Deck B now is the tempo master: the MASTER button on the left Deck Display in TRAK-
TOR turns off, whereas that of the right Deck lights up:
The Auto mode guarantees that each new track in the mix sets the tempo reference, and all FX
and other Decks will synchronize to it correctly — without being constrained to a single tempo.
If you’d like to do a combination of manual and synched beat matching, again leave the AUTO
button engaged in the software's Clock panel, and enable the SYNC button for individual
Decks on your S2 as needed:
▪ If SYNC is enabled, the new Deck inherits the tempo from the previous tempo master.
▪ If SYNC is disabled, the new track sets the current tempo master.
Note that you can also manually set a particular Deck as tempo master:
►
To manually set a Track Deck as tempo master, press SHIFT + SYNC on that Deck.
Using the Clock as Tempo Master
If you intend to only do beat-synced transitions, and would like to stay within the same general
BPM range throughout your set, using the TRAKTOR Clock as tempo master would be the ideal
mode to use. To set it up, do as follows:
1. In TRAKTOR’s Clock panel, deactivate the AUTO button.
2. Set the Clock as tempo master by activating the MASTER button in the Clock panel.
The Clock panel should now look like this:
On your S2, activateSync on both Decks by pressing the SYNC buttons.
