4 TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 Reference
4.1 Introduction
This chapter is your go-to reference for using the F1 to control your Remix Decks in TRAKTOR.
For learning how to use the F1 in everyday situations, please see ↑3, Tutorials and Workflows.
If you are "diving right in" with this chapter, you still might want to work through the
tutorials in ↑3, Tutorials and Workflows. There you will learn the very basics of loading
and playing the Remix Decks.
4.1.1 A Word on Modes
The F1 is a compact and ergonomically-designed piece of hardware made to fit on your table
with whatever gear you use. With a relatively small number of knobs and buttons, you can con-
trol just about every aspect of the Remix Decks, including loading and saving Remix Sets,
changing Pitch, Speed, Size, and direction of Sample playback, setting up Sample Sync, Key-
lock, Monitoring and FX routing, and much, much more!
In order to accomplish all of this, the F1 architecture is based on a number of modes, all of
which we will describe in this chapter.
Activating the Modes
Each Mode button (REVERSE (COLOR); TYPE (PITCH); SIZE (SPEED); etc.) grants access to
two modes:
▪ Press the Mode button directly to activate its "primary" mode. Here, the mode's name is
written on the button.
▪ Press SHIFT + the Mode button concerned to activate the "secondary" mode. Here, the
mode's name is written below the button.
