TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 MK3 question RE Sample mode

Johnny Dancer

I'm considering buying this controller but nowhere seems to show the sample function being used as a track deck just as remix decks.

Can you use deck C & D in deck mode?

I like to add film/speech samples sometimes short but more often 60sec + over a track, I am not too fussed about EQ but I guess I could manually set it using a mouse?

Thanks for your help 👊

You can use any deck in Traktor Pro as Track deck, Remix deck, Stem deck or live input. You can use Decks C & D too with S2 as the mixing will be done internal in software, but you cannot control decks C&D with factory mapping. But with a second controller you could do this. As you haven't bought yet you should really consider a Kontrol S3: It can control all 4 decks and has XLR outs.

Don't forget to manually set decks C and D to the type Remix Deck (in 'Preferences→Deck Layout'), or the SAMPLE pad mode will not work.
