4.1.1 Deck Volume Controls and Crossfader
The Z1 is essentially a two-channel mixer controller. The two channel faders, therefore, control
the volume of Decks A and B in TRAKTOR DJ. If the crossfader is all the way to the left, you
will only hear Deck A (if the volume fader of A is turned up). If it is all the way to the right, you
will hear Deck B (if its volume control is turned up). You will notice that when you move the
Z1's crossfader, the corresponding crossfader in TRAKTOR DJ moves simultaneously.
In TRAKTOR DJ, Deck A is located at the top, and Deck B found below. In TRAKTOR DJ
for the iPhone, the deck view slider indicates that Deck A is located at the top and B at the
bottom.
4.1.2 Adjusting Channel Gain
The channel GAIN knob is located at the top of the Z1's channel filter and EQ sections. Note
that you can only adjust the gain for channels A and B (and their corresponding Decks in
TRAKTOR DJ) using the Z1. You will notice by turning the GAIN knob clockwise that the gain
level of the currently playing deck increases. Vice versa, you will notice by turning the knob
counterclockwise that the gain level of the track playing decreases.
4.1.3 Headphone Cueing
The CUE VOL knob located on the top panel of the Z1 adjusts the volume levels of the head-
phone output. The CUE MIX knob determines whether you hear the main mix only, the cue
channel only, or both signals in your headphones.
Cueing a track in your headphones works in the following way:
1. Load Decks A and B each with a track.
2. Click the play button on both Decks to begin playback.
3. Turn the CUE MIX knob to the center position.
4. Set the headphone volume to a comfortable level by adjusting the CUE VOL knob.
5. With the channel faders up, move the crossfader back and forth to hear one track, then
the other.
6. Move the crossfader all the way to channel A so that you are only hearing the track on
Deck A. At the same time bring the channel volume fader all the way down for channel B.
