Storing A Cue Point:
Once you have set your CUE Point by one of the two means listed on page 16, you may store your cue point
in one of the FLASH BUTTONS (8). Once you store this cue point in memory you may recall it at any time and
you may even recall if the disc has been remove or power had been disconnected. You may store a maximum
of three cue points per a disc and maximum of 384 cue points can be saved in unit's memory. The MEMORY
BUCKET (55) in the LCD DISPLAY (19) will approximate the available memory. Either a CUE POINT or a
SAMPLE (See creating a sample loop on page 17) can be stored into a FLASH BUTTON (8), not both. To
Store a cue point:
1) Create a Cue Point by one of the two means listed on page 14. Press the MEMORY BUTTON (9), as
in Figure 17. The red Memory Cue LED will glow indicating the store memory function has been activated.
You may now press any one of the three FLASH BUTTONS (8) to store your cue point into memory (Figure
18). After pressing one of the FLASH BUTTONS (8), the corresponding Flash Button LED will flash briefly.
The LED on the above the FLASH BUTTON (8) will remain lit indicating either a sample or cue point is stored

10. CREATING AND PLAYING A SEAMLESS LOOP
A seamless loop is a sound loop that plays continuously without sound interruption. You can use this loop to
create dramatic effect in your mixing. This loop has no time limit and you could actually loop the entire length
of disc. You create a seamless loop between two continuous points of a disc.
