SYNC Button when in Sync
►
While playing, press SHIFT + SYNC to set a Deck as the Tempo Master.
→
The Deck's tempo becomes the tempo reference for all other synced Decks and FX. S8's
display shows MASTER in the Deck header of the Master Deck.
The SYNC button takes on different states to provide visual feedback:
• If the Deck is BPM-synced and in phase with the Tempo Master, the button is bright
green.
• If the Deck is BPM-synced but out of phase with the Tempo Master, the button is bright
red.
• If the Deck is unsynced, the button is dim green.
If a focused Deck gets out of phase, you can compensate by:
►
Swiping your finger across the corresponding Touch Strip to re-align the beat phase.
►
Pressing the SYNC button twice to snap back into sync with the Tempo Master.
SHIFT Button
The SHIFT button is a modifier for other control elements on the S8. It allows you to access
secondary functions, just like the [Ctrl] ([Cmd] on Mac OS X) key on your computer keyboard
does.

To access a button's or knob's secondary function, hold SHIFT and then use that control
