Traktor's effects can be tailored to suit many kinds of music performance. Here, Sara Simms shares her secrets for great-sounding techno FX with audio examples.
A good techno record lends itself to a few well-placed effects. Many techno cuts are sparse enough that there's room for DJs to add imaginative effects to tracks and mixes. If you're a DJ who's keen to learn more about how to use Traktor's effects in techno sets, read on...
Delays and Single FX Chains
Delay is an effect that can be creatively used in many ways during sets. There are many types of delay in Traktor, each with a unique sound that should be explored. To learn to use delay, practise using each type of delay in a Single FX unit in Traktor. To create a Single FX unit, open the Preferences, navigate to the Effects section and in the FX Panel mode select Single.
Delay
Traktor's 'standard' delay may be a seemingly common effect in Traktor, but it's capable of producing amazing textures. Begin by loading up Delay into a single FX unit and turn the effect on by pressing the ON button. The Dry/Wet can either be at 50%, or at zero and slowly turned up clockwise. New rhythms can be created by turning the Rate (SPR level) down, then raising it back up again.
Use the EQ on the mixer or the Filter in the delay to cut the bass so only the percussion and hi hats are delayed. Close the FX by gradually turning down the D/W to 0 or pressing ON to turn the FX off. A quick ending tends to sounds best if you turn off the effect on beat with the track.
Delay T3
Start with the Delay T3 on, the D/W down to 0 and the Rate (FR.R) to about 0.25. Slowly raise up the D/W up and once it's at about 50% turn the FR.R on. Experiment with turning the Rate (FR.R) counter clockwise, then clockwise to create interesting sounds and transitions. I find Delay T3 works best with tracks that have sparsely programmed rhythms.
Delay Freeze
The Delay's Freeze parameter can be used to create transitions in a mix where other tracks can be brought in, or the track that's playing can trail out entirely. To use this effect, start with the Delay on in a single FX unit, then push Freeze (FRZ) located underneath the Feedback button. It takes a few seconds for the Delay to fade away, which gives time to mix in other tracks. This technique also works well with the other types of delay, including Ramp Delay and Tape Delay.
Ramp Delay
Ramp delay is a an effect that can produce psychedelic sounding, tripped out delay effects that sound great on techno tracks. Start out with the Dry/Wet (D/W) on the Ramp Delay turned to 50%, the Filter at about 80%, the Duration at 1/4” and the Rate all the way up at 1/32. Ramp Delay sounds best when it's applied during a part of the song with minimal percussion.
Turn on the effect then take the Rate down to 1/16, then turn the rate back up to 1/32. Once you master this, experiment with starting with the D/W control set to Dry at 0 and slowly turn it up while you sweep the Rate control. To transition back into the track, slowly turn the D/W down to 0 for a gradual fade. To turn the Ramp Delay off quickly, simply press either FX 1 or FX 2 (whichever its assigned to) to take the effect out of the mix.
FX Chains and Groups
FX can be used in Groups in Traktor, which mean more than three FX are stacked on top of each other. To create an FX chain, open the Preferences, then Effects and in the FX Panel mode, then select Group.
Beatmasher2 + LaserSlicer + Strrretch (slow)
On one FX Group, choose the BeatBeatmasher2 in the first slot, the LaserSlicer in the second slot and the + Strrretch (slow) in the third slot. This combination of FX can be used to produce trippy stretched out FX that can compliment techno sets. Try slowly turning on each FX on within the group one at a time, and adjusting its parameters to learn what each individual FX sounds like. Once you're comfortable with each effect on its own, try turning on each FX and slowly turning up the D/W so the entire chain is heard together. Adjust each parameter individually and try turning the FX within the chain on and off. Keep adjusting and experimenting and turn off the entire chain by dropping it out (with the ON button) or slowly bringing down the D/W of the chain.
BeatSlicer/ Filter:92 LFO/Delay Chain
Any FX chain that involves delay works great for techno and the BeatSlicer is a useful effect for creating rhythmic interest. In one FX Group, choose the BeatSlicer in the first slot, the Filter:92 LFO in the second slot and the Delay in the third slot. I tried placing the BeatSlicer around eight o'clock and the Filter:92 LFO and Delay around 2 o'clock. Start with the D/W of the chain at zero and slowly bring up the D/W level until the FX chain is audible. Practise adjusting the parameters of the three FX, or simply use the D/W to mix the entire chain in and out of the mix.
Beatmasher Chain
The Beatmasher can be used to create staccato snare fills, and Reverb is placed in this chain to add ambience to the sound. To create the chain, place the Beatmaster2 in the first slot, Formant Filter or Peak Filter in the second slot and the Reverb into the third FX slot in a group. In a minimal section of a track with claps or snares, bring the D/W level of the chain slowly up and adjust the level of the Beatmasher2 until it catches the snare or clap. I find it's best if the Reverb is set to a specific level when the chain is in use, as adjustments to the Reverb make a big difference in the overall sound. Use the Filter to create new rhythms and patterns and play with the snare or clap. Try adjusting the D/W level, and then re-adjust each parameter again within the chain. This is quite a fun chain to play with that can add a lot of interest to minimal tracks.
Final Words
Traktor gives DJs the power to introduce new sounds that can give sets an original flair. Take the time to carefully explore each effect and learn what its capable of! With a little practise, soon you'll start to receive compliments on tastefully placed effects in your sets.

