Using the TEMPO Faders
The S2 allows you to control the tempo of a track/s playing in TRAKTOR DJ by manually ad-
justing the Track Deck's tempo. Adjusting the tempo of the currently playing track's tempo ad-
justs the global tempo of TRAKTOR DJ. By default, the track playing will play at the currently
selected tempo setting of the TEMPO fader. The TEMPO fader by default provides you with the
opportunity to maneuver through a range of 8% of the tempo. There may be occasions, for ex-
ample a track transition where you wish to navigate your way to a much faster or slower tempo
for a track. You can do so via:
1. Depending on whether you want to speed up or slow down a track's tempo. Ensure that
the S2's TEMPO fader is pushed to either end of its slider range (+ or -).
2. Hold SHIFT and then return the TEMPO fader to its central point. On releasing the SHIFT
button, you can now work your way through the next BPM range (a range of 10 bpm, ei-
ther faster or slower), you can repeat this process to speed up or slow down your tracks as
you choose.
TRAKTOR DJ allows you to utilize a tempo range of 8%/12%/25%/50%
5.2 Using the Transport Section
The transport section of the S2 is located below the Jog Wheels on either side of the S2 de-
vice. The left transport section controls TRAKTOR DJ's Deck A, and vice a versa the right-Deck
