1.2 Where to Start
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 installation provides you with many information sources. These are in­tended to be read in the following sequence to ensure easy access for users of all skill levels:

Where to Start

▪ TRAKTOR Getting Started
▪ TRAKTOR Manual
▪ TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 Manual (this document)
Your First Stop: Getting Started
This document guides you through configuration of TRAKTOR to work with a hardware control­ler by means of the Setup Wizard, as well as importing music into your Track Collection. After­wards, it introduces you to TRAKTOR's basic concepts and workflows and helps you set up your system correctly.
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 - Manual - 11
Welcome to the World of TRAKTOR KONTROL S5!
TRAKTOR Manual
The Manual helps you learn all of the workflows which make TRAKTOR a unique DJing solu­tion. In addition to learning to use TRAKTOR's core features, this document gives advice on working in various configurations; from using TRAKTOR in the most basic setup on its own to integrating turntables, external DJ mixers and audio interfaces, as well as the SCRATCH exten­sion.
Access the TRAKTOR manual via TRAKTOR's Help menu. The 'Open Manual...' entry will open the Documentation sub-folder inside TRAKTOR's application folder.
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 Manual
The S5 Manual picks up where controlling TRAKTOR features from the S5 are concerned. A detailed tutorial section guides you through accessing the basics like loading tracks, mixing, setting cue points, looping, and using Remix Decks from S5.
Next, a comprehensive Hardware Reference details each and every component you will en­counter on the TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 controller. The later chapters of this manual provide additional information on solving common issues, and the device's full technical specification.
Where to Start
CONTROLLER EDITOR Manual
Besides using S5 with the dedicated TRAKTOR software, you can also use it as a powerful and highly versatile MIDI controller with any other MIDI-capable application or device. This is made possible by the CONTROLLER EDITOR software, an application which allows you to as­sign MIDI controller messages to S5's pads, knobs, faders and encoders. The CONTROL­LER EDITOR is usually automatically installed during TRAKTOR's installation. For more infor­mation on this, please refer to the CONTROLLER EDITOR Manual available as a PDF file in the Documentation subfolder of the CONTROLLER EDITOR installation folder on your hard disk.

Using Your S5—Getting Started

2 Using Your S5—Getting Started
This section will guide you through the most common tasks you will encounter during your work with TRAKTOR KONTROL S5. Most of the tutorials included are workflow-oriented. They start with the simplest tasks and progressively lead you to more complex operation, helping you to become familiar with TRAKTOR KONTROL S5.
The tutorials presented here make use of the included demo tracks, which were automatically copied to your hard disk during the TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 installation procedure. Therefore, you can follow these tutorials even if you haven't imported your own music.
General Prerequisites
We assume here that your TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 system is already up and running. If that's not the case, please follow the instructions in the separate Setup Guide and return to this chapter when you are ready.
In case you already changed some settings in TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 before you start with these tutorials, we strongly recommend you to reset your TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 system to the factory settings by doing the following:
1. In the TRAKTOR software, click the Help menu in the menu bar at the top of your screen (on Mac OS X) or at the top of the window (on Windows), and select Help > Start Setup Wizard.
2. In the window that opens, click Next to skip the setup screens.
3. On the YOUR TRAKTOR SETUP screen, click Finish at the bottom right corner without se­lecting anything else.
⇨ Your TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 is now reset to the factory settings.
The tutorials presented here assume that TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 is in its default factory state. If it’s not the case, we cannot guarantee that you will experience what is described here, and as a result you might find it difficult to follow the instructions.

2.2 Playing Your First Track
In this tutorial, you will learn how to load and play back a track, how to check the audio out­puts and how to quickly troubleshoot your system if no music can be heard. Before you pro­ceed, ensure the following prerequisites are met:
Prerequisites
We assume your S5 is in the following state:
▪ The left Deck is focused on Track Deck A.
▪ The Crossfader is set all the way to the left.
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 - Manual - 21
Using Your S5—Getting Started
Playing Your First Track
▪ On channel A, the channel fader is set to minimum, the EQ knobs, the GAIN knob, and the
Filter knob are set to center position.
▪ The MAIN knob is set to minimum.

2.2.1 Loading a Track

Let’s load the track “Techno 1” from the included demo tracks on to Deck A.
Since Deck A is in the top-left part of the TRAKTOR window, we will use the left Deck on your S5. You can check this by looking at the left Deck’s display: you should see a blue indicator reading A:
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 - Manual - 22

Playing Your First Track
The Deck Display with DECK A indicator.
While looking at the left Deck's display reading No Track Loaded. Push Browse Knob, do the following:
1. Press the BROWSE encoder of the left Deck to open the Browser.
2. Navigate to the folder FAVORITES > Demo Tracks.

↑2.2.3, If You Don’t Hear the Track.
Each Deck Has Its Own Channel
The audio playing on each Deck can be further shaped by the controls on the corresponding channel of the Mixer. Since the track is loaded on Deck A, you can control its sound on chan­nel A:
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 - Manual - 26
Using Your S5—Getting Started
Playing Your First Track
The Channel A.
2.2.3

If You Don’t Hear the Track

If the track is playing but the audio coming through your amplification system is not loud enough, or if there is no sound at all, check the following:
TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 - Manual - 27
Using Your S5—Getting Started
▪ At the bottom of your S5, verify that the Crossfader is moved all the way to the left:
▪ Above, the channel fader should be raised in channel A:

TRAKTOR KONTROL S5 - Manual - 28
Using Your S5—Getting Started
Playing Your First Track
▪ The channel meter should show some activity. If not, check that the HI, MID, and LOW
knobs in channel A are set to the center position.
▪ At the top of the channel, adjust the input level by turning the GAIN knob.
▪ At the top center of the Mixer, the MAIN knob should be turned at least part of the way to
the right. You should see the MAIN meters moving:
If you see some activity on the MAIN meters of your S8 but don’t hear any sound, then double­check the connection starting with the cable going from the S8’s Main Outputs to your PA.

Mixing In a Second Track

2.3 Mixing In a Second Track
Now that you have learned how to load and play a track from the S5, let’s mix in a second track on Deck B. By doing so, you will learn a few mixing basics which are essential for every DJ: how to cue tracks, synchronize tracks, start the playback at the right position, and mix the tracks together using the Crossfader.
Prerequisites
We assume here that your S5 is in the following state:
▪ The track “Techno 1” is loaded into Deck A. The track is playing and audible.
▪ The right Deck is focused on Track Deck B.
▪ The Crossfader is all way to the left.
▪ On channel B, the channel fader is set to minimum, the EQ knobs and the GAIN knob are
set to the center position.
