Traktor Overview

The Master Control panel is a central component of Traktor. It allows you control the MAIN volume, and defines the behavior for setting Cue Points and Loops. It also contains the Master Clock and works as a tempo reference for the Sync function and for the effects. Here you can also join or start network sessions via Ableton Link, or send a MIDI Clock signal to external hardware and software.

Master Control panel.

(1) SNAP: Activates SNAP mode. When SNAP mode is activated, Cue Points or Loops are always set to the closest beat. The button lights up blue when activated.

(2) MASTER CLOCK TEMPO display: Displays the current tempo and offset of the Master Clock. You can enter a new tempo with a double-click.

(3) MAIN knob: Controls the main output volume.

(4) LIMITER / BOOST: Activates or deactivates the limiter for the main output signal. When activated, the main output level meter shows the limiter position right before the red LEDs. If you have selected the Ozone Maximizer in the Mixer page of the Preferences, the label reads BOOST instead of LIMITER. For more information, refer to Optimizing Gain and Output Levels.

(5) MASTER: When activated you can play on four Decks with a stable tempo reference. It is also the mode to be used when Traktor is sending out the master tempo via MIDI Clock messages to another application or hardware being synced to Traktor.

(6) AUTO: When activated Traktor automatically selects one of the Decks as Tempo Master. The Master Clock then automatically syncs to the Master Deck.

(7) LINK: Syncs Traktor to an Ableton Link session and gives additional status information. For more information, refer to Synchronization using Ableton Link. When the Enable MIDI Clock setting is activated in the External Sync page in the Preferences, LINK is replaced by EXT. For more information, refer to Syncing Traktor via MIDI Clock.

(8) QUANT: Activates Quantize mode. Quantize mode lets you jump between Cue Points and Stored Loops seamlessly, without losing sync. Skipping in the track in Quantize mode brings the playhead position to the next destination without losing sync. The button lights up blue when activated.

Further Master Clock Controls

When hovering the mouse over the MASTER CLOCK display you are provided with additional Master Clock controls.

Traktor offers four FX Units which give you the control of adding FX to your mix. By default there are only two FX Units activated - FX Unit 1 and FX Unit 2. Each FX Unit can be assigned to any Mixer channel individually or to more than one Mixer channel at a time. The FX Units are located on the left and the right side in the Global section. A click on the FX Unit buttons labeled FX on either end of the Global section shows the corresponding FX Unit.

The FX Units are used as insert effects by default, but you can also use them as post-fader effects and as Send effects. The FX Units are freely configurable.

Additionally, you can choose from three different FX Unit modes in Traktor: Either Single FX mode, where four buttons and four knobs control one effect, Group FX mode, where you can use chain of three effects or Pattern Player mode, enabling you to add sequenced samples to the playing deck. For more Information on using the FX Units, refer to Working with FX Units. 

FX Units in Single FX Mode

In Single FX mode you get full control over all parameters of a single effect.

1. FX Unit Config drop-down menu: Opens a drop-down menu for configuring the FX Unit and taking snapshots. Additionally, the number identifies the FX Unit and the selected FX mode.

2. D/W knob: Controls the direct-to-processed signal mix.

3. FX Selector: Selects the effect to be controlled in the FX Unit.

4. FX Parameter control 1: Modulates the parameters for the selected effect.

5. FX Parameter control 2: Modulates the parameters for the selected effect.

6. FX Parameter control 3: Modulates the parameters for the selected effect.

7. FX button 1: Controls the selected effect. The exact function depends on the selected effect.

8. FX button 2: Controls the selected effect. The exact function depends on the selected effect.

9. FX button 3: Controls the selected effect. The exact function depends on the selected effect.

10. RST button: Resets all parameters for the selected effect. This button is not available for all effects.

11. FX On button: Switches the effect on and off. If on, the buttons light up yellow.

FX Unit 1 in Group FX Mode

In Group FX mode you can control up to three FX at once in one FX Unit.

1. FX Unit Config drop-down menu: Opens a drop-down menu for configuring the FX Unit and taking snapshots. Additionally, the number identifies the FX Unit and the selected FX mode.

2. D/W knob: Controls the direct-to-processed signal mix for the entire effect chain.

3. FX Selector 1-3: Selects the effect to be controlled in the FX Unit.

4. Effect Amount knob 1: Controls the individual effect amount.

5. Effect Amount knob 2: Controls the individual effect amount.

6. Effect Amount knob 3: Controls the individual effect amount.

7. Effect On buttons 1: Switches every effect in the effect chain on and off.

8. Effect On buttons 2: Switches every effect in the effect chain on and off.

9. Effect On buttons 3: Switches every effect in the effect chain on and off.

10. FX On button: Switches the effect on and off.

Pattern Player Mode

The Pattern Player can be used to play rhythmical patterns within Traktor.

1. Mode Selection: The Pattern Player is a new effect unit mode, as are “single” and “group” modes. It can be used in send, post fader and insert mode like any other effect. The Pattern Player is enabled by selecting it via the FX Mode selection. For more information, refer to Using the FX Unit in Pattern Player Mode

2. Volume knob: Adjust the volume of the sample and the sidechain depth if ducking is enabled.

3. Kit Display: Choose between different sample and pattern collections.

4. Pattern Selection knob: Select from among the different patterns. They are sorted by increasing activity to get the most intuitive feeling.

5. Pitch knob: Repitch continuously each sample from -12 semitones to +12 semitones. Note that there is no time-stretching algorithm involved to keep the sample best audio quality. This implies that up-pitching a sample shortens it and down-pitching a sample makes it longer.

6. Decay knob: Set the decay of the sample. Decay time is relative to the sample length and goes from almost-instant decay to full sample length. It also adjusts the release time of the ducking envelope from 200ms to 500ms.

7. Ducking on/off: When ducking is enabled, the track affected by the effect is sidechained to the Pattern Player sample. This is very useful if you want to push the Pattern Player sound forward. The amount of sidechain is modulated by the sample volume and its decay by the sample decay.

8. Sample selection: Switch to the next or previous sample in the list. There’s a kick, clave, snare, clap, closed hi-hat, open hi-hat, shaker and ride in the default 808 kit. Each sample has its own pattern bank that has been designed to be as musical as possible.

9. Pattern visualization: Thanks to the visualization you always know what the selected pattern looks like, where the play marker is and if the Pattern Player is running correctly.

10. Play/Stop: Starting the pattern restarts the pattern on the first beat and syncs it with Traktor’s master clock. Note that the first beat of the Pattern Player will always fall on the nearest beat to allow intuitive syncing.
