4.4 Looping and Cueing
Now that you have learned the basic mixing tasks, we will focus on one of TRAKTOR KON-
TROL S2’s great features: its looping facilities.
Prerequisites
As always, we assume here that you already followed the instructions in the previous tutorials.
TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 now is in the following state:
▪ The track “House 1” is loaded on Deck A. The track is playing and audible.
▪ The crossfader is all the way to the left.
4.4.1 Playing with Loops
On your S2, each Deck is equipped with dedicated loop controls, located in the LOOP section,
right under the jog wheel:
The Loop section, from left to right: LOOP MOVE encoder, LOOP IN and LOOP OUT buttons, and LOOP SIZE encoder.
Setting a Loop with a Predefined Size
Let’s add a Loop to the track on Deck A.
The LOOP SIZE encoder.
►
To engage a loop on a playing track, just push down the LOOP SIZE encoder.
