and the sound sources included in the unit can be used.
The sound sources included in the unit can be used with external input.
1 Use the [SOURCE] switch to select the channel to which you
want to add oscillator sound.
! [USB-A]: Uses the sound sources of rekordbox dj installed on the PC connected
to USB-A.
! [INT.]: Uses the sound sources of the controller unit.
! [USB-B]: Uses the sound sources of rekordbox dj installed on the PC connected
to USB-B.

! The sound generating method differs depending on the [SOURCE] switch.
! [INT.]: Sound continues to be output while the button is pressed.
! [USB-A]/[USB-B]: In the [Gate Mode] setting of the connected rekordbox, you
can switch between outputting sound while the button is pressed and playing
back to the end of the track if the button is pressed.
For details, see the rekordbox software's manual.
Quitting the oscillator function
Oscillator sound automatically stops after a certain period of time and the
[OSC SAMPLER SELECT] button changes from flashing to lighted.
