essarily start on the beat.

to perfectly match.

• Disable Quantize mode, if you want to trigger tracks or Samples any time you press play or

trigger Hotcue buttons.

7.11. Using Flux and Reverse Modes

Flux mode lets you jump to Cue Points and Loops without loosing the phrasing of your tracks. It is

a timeline-based transport technique that enables you to interact with TRAKTOR's transport con-

trols, and then immediately jump back to the position in the timeline where the track would have

been if the transport action had not been used. In other words, it is as if a second, virtual playhead

continues forwards in the track, while TRAKTOR loops or jumps to a Cue Point.

When you release the Loop or Cue Point, by releasing the relevant Pad with the Hotcue, playback

resumes at this playhead position. The longer you loop, the further ahead the playhead position

will move and therefore the further ahead playback will jump to when you release Pad. The virtual

Flux mode timeline is represented by a green playhead in the Waveform view.

An expansion to the Flux mode is the Reverse mode. When you enable Reverse mode while in

Flux mode, you can let the track playback reversely from the current playhead position. The sec-

ond, virtual playhead continues forwards in the track.
