Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK2 22400 Data Sheet

By slowly turning the 

CUE MIX

 knob on the front panel, you will hear the second track come

into the mix in sync with Deck A.
Note that you should always adjust the tempo of the track that is not audible to the audience!

Setting a Cue Point as Starting Point

 

You will probably want to have more control over which particular part of the track you mix in.
For  example,  most  of  the  time,  not  only  the  tempos  but  also  the  downbeats  of  both  tracks

should match. Using a particular point in a track (for mixing in, triggering, etc.) is called “cue-
ing.”
TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 lets you mark points for cueing—we call them Cue Points. This nota-

bly allows you to re-use these points at a later stage, or in a later session.

The four unlit Hotcue buttons.

►

On the right Deck, whether or not the track is playing, simply press one of the unlit Hot-
cue buttons on a downbeat—let’s say the Hotcue button 1.

→ The Hotcue button lights up in blue: you’ve just stored a Cue Point that you can return to

simply by pressing the same Hotcue button again.

The first Hotcue button is now lit in blue.

You don’t have to worry about dropping a Hotcue directly on a beat: by default, TRAKTOR will
make sure this happens automatically. This is because the so-called Snap mode is on, as you

can see by the lit 

SNAP

 indicator on the Master Display, located in the middle of the Mixer:
