• For the control elements in S8's Deck section, SHIFT operates locally i.e. you cannot use
the left SHIFT to access the secondary functions of a Deck or FX Unit on the right side of
the controller.
• For S8's Mixer section, either SHIFT button can be used to access the secondary func-
tions.
You will find examples of using the SHIFT button to access secondary functions throughout
this document.
4.3 The FX Unit
Above the Decks, the S8 features two FX Units which can be assigned to any of the Decks.
Four knobs and buttons per FX Unit allow you to control effects parameters in real time.
FX Units 1 and 2
S8 comes with dedicated controls for TRAKTOR's two FX Units. Just like in the software, FX
Unit 1 is located in the top-left corner, FX Unit 2 in the top-right.
FX Units allow you to creatively process a track, ranging anywhere from just adding reverb for a
build-up to completely messing up a beat with stutter effects. For that purpose, the TRAKTOR
software offers a great selection of high-quality FX. These can easily be configured from S8
and be controlled utilizing the FX Unit controls.
