Tempo Bending With The Touch Strip
Please note, in TRAKTOR's Preferences, you can invert the Bend direction. If activated,
swiping to the right slows down a Deck.
Scratching
To scratch with the track loaded in a Deck, with playback stopped, swipe your finger across the
Touch Strip. To simulate the behavior of a turntable, the swiping motion translates to move-
ment of the playhead within the track. TRAKTOR plays back what's under the playhead, which
is why the speeding up and slowing down of that motion produce similar pitch changes as us-
ing an LP and turntable.
• Move your finger to the left to play forward, just like you would with the near side of an
LP.
• Swipe to the right to play backwards.
• Stop the movement to stop playback.
You can hear the results of these actions right away.
