User Manual

▪ --AUTO-- (default): This is the default behavior. The buttons can have two sets of func
tions, depending on the type of the Deck underneath:
◦ If the lower Deck is a Sample Deck (which is the default situation), the Sample
Play buttons control the sample slots of this underlying Deck.
◦ If you switched the lower Deck to Track Deck, the Sample Play buttons trigger
Beatjumps on the current Deck, from left to right: 4 beats backward, 1 beat back
ward, 1 beat forward, and 4 beats forward. This is also true for the lower Deck,
when focused.
▪ Beatjump: The Sample Play buttons trigger Beatjumps, from left to right: 4 beats back
ward, 1 beat backward, 1 beat forward, and 4 beats forward, respectively.
▪ Direct Loop: The Sample Play buttons set predefined Loops, from left to right: Loop on
the previous 8 beats, on the previous 4 beats, on the next 4 beats, and on the next 8
beats, respectively.
▪ Hotcue 5-8: With this setting, the Sample Play buttons give you access to Hotcues 5 to
8. All features are the same as with the underlying Hotcue buttons 1-4.
Loop Buttons: The Loop Buttons setting lets you choose alternate functions for the LOOP IN
and LOOP OUT buttons on Track Decks.
Fig. 13-9 The Loop Buttons setting
The Loop section allows you to manipulate Loops in your track.
Following options are available:
▪
Manual Looping (default): When this option is selected, the buttons have manual looping
functions:
◦ When no Loop is active, the LOOP IN button sets a Floating Cue Point, whereas the
LOOP OUT button sets a Loop Out Point and activates a Floating Loop between the
Floating Cue Point (acting as Loop In Point) and this Loop Out Point.
◦ When a Loop is active, holding one of these buttons while spinning the jog wheel
allows you to move the corresponding Loop In Point or Loop Out Point.
▪
Auto Loop: When this option is selected, the buttons have auto looping functions:
◦ When no Loop is active, the LOOP IN and LOOP OUT buttons set and activate a 4-
beat and an 8-beat Floating Loop, respectively.
◦ When a Loop is active, the LOOP IN button halves the Loop’s size while the LOOP
OUT button doubles it.
