Beatjump
The second row of pads (orange) allow you to jump backward and forward in a track in prede-
fined steps, in sync with the track's tempo. By default, the step sizes (from left to right) are:
• Jump back 1 loop size (set per Deck)
• Jump back 1 Bar
• Jump forward 1 Bar
• Jump forward 1 loop size (set per Deck)
You can change the step sizes in TRAKTOR's S8 Preferences:
Preferences:> Traktor Kontrol S8 > Loop Mode Sizes > Beatjump
. For more information,
see the TRAKTOR manual.
• If Quantize is activated, TRAKTOR waits for the next beat before jumping.
• If Quantize is deactivated, TRAKTOR jumps immediately after pressing the pad.

Freeze Mode
Freeze mode takes the playhead position, adds the number of bars set as loop size and splits
this section of a track into eight equally sized slices. These are then mapped to the adjacent
pads, which light up blue. Press any of these pads to trigger playback from the mapped slice.
Playback continues to the end of the track until you release the pad.
In Freeze mode, the numbers 1 - 8 are overlaid on the waveform to indicate the location of the
slices. The first row triggers slices 1 - 4, the second row triggers slices 5 - 8.
