Push the Play button to start or stop playback. The Led indicates activation or deactivation of Play, at
track end warning the Play Led is blinking.
The Cue button has multiple functions depending on the playback state of the track. On a paused
deck, pushing Cue sets a new current cue Point at the current play position. In Snap mode this cue
point will snap to the beat nearest the play position. Pushing Cue during playback jumps the current
play position back to the previously set current cue point and stops playback.
The Cup button behaves similarly to Cue, but stops playback as long as it is held down. On a paused
deck, pressing Cup sets a current cue point and starts playback when upon releasing the button.
Clicking Cup during playback jumps the current play position back to the current cue point and pauses
playback. Release the button to resume playback.
Push the Shift and >A,B,C,D button to load a running track in to another deck where it will run
synchronously.
Push the Sync button, to automatically match the tempo and the phase of the playing track to:
the master deck or the master clock, if no deck is selected as master deck. The Sync button can be
left permanently on. However, sometimes a deck cannot be synced at the moment, then the Sync
button on the screen will be appear half-lit.
The Master Deck gives the target tempo to which other decks can sync. In Auto mode Traktor will
automatically select the Master Deck depending on which track has the longest uninterrupted
playtime. In Manual mode the master deck can be selected by pessing the Master button on the
desired deck.
The Phase meter is a visual reference for syncing tracks. It shows you if a track is in or out of sync
with the Master Deck or the Master Clock. If two tracks’ Phases are synced, the meter will stay in the
middle. If one track’s phase is shifted backward, a green or red led will appear left of the center
marker. If a track’s phase is shifted forward, a green or red led will appear right of the center marker.
The Pitch Bend buttons are used if two tracks are playing at the same tempo, but their phase is
slightly shifted. This is similar to nudging a record to slow down or speed up as the tracks go slightly
out of sync. Press the Bwd button to slightly slow down the track and the Fwd button to speed it up.
By pushing the Shift and Pitch Bend Bwd button at the same time, the Phase Meter is switched off.
Pushing the Shift and Pitch Bend Fwd button, the Phase Meter is switched on.
