4.13.4 FX
When FX (Enable) is active, Samples playing in this Sample Slot will be routed through the FX
Unit assigned to the Remix Deck's channel in TRAKTOR's mixer. Note that this is independent
of the Remix Deck's filter parameters, which are controlled by the Filter knobs at the upper
part of the F1.
4.13.5 Monitor
When you enable Monitor, Samples in the Sample Slot are routed to the Mixer's Monitor Input.
Use Monitor to pre-listen to a Sample with your headphones before playing it live to an
audience.
4.13.6 Punch
When a Sample, either in One-shot or Loop mode, is triggered in a Sample Slot, the position of
that Sample is fixed to the Remix Deck's internal timeline. This is most noticeable when using
One-shot Samples since you can trigger the Sample, let it play, then wind the Deck backwards
to the original location of the Sample and play it again. Since only one Sample can be played
in a Slot at a time, triggering a new One-shot Sample will remove the previous Sample from
the Deck's internal timeline and will fix the new Sample to the current location.
This behavior is changed, however, when Punch mode is enabled. With Punch enabled, every
Sample you trigger will be placed in the same location as the previous Sample in the Deck's
internal timeline. What this means is that you can trigger a One-shot Sample, let it play, trigger
a different One-shot Sample in the Sample Slot, then wind the Deck backwards to the location
of the first Sample and you will hear the new Sample instead.
Punch mode is also beneficial when using Loops because it allows musical phrasing to be
maintained when switching Loops. Just as with One-shots, triggering a Loop while Punch mode
is enabled will place the Loop back at the location of the previous Loop. Because Loops repeat
themselves infinitely into the future and past of the Deck's internal timeline, you'll hear the
new Sample playing at your current playback location, but the Loop will be playing in the cor-
rect position as if it had been triggered back at the position of the first Loop.
