Fader and Knob Calibration of TRAKTOR KONTROL Devices

This article explains how to calibrate the faders and / or knobs of your TRAKTOR KONTROL device.

Note: the TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 MK3 and S3 do not allow their controls to be recalibrated.

Symptoms

  • The faders move by themselves or jitter in the TRAKTOR software.
  • The faders have been moved all the way down yet sound is still audible through your speakers or headphones.
  • The faders have been moved all the way up yet the sound level in your speakers or headphones is not as high as it should be.
  • The fader or knob position in the TRAKTOR software does not correspond with the fader position on your TRAKTOR controller.