Tekken’s Kontrol S4 MK3 Ultimate Mapping v1.3
This mapping adds new pad modes and some other gimmicks to the default mapping. All of the original controller features are still accessible.
It is possible to combine this mapping with my Kontrol F1 Ultimate mapping but there will be some conflicts if you are using effects with both mappings simultaneously.

1. Installation:
1. Start Traktor and use the “Import” button at the bottom of the Traktor preferences window to load the “Effect Settings v1.0.tsi” into Traktor. It is important to do this import step twice! Otherwise, wrong effects will triggered.
2. In the preferences window, go to “Controller Manager” -> “Add…” -> “Import TSI” -> “Import other” and import the file “Tekken’s Kontrol S4 MK3 Ultimate Mapping v1.3.tsi”. The mapping should now be appear under “Device”.

3. Check if the “In-Port” and “Out-Port” of this new mapping are set to your Kontrol S4 MK3.
4. Delete the original “Traktor.Kontrol S4 MK3” default mapping or other older versions of this mapping (“Edit… -> “Delete”).
2. Usage/new features:
In advance, this mapping is using blinking LED feedback of some buttons. This blinking is only active if at least one deck is playing. If all decks are stopped, the LED feedback is not fully visible.
2.1 New pad modes:
Press one of the “SHIFT” buttons and one of the three pad mode buttons (“Hotcue”/”SAMPLES”/”STEMS”) simultaneously to activate a new pad mode of your desired deck. The selected pad mode button is now blinking to show that one of the new pad modes is activated. Press one of the “SHIFT” buttons and one of the three pad mode buttons simultaneously again to deactivate the new pad mode and switch back to the original mode. Now the pad mode button has stopped its blinking.
2.1.1 SHIFT HOTCUE and SHIFT SAMPLES pad mode (=effects mode)
·Hold one of the eight pads to start a different effect. The Echo Freeze effect starts and stops via toggle and not via hold. If the Echo Freeze effect is activated while switching modes, it automatically deactivates to prevent oblivion.
·Hold all four Beatmasher buttons simultaneously to start a Turntable Stop combo.
·Some effects cannot be combined with each other.
Note that the Traktor Effect Unit 1 is completely unused in this mapping. You can use Unit 1 manually furthermore.
2.1.2 SHIFT STEMS pad mode (=freeze/slicer mode)
The freeze/slicer mode will start as soon as you enter this pad mode. If you want to restart it, you have switch to another pad mode and then switch back to the freeze/slicer pad mode again. Press one of the eight pads to trigger a slice. You can adjust the freeze/slicer size by holding the “STEMS” button while turning the loop encoder.
Tip: Try to activate a loop or enable the flux mode in combination with this mode.
2.2 Effect selection
Turn one of the effect knobs of the effect units while holding one of the “SHIFT” buttons to select an effect. (There was no possibility to select an effect in the originally S4 MK3 mapping.)
2.3 Backward Move Loop
Press one of the “SHIFT” buttons and a loop encoder simultaneously to start a backward move loop. This means that the moment you are activating the loop is not the start point but the ending point of the loop. This can be very useful.
2.4 Finer key adjustment
Turn one of the loop encoders while holding one of the “SHIFT” buttons to change the key in finer adjustments than in the original mapping.
2.5 Duplicate Deck
Press the following combinations to duplicate a deck to another:
Right Shift + Deck A Select=Duplicate Deck B/D to Deck A
Right Shift + Deck C Select=Duplicate Deck B/D to Deck C
Right Shift + Deck B Select=Duplicate Deck D to Deck B
Right Shift + Deck D Select=Duplicate Deck B to Deck D
![]()
Left Shift + Deck B Select=Duplicate Deck A/C to Deck B
Left Shift + Deck D Select=Duplicate Deck A/C to Deck D
Left Shift + Deck A Select=Duplicate Deck C to Deck A
Left Shift + Deck C Select=Duplicate Deck A to Deck C
2.6 Close browse view automatically after loading a track
If you have opened the browse view, it now automatically closes after loading a track.
2.7 Master clock controls
·Hold a “MASTER” button for more than one second and press one of the browse encoders simultaneously to enable the master clock.
·Hold a “MASTER” button for more than one second and turn one of the browse encoders to adjust the master clock.
2.8 Change views
·Press “SHIFT” and “VIEW” simultaneously to change the deck size.
·Hold a “MASTER” button for more than one second and then press one of the “VIEW” buttons simultaneously to select the next layout.
