Using the Effects (FX)
The second fader changes FX control. This will modify the main parameter for the effect. For delay the parameter controls the length of the delay, shorter delays will create more of a stuttering effect where as a long delay will create a sound more like a large room echo. Use the second slider to play with the FX parameter. (Figure 6.15)

Now you can play with the other effects in Traktor by using the top slider.
In parallel to the FX 1 and FX 2 modules, there are also dedicated filters for each deck in Traktor. The filter control allows only certain frequencies to be passed into the mix while other frequencies are removed (or filtered). The filter control can be used either as an effect for drastic changes to a song or as a tool when mixing to remove certain parts of a song while mixing it in.
The last fader in the group allows you to sweep the filter for the associated deck. To play with the filter first make sure it is engaged by pressing the Filter On/Off button and then use the fader to filter the sound. When the slider is set to center position, no effect is heard because neither hi frequencies or low frequencies are being filtered out. (Figure 6.16)
