 Artist, Title & Album - Displays track information (if stored in meta data).
 Tempo – The song's tempo.
 Pitch - The difference between the song's analyzed BPM and the song's
playback tempo in percent. This value also represents the position of the
Pitch fader (view page 19). Just like turntables the pitch is linked to the

 Lock (symbol) - Locks the pitch of the track. If the pitch is locked you can
change the playback speed with the pitch fader, without affecting the pitch of
the track. Be aware that moving the pitch fader drastically results in clearly
audible sound degradations.
 Key - When the tempo is locked (see below) you can change the deck pitch
by dragging vertically, (+/- 12 semi-tones) without affecting the tempo.

Cueing
"Cueing" means choosing a specific point to begin playback from.
Left-click inside the Waveform Display window and move your mouse (or
transport controller) left-and right to move the Playback Position marker to the

track, regardless of its length. By left clicking in this field you can jump to the
desired position quicker, it is not as accurate however. The QUANT and SNAP
(see below (view page 19)) functions can help out by ensuring
the the tracks
remained beat matched.
