Traktor Kontrol X1 features a total of 30 buttons, 4 push encoders and 8 knobs arranged in the following sections:
-Effects Section
-8 high resolution potentiometers and 8 buttons make up the effect section of Traktor Kontro. This section allows control of all the
parameters of 2 Traktor effect units simultaneously. In Chained mode, this means simultaneous control over 3 effects per deck. The
effects section buttons are programmed to give direct access to 3 of your favorite effect presets.
-Browse Section
-One push encoder per deck is dedicated to browsing through play lists and loading tracks. Simply turn the push encoder to find the track
you want, and push it to load it into the corresponding deck. Once the track is loaded the same encoders seek through the track, using
tempo sync'd beat jumps to remain in time.
-Loop Section
-This section allows for intuitive control of Traktor's loop function, giving clear visual feedback about the loop status via LEDs. The section
offers first level access to auto loops and manual loops as well as loop editing functions such as loop size and loop position, both coarse
and fine.
-Transport Section
-This section provides direct access to basic playback controls as well as shifted access to 8 secondary functions for each deck. All buttons
for industry standard workflows (Play, Sync, Cue + Cup) are located here. Switch to hotcue mode and you get another 16 buttons for
controlling the 8 hot cues or hot loops per track. Plus, the CUP button flashes in time with the deck's BPM as an added visual mix
