DJ2 controller If you use Traktor versions before 3 0 you should check the settings in the system mode so that the joysticks controls the right parameter See chapter settings in the system mode joystick mode For Traktor 3 0 you should first secure that you have got two effect panels for the traktor detail area You switch one to deck A and one to deck B Now you can choose the deck effects with the Kill key in combination with the shift key and switch them on or off with the according green key to the right After you switched an effect on for example the filter try to move the joystick in all directions to see what happens The Y direction vertically controls the amount and the X direction horizontally controls the cutoff frequency So you can control the two most important effect parameter with one hand at the same time which is not as easy with two pots If you want to control all 4 parameters switch the EQ pots to effect control hold shift and the black key next to the FX LED until the LED blinks By doing that you can control parameter 2 to 4 of the Traktor 3 0 effects with the 3 pots When using the two lower black keys in the encoder sections and holding the shift key you can choose the deck you want to use the effects on The two green LED s below the joystick indicate which deck is chosen FX1 deck A C FX2 deck B D You can also control all of the 4 effect keys in Traktor with the green buttons since you can c

Synchronise the tracks by pressing the sync key for deck B grey key without any labelling right above the transport section In order to find the right starting point you can forward the track with the encoder seek scratch LED has to be on After you found a suitable starting point stop the deck and start up this point exactly with the scratch function turn the encoder whilst you press it Then you can start the deck at this starting point with the cue play key or go back to this point with the cue pause key With this function you can start the track from that point so many times until it is beat synchron to the track in deck A Once it is synchron to the track in deck A you can begin with your mix put linefader B up and move the crossfader as fast or slowly as you like to the middle and there we go Of course another order is possible as well just as you like to mix Because the internal sync function does not always work well you can synchronise the tracks yourself After you switch the encoder to pitch you can use it for controlling the tempo You can adjust the step width very sensitive with about 0 01 BPM By turning it more quickly the step width gets bigger If the tracks are not synchron anymore you should accelerate them or slow them down with the blue pitchbend keys to adjust them again Just press the key for a short while micromodul DJ2 Page 5 User manual Want to use an effect This is no problem with the
