TRAKTOR has an extremely powerful effect section. By default, there are two different FX
Units in TRAKTOR, which can be assigned to any of the Decks. These FX Units are directly
mirrored on your S2 above each Deck:
An FX Unit in TRAKTOR.
An FX Unit on the S2 controller.
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.
▪ 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.
4.6.1 Group Mode
TRAKTOR FX Units can be operated in two modes: Group mode and Single mode. In Group
mode, one FX Unit hosts up to three of TRAKTOR's internal effects. In Single mode, one FX
Unit hosts only one effect, but you can use the FX control knobs to control the effect's parame-
ters.
First we’ll look at Group mode. We’ll focus here on the left FX Unit (labeled FX1) of your S2 —
but the same applies to the right FX Unit as well.
