1.
Hold
SHIFT
and press the FX Button 1 repeatedly to scroll through all available FX until
the Gater is selected in the first slot of the FX Unit 1 in TRAKTOR.
2.
If the first FX slot is currently deactivated, press the FX Button 1 to activate it (the button
must be lit).
→
You hear the Gater cutting the audio at regular intervals.
You might want to deactivate the FX Buttons 2 and 3 in order to better hear how the Gater
affects the audio.
Tempo-synchronized FX
Now try the following:
►
Set the FX Knob 1 to various positions and listen to the resulting effect on the audio.
→
You’ll notice that the gating effect stays synchronized to the beat! Among other things,
this can be very useful to temporarily emphasize the rhythm, e.g., by transitions between
tracks.
You can check this by moving the tempo fader on the right Deck: by pulling the fader
downwards, you hear the track playing faster… and the Gater following.

Single Mode
You can also switch each FX Unit to Single mode. Instead of multiple FX with one parameter
each, Single mode will give you one FX but with much more control over its parameters.
This time, we will do it on the right FX Unit (labeled FX2) of your S2:
1.
In case your right FX Unit is set to Group mode, go to
Preferences > Effects > FX Panel
Mode
and choose
Single
from the
FX2
drop-down menu to switch that FX Unit to Single
mode.
2.
Press
SHIFT
+ FX On button for the FX Unit to load an FX. You can hold
SHIFT
depressed
and continue to press the FX On button to cycle through all the available FX until you see
an effect you’d like to try.
3.
Press the same FX On button (this time without
SHIFT
) to turn on the FX Unit globally.
The FX On button lights up.
