and when pressed will
engage TRAKTOR's Flux Mode. Flux mode lets you jump to cue points and loops without losing
the overall phrasing of your tracks.
