Using the Tempo Faders
The S4 allows you to control the tempo of a track/s playing in TRAKTOR DJ by manually ad-
justing the Track Deck's tempo. Adjusting the tempo of the currently playing track's tempo ad-
justs the global tempo of TRAKTOR DJ. By default, the track playing will play at the currently
selected tempo setting of the Tempo fader. The Tempo fader by default provides you with the
opportunity to maneuver through a range of 8% of the tempo. There may be occasions, for ex-
ample a track transition where you wish to navigate your way to a much faster or slower tempo
for a track. You can do so via:
1. Depending on whether you want to speed up or slow down a track's tempo, ensure that
the S4's TEMPO fader is pushed to either end of its range (+ or -).
2. Hold SHIFT and then return the TEMPO slider to its central slider point. On releasing the
SHIFT button, you can now work your way through the next BPM range (a range of 10
bpm, either faster or slower), you can repeat this process to speed up or slow down your
tracks as you choose.
TRAKTOR DJ allows you to utilize a tempo range of: 8%, 12%, 25% or 50%
Reset Button
The RESET buttons are located above the TEMPO Sliders on the S4. When pressed the but-
tons illuminate orange, and will return a track to its original tempo.
This can be a useful feature when performing some creative mix transitions between tracks
of significantly different tempo ranges.
