FX Units 1 and 2
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.
The Left FX Unit
By default, FX Units 1 and 2 are always active. Assign effects to any mixer channel via the
respective channel's FX Assign buttons. Left assigns to FX1, right to FX 2.
This is an overview of the naming and function of the FX Unit's key control elements. The
knobs in this section are sensitive to touch. Touch any of them to open the FX drop-down
menu that provides an overview of the effect(s) loaded along with control assignments and pa-
rameter values.
▪ Single Mode: select one effect; the FX knobs let you control up to 4 parameters.
▪ Group Mode: select up to three effects as an effects chain; the FX knobs let you control
one parameter per effect.
