Areas and Concepts

 

This first section will give you an overview of TRAKTOR KONTROL S4’s main areas, both on
your TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 hardware controller and in the TRAKTOR software. On the way,
we will describe some important concepts that together build the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 sys-
tem.

You will continuously encounter these concepts in your work with TRAKTOR KONTROL S4.
Previous chapter 

 proposes a practical approach of how these concepts are im-

plemented.

Decks

 

TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 provides you with four virtual Decks. The Decks are the place where
tracks, Samples and live input are played back. The Decks can be seen as the virtual equiva-
lent to the good old vinyl or CD decks—just with a bunch of powerful additional features and
the flexibility of a computer-based system.
