• Quantization: This setting determines the degree of quantization for time-based features. Select 1/4
Beat, 1/2 Beat, 1 Beat, or 2 Beats.
• Sync Mode: This setting determines the degree of synchronization applied when you press the Sync
button on SC5000 Prime:
o Tempo: Only the tempo will be synced (the BPM will match that of the master deck).
o Beat: The tempo will be synced, and the track will be automatically be beat-matched with the track
on the master unit.
o Bar: The tempo will be synced, and the track will be automatically bar-matched with the track on the
master unit (the downbeats of each bar will be aligned).
• Smart Loops: This setting determines whether or not a manually set loop will be of a conventional length
(e.g., 2 beats, 4 beats, 8 beats, etc.). Select On or Off. This setting works independently of your
