Native Instruments traktor kontrol s5 - Muting Remix Slots; Using the Touch Strip on a Remix Deck

It's a good idea to experiment with Quantize Values. Depending on the scenario, you will
often want to keep the values long (four beats, eight beats, or even longer) to keep your
musical phrases synced up. But for rapid changes between sounds, and a more "active"
remixing, try for values of one beat or less.

3.5.5 Using the Touch Strip on a Remix Deck
In this brief tutorial we'll learn how the Touch Strip can be used with the Remix Deck.
On a Remix Deck which isn't playing a track:
►
Swipe on the Touch Strip to move the playhead positions within the active Samples.
Swiping toward the right will move the Remix Slot playhead position in the current Remix
Deck row backward; swiping toward the left will move the Remix Slot playhead position
forward.
Just like Track Decks the Remix Decks can become out-of-phase at times, even when
they have their corresponding SYNC button engaged. The Touch Strip provides you with
immediate visual feedback (via its LEDs) to allow you to make necessary adjustments.
You cannot use the Touch Strip for seeking functions on a Remix Deck.
