◦ When a Loop is active, holding one of these buttons while spinning the jog wheel al-
lows 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.
Tempo Faders
The Tempo Faders setting allows you to switch the TEMPO faders between Absolute mode and
Relative mode.
The Tempo Faders setting.
▪ Absolute (default): The tempo fader in the software Deck directly mirrors the TEMPO fad-
er position on your S4.
▪ Relative : The TEMPO fader on your S4 affects the tempo fader on the software Deck rela-
tively to its current position, even if this position does not match the position of the TEM-
PO fader on your hardware. This has the benefit of solving all possible offset-related is-
sues occurring when you change the software Deck’s tempo by any other means (e.g. syn-
chronizing the Deck to another tempo, switching the Deck focus, or moving the tempo
fader in the software):
◦ There is no more risk of any tempo jump when you touch the TEMPO fader.
◦ The Tempo Offset buttons have the same functionality as in Absolute mode (indicat-
ing any offset between software and hardware faders, among other things). Additional-
ly, they allow you to shift the range of the TEMPO fader: pressing a Tempo Offset but-
ton when both are unlit moves the range down/up by half range (e.g. by 6 % for the
default range ±6 %). The tempo fader in the software Deck jumps accordingly.
◦ Like in Absolute mode, you can move the handle of the TEMPO fader to another posi-
tion without altering the software Deck’s tempo by holding SHIFT depressed while
moving the fader. This is not only useful to cover the whole range of the tempo fader
in the software (should there be any offset between hardware and software faders), but
