4.4.1.3 FX Assign Buttons
Each channel offers two FX Assign buttons which activate routing through TRAKTOR's FX
Units. Press the left one to route the channel to FX Unit 1, the right one to route to FX Unit 2.
FX Assign Buttons
These assignments aren't mutually exclusive, so you can send signal to either one or both FX
Units at the same time.
If you activate both FX assign buttons, your track will first run through FX1, then FX2.
TRAKTOR's FX only work if a channel is set to TRAKTOR mode. If you need to run an exter-
nal device through TRAKTOR's FX, set it to TRAKTOR mode and choose the Live Input Deck
flavor.
