CUE Button
The CUE button functions as follows:
▪ When the Deck is playing, pressing CUE skips to the Floating Cue Point and stops the
playback.
▪ When the Deck is paused, pressing CUE sets a new Floating Cue Point (which replaces
the previous Floating Cue Point). The track is played back from that Floating Cue Point as
long as the CUE button is held depressed. Upon release, playback stops and skips back to
the Floating Cue Point.
Pressing SHIFT + CUE skips back to the beginning of the track. The playback state (playing or
paused) is left untouched.
PLAY Button
The PLAY button starts/stops the playback of the Deck. The button is lit when the Deck is play-
ing.
Pressing SHIFT + PLAY activates/deactivates the Keylock on the Deck. When the Keylock is
activated, the KEYLOCK indicator lights up in the Deck Display (see TRAKTOR 2 Manual and
↑4.7.3, Another Useful Tool for Synching for more info on key locking).
7.6.2 SYNC Button
The SYNC button.
The SYNC button activates/deactivates the synchronization of the Deck to the current tempo
master (another Deck or the Clock). The button is lit when synchronization is activated.
Activating the synchronization disables the tempo fader if it is in the default Absolute mode.
See section ↑7.3, Using the Tempo Unit for more info.
