1.

Hold 

SHIFT

 and press the FX Button 1 repeatedly to scroll through all available FX until

the Gater is selected in the first slot of the FX Unit 1 in TRAKTOR.

2.

If the first FX slot is currently deactivated, press the FX Button 1 to activate it (the button
must be lit).

→ You hear the Gater cutting the audio at regular intervals.

You might want to deactivate the FX Buttons 2 and 3 in order to better hear how the Gater

affects the audio.

Now try the following:

►

Set the FX Knob 1 to various positions and listen to the resulting effect on the audio.

→ You’ll notice that the gating effect stays synchronized to the beat! Among other things,

this can be very useful to temporarily emphasize the rhythm, e.g. by transitions between

tracks.

You  can  check  this  by  moving  the 

TEMPO

  fader  on  the  right  Deck:  by  pulling  the  fader

downwards, you hear the track playing faster… and the Gater following.

Single Mode

 

You can also switch each FX Unit to Single mode. Instead of multiple FX with one parameter
each, Single mode will give you one FX but with much more control over its parameters.
This time, we will do it on the right FX Unit (labeled FX2) of your S4:
1.

Check that the FX Mode button (

MODE

) is off. If it’s on, press it to switch that FX Unit to

Single mode.

2.

Press 

SHIFT 

+ FX On button for the FX Unit to load an FX. You can hold 

SHIFT

 depressed

and continue to press the FX On button to cycle through all the available FX until you see
in the software one FX you’d like to try.

3.

Press the same FX On button (this time without 

SHIFT

) to turn on the FX Unit globally.

The FX On button lights up.
