Mixer Overview
The Mixer is equipped with two main channels, each of them controlling the signal coming
from one particular Deck: channel A and B control the signals coming from Deck A and B (the
left and the right Deck on the S2) respectively.
Thanks to the logical layout of the channels on the Mixer, you can quickly see what goes
where:
▪ The left channel on TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 controls the signals coming from the left
Track Deck (Deck A) in TRAKTOR.
▪ The right channel on TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 controls the signals coming from the right
Track Deck (Deck B) in TRAKTOR.
Additionally, you have a combined channel to control the volume of TRAKTOR'S Remix Decks
C and D, for when Remix Deck mode is activated.
Signal Flow
The signal coming from a Deck passes the following stations before being output at the main
outs of the S2:
1. It arrives at the top of the channel at the GAIN encoder.
2. From there, it passes the EQ and Filter section.
3. It then possibly is tapped by the filter section, in case you have an FX Unit active and the
Deck is assigned to it.
4. From the FX Unit, it is sent on to the channel fader and further on to the crossfader.
5. After the crossfader, the signal is sent to the MAIN section and finally to the output.

The GAIN/FILTER encoder.
The GAIN/FILTER encoders operate slightly differently in their functionality, depending on
whether you are using TRAKTOR PRO software or the TRAKTOR DJ app with your S2 device.
