Native Instruments traktor kontrol s5 - Controller Overview

Sections on S5's Top side
The top panel of the TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 is divided into three main areas:
(1) Decks: The Decks are the place where tracks, Stem Files, and Samples are played back. For
more information on the Decks and its elements refer to section
4.2, The Deck.
(2) FX Units: Adding effects to playing audio can tremendously expand the sonic possibilities of
your mix. For that purpose, TRAKTOR provides you with a great selection of high-quality FX.
These FX can be loaded into the so-called FX Units. For more information on FX Units, refer to
section
4.3, The FX Unit.
(3) Mixer: The mixer receives the audio signals coming from the Decks. As any DJ mixer, the
Mixers purpose basically is to adjust the relative level of each channel, to control the chan-
nels frequency content, possibly feeding them into the FX Units before sending the overall re-
sult to the Main section and in the end, to generate the mix that is sent to your audience. For
more information on the mixer and on its elements, refer to section
4.4, The Mixer.
