TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 Quick Overview

This mini-chapter will quickly introduce you to TRAKTOR KONTROL S2's main areas and con-
cepts both on your TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 hardware controller and in the TRAKTOR PRO
software.
To start off with, there are four virtual Decks in the TRAKTOR PRO software, and each of
them can be operated in several modes: Track Deck mode, Remix Deck mode, and Live In-
put mode, so you have a very flexible system on your hands. However, in combination with
the TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 controller, the software's upper Decks should always be Track
Decks, whereas the software's lower Decks should always be Remix Decks. Setting up your
S2 controller and the TRAKTOR software with the Setup Guide, this is how your software
will initially be configured. Keep this in mind throughout the rest of this manual.
Take the time to read these few pages, as they will familiarize you with the way TRAK-
TOR KONTROL S2 works and let you catch sight of the power of its design. If you're famili-
ar with importing music files in TRAKTOR, you can skip chapter
Library and start with the tutorials in chapter
↑3, Preparing Your Music
↑4, Tutorials (after having read this chapter).
