As any DJ mixer, the Mixer’s purpose basically is to adjust the relative level of each channel, to
control the channels’ frequency content, possibly feeding them into the FX Units (see section
↑6.1.3, FX Units) before sending the overall result to the Main section (3) — and in the end, to
generate the mix that is sent to your audience. Of course, the Mixer also provides you with a
crossfader (4), which allows you to make seamless transitions between various channels.
The Mixer of your TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 hardware controller has a few additional features
not to be found on usual DJ mixers, though. For example, it includes a BROWSE encoder (5)
for quickly browsing your Playlist content, along with a set of indicators in the Master Display
(6) that give you quick access to vital information and options. You will find a detailed descrip-
tion of every control element on the Mixer in section ↑7.7, Using the Mixer.
Mixer-related controls dealing with the physical inputs and outputs of your TRAKTOR KON-
TROL S2 are also to be found on the front and rear panels of your S2 (see section ↑6, Hard-
ware Overview).

to playing audio can tremendously expand the sonic possibilities of your mix.
For that purpose, TRAKTOR provides you with a great selection of high-quality FX. These FX
can be loaded into the so-called FX Units.
