Triggering and Controlling an Effect
Pressing any of the S4's FX buttons (1-3) (located in the FX 1 or FX 2 sections) will engage the
corresponding TRAKTOR DJ effect. When a button is pressed, you will notice that it illumi-
nates orange. Within the Effects display of TRAKTOR DJ, the corresponding FX bank will also
be highlighted orange.
Follow the below tutorial to familiarize yourself with how to utilize the S4 to control TRAK-
TOR DJ's effects:
1. Load a track into Deck A and begin playback.
2. Press FX button 1 at the top of Channel A to reveal TRAKTOR DJ's Effect display.
3. In TRAKTOR DJ, if not already selected by default, ensure the Delay effect is selected in
the left-most bank.
4. Using the FX 1 section (located in the top-left) of the S4, press FX button 1.
The button will illuminate orange; you will also be able to hear the Delay effect being ap-
plied to the track playing.
5. Move the FX knob 1 to either the left or the right.
Observing TRAKTOR DJ, you will notice that your movements with the FX knob control the
corresponding X axis in TRAKTOR DJ. Moving the FX knob to the right subsequently
moves the Delay effect along its X axis.
6. With the effect still engaged, turn the DRY/WET knob to the right.

You will hear the amount of the Delay effect increase. This movement is mirrored on the
Y axis within TRAKTOR DJ's Effects display.
