Prerequisites
We assume here that the S8 is in the following state:
• The track “Techno 1” is loaded on Deck A and stopped.
• The Crossfader is all the way to the left.
• The channel fader A is raised to the top.
• The MAIN knob has an adequate level.
Enabling Flux Mode
To enable Flux mode within HOTCUE mode, LOOP mode, or FREEZE mode on Deck A:
1. Press the PLAY button to start playback.
2. Press the FLUX button to enable FLUX mode. The button lights up in orange.
3. Perform on the pads as usual. As soon as a pad is released, playback continues at the
second Playhead's position to preserve the musical phrasing.
4. Press the FLUX button again to exit FLUX mode.
Note that when the FLUX button is engaged, you cannot make use of Slicer mode on the
pads.
If the option Touch to Scratch is enabled in the TRAKTOR Preferences you can perform a
backspin effect for two beats by using FLUX mode:
1. Press the FLUX button to enable FLUX mode.
2. Hold the SHIFT button, and swipe quickly from the very right to the very left on the Touch
Strip.
3. Two beats later, release the SHIFT button.
→
The Backspin will stop and normal playback will resume right on the beat you desire.
