Sample Play Buttons
The Sample Play Buttons  menu lets you  choose alternate functions  for  the four Sample  Play
buttons on Track Decks.
The Sample Play Buttons setting.
The Sample Play buttons’ default behavior on Track Decks is thoroughly described in sec-
tion.
The following options are available:
▪ --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 Remix  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 Beat-
jumps on the current Deck, from left to right: 4 beats backward, 1 beat backward, 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.
