Loop Encoder
You cannot permanently engage a loop when the FLUX button is active. The loop only re-
mains active for as long as you hold the Loop encoder and turns off again when released.
Adjustments to loop size can be made whether a loop is active or not.
Moving the Playhead
When a loop is inactive, the Loop encoder can also be used for moving the playhead in incre-
ments of the Loop size by holding SHIFT and then turning the loop encoder.
4.2.5 EDIT Button
Pressing the EDIT button lets you adjust a track's Beatgrid. The TRAKTOR software can analyze
your music and apply a Beat Grid which allows automatic beat-matching and synchronization.
EDIT Button
In most cases (through its Analyze function), TRAKTOR recognizes a track's BPM precisely and
sets the Beat Grid. Some tracks, however, need manual correction (e.g. a track with a complex
rhythm or with uneven timing, coming from a tape machine or warped LP), and the S8 pro-
vides you with the controls to do this. Please read chapter ↑3.11, Working with Beatgrids for
more information.
The EDIT button is disabled when a Remix Deck is focused. Beatgrid editing only applies
to Track Decks.
