So far in the video series, we've demonstrated the browse, transport looping
and the hot cue functions of the Kontrol X1.
The next thing we're going to look at is the FX section.
It's one thing having dozens of effects at your disposal,
but it really takes the fun out of it if you can't access them quickly and easily.
Thankfully, that's one of the coolest features of the Kontrol X1
where we're treated to direct push-button access to Traktor's powerful FX section.
When using effects in the Chained mode,
like we are with FX unit 1 on the left hand side,
the X1 provides direct access to 3 effects per deck at any one time
with the ability to switch the effect on or off
as well as control all of the parameters as well as the dry/wet controls.
The controller is natively mapped to use delay, reverb and filter in FX slot 1, 2 and 3.
Okay, so let's have a look at how this works...
you can switch delay, in FX slot 1...
and adjust the parameter...
...adjust the dry/wet control...
...it can have some reverb
you can even stick on a filter if you want to.
There you go!
You can of course select any combination of effects you want, by pressing “shift”,
then pressing either FX button 1, 2, or 3
and you can scroll through all the available effects on Traktor.
