Calibrating TRAKTOR for Timecode Control

Naturally you can also run a "hybrid" mode, i.e., one turntable is playing records in Direct
mode while the other is used to control TRAKTOR with a Timecode record in TRAKTOR mode.
For further information on using the Z2 as a stand-alone mixer vs. using the Z2 with TRAK-
TOR, please refer to the tutorial chapters of the TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2 Manual.
4.14 Calibrating TRAKTOR for Timecode Control
TRAKTOR will automatically calibrate your system for Timecode control as soon as you put the
needle on the Control Vinyl or play the Control CD for the first time. TRAKTOR will analyze po-
sition and tempo of the Timecode source, along with the signal quality.
Click on the Deck platter of a Track Deck to display the Scope panel.

If the signal quality is sufficient, your Timecode medium will be detected. Subsequently the
signal meter to the right of the scope will fill up completely, and the scope will show two nice
circles. If you have a track loaded on the associated Deck, it will start playing. A Deck that has
been calibrated successfully should look like the one depicted below.
