Single Mode And Group Mode; Fx Unit Reference - Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 Manual

7.8.1

Single Mode and Group Mode

In TRAKTOR, each FX Unit can work in two different modes:
▪ Group mode: Each FX Unit boards three different FX chained in series. Each FX can be
controlled by one knob and one button.
▪ Single mode: Each FX Unit boards a single FX, which can be fine-tuned via the three
knobs and three buttons of the FX Unit.
As a consequence, the control elements on an FX Unit will have different functions, depending
on the current mode of this FX Unit.
You can set both modes in TRAKTOR's Preferences > Effects > FX Panel Mode.
