Native Instruments traktor kontrol s5, Manual

Page: 174 / 211

The channel meter gives visual feedback to set up the optimal signal level. If your source is a
TRAKTOR Deck, the level can be adjusted with the
GAIN knob.
If you connect external turntables or CD Players, use their volume knobs to set the cor-
rect channel level. If S5's input starts clipping, lowering GAIN will make the channel
quieter, but it won't resolve clipping at the input.
Increase level so that you get a steady movement of the blue segments and so that the loudest
passages of your track just barely push the level meter into the orange range. Don't worry, the
MAIN output has massive reserves to drive the P.A. even if you don't push the input as hard as
you can.
4.4.1.6 FILTER Button and FILTER Knob
The FILTER button is an on/off switch for the on-board dual-mode filter. The FILTER knob ei-
ther applies a hi-pass or a low-pass-filter depending on of rotating direction. Rotating the knob
to the right applies a hi-pass filter and rotating to the left applies a low-pass filter.
FILTER button and FILTER knob
Even if the FILTER button is engaged, when the FILTER knob is in its center position,
no filter is applied.
TRAKTOR provides you with different types of dual-mode filters. You can choose the fil-
ter type in the
