Sections on S5's Top side
The top panel of the TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 is divided into three main areas:
(1) Decks: The Decks are the place where tracks, Stem Files, and Samples are played back. For
more information on the Decks and it’s elements refer to section ↑4.2, The Deck.
(2) FX Units: Adding effects to playing audio can tremendously expand the sonic possibilities of
your mix. For that purpose, TRAKTOR provides you with a great selection of high-quality FX.
These FX can be loaded into the so-called FX Units. For more information on FX Units, refer to
section ↑4.3, The FX Unit.
(3) Mixer: The mixer receives the audio signals coming from the Decks. As any DJ mixer, the
Mixer’s purpose basically is to adjust the relative level of each channel, to control the chan-
nels’ frequency content, possibly feeding them into the FX Units before sending the overall re-
sult to the Main section and in the end, to generate the mix that is sent to your audience. For
more information on the mixer and on it’s elements, refer to section ↑4.4, The Mixer.
