The DECK button lights blue when a primary Deck (A or B) is focused and white when the sec-
ondary Deck (
C or D) is focused.
4.3 The FX Unit
Above the Decks, the S5 features two FX Units which can be assigned to any of the Decks.
Four knobs and buttons per FX Unit allow you to control effects parameters in real time. Just
like in the software, FX Unit 1 is located in the top-left corner, FX Unit 2 in the top-right.
FX Units 1 and 2
FX Units allow you to creatively process a track, ranging anywhere from just adding reverb for a
build-up to completely messing up a beat with stutter effects. For that purpose, the TRAKTOR
software offers a great selection of high-quality FX. These can easily be configured from S5
and be controlled utilizing the FX Unit controls.
