4.2 The Deck
 
This chapter provides a detailed description of how the knobs and buttons on S5's Decks relate
to the TRAKTOR workflow.
S5 features two identically equipped Deck sections at the far left and right sides of the unit.
These  give  you  hardware  control  over  the  software  Decks  in  the  TRAKTOR  software.  Active
TRAKTOR Decks always work in one of the Deck modes, as Track Deck, Stem Deck or Remix
Deck.
Since  the  left  and  right  Decks  work  identically,  we'll  just  talk  about  the  left  one.  Implicitly,
though, the descriptions also apply to the right Deck.
The left-hand Deck controls TRAKTOR's Decks A and C. The entire section can be focused on
either the primary (A) or secondary (C) Deck. The positions of Decks on S5 are consistent with
the Deck layout in TRAKTOR:
▪ The left-hand Deck controls TRAKTOR Decks 
A (on top) and C (below).
▪ The right-hand Deck controls TRAKTOR Decks 
B (on top) and D (below).
The  following  image  and  table  give  a  detailed  overview  of  the  Deck's  elements  and  provide
links referring to sections with further information.
