User Manual

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. For more information on using Beat Grid mode refer to
section ↑3.12, Working with Beatgrids.
Beat Grid editing only applies to Track Decks and Stem Decks. The EDIT button is disa-
bled when a Remix Deck is focused.
4.2.6 CAPTURE Button
The CAPTURE button allows you to quickly select the capture source for sampling to the Re-
mix Deck.
CAPTURE Button
By holding the CAPTURE button and touching the BROWSE encoder the display shows the
current capture source. The rotation of the BROWSE encoder selects another capture source.
The capture size is determined by the source Deck's loop size setting.
4.2.7 Display Area and Controls
On the S8's graphic color displays, some functionality is dynamically shown or hidden by
means of the Display buttons adjacent to the display. The following image gives a detailed
overview of the Display area and its controls, as well as a table with links referring to sections
with further information.
