1. Pressing and spinning a Jog Wheel's top plate, you can seek through a track (to find a
nice bring-in point for example).
2. Once you have found an interesting point for cueing (let’s say a downbeat), keep pressing
the top plate and release it when a downbeat arrives in the other track. Deck A starts play-
ing from that point.
You can also stop the playback (by pressing the PLAY button) before you seek an interesting
point with the Jog Wheel.
►
Once you have found the point, you can release the jog wheel—since the Deck is not
playing, you won’t lose the point. When a downbeat arrives in the other track, press PLAY
again on the left Deck.
Stripe Navigation
When a track is playing in a TRAKTOR DJ Deck, you have the opportunity to engage Stripe
Navigation. This function allows you to visually preview any point in the track without altering
the current playback and at your choosing jump to that position of the track. Activate Stripe
Navigation via:
►
Press SHIFT + press and rotate the jog wheel on the currently playing Deck.
→
You can now navigate through the track to visually preview.
To jump to a desired position on the track:
►
Press the CUE button.
To exit from Stripe Navigation view:
►
Press the Loop MOVE encoder.
Mixing Manually
The S2 allows you to control TRAKTOR DJ's decks in a similar fashion to conventional turnta-
bles. With the SYNC mode off, you can nudge the jog wheels to create pitchbend. This may be
the preferred DJ workflow for those who like to utilize manual beat matching.
With SYNC mode and KEYLOCK off, you can Pitch Bend.
