S8's Front Panel

S8's front panel provides direct access to three functions:
(1) A - D switches: Select channel Crossfader assignments here.
(2) XF CURVE knob: Change the Crossfader's blending curve here.
(3) PHONES TRS connectors: Connect headphones here.
For more details about the control elements found on the front panel, refer to section

The Front Panel

4.2

The Deck

This chapter provides a detailed description of how the knobs, buttons and faders in S8's Deck
section relate to the TRAKTOR workflow.

Since the left and right Decks work identically, we'll just talk about the left one. Implicitly,
though, the descriptions also apply to the right Deck.

4.2.1

DECK Button

The

DECK

Button allows you to switch the focus (and controls) between the primary and sec-

ondary Decks in a Deck section.
