The Remix Deck C with a Sample loaded in the upper Sample Cell of the first Sample Slot.
Remix Decks are a great way to add Samples to your set, or capture Samples for on-the-fly re-
mixing. You can also use the Remix Decks to build new tracks on the fly, layering up to eight
clips on top of each other. Now let’s find out how to control the Remix Decks from your S2.
In case you were using Sample Decks in an earlier TRAKTOR version, don't panic! All for-
mer Sample Slot functionality stays preserved.
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 “Techno 2” is loaded on Deck B. The track is playing and audible. By the way,
from now on we will use “Track Deck” to describe Decks that play tracks, so that we can
easily distinguish Track Decks from Remix Decks. In TRAKTOR, you can see that the two
upper Decks (A and B) are Track Decks, whereas the two lower Decks (C and D) are Remix
Decks.
▪ The Deck A is stopped (if it’s not the case, press the PLAY button on the left Deck).
▪ The crossfader is all the way to the right.
4.5.1 Loading a Sample from the Collection
You can load Samples to REMIX SLOTS directly from your Track Collection:
