Slipping the Beat Grid
If your Beat Grid is aligned perfectly with the track's transients but the track's Downbeat Marker
is incorrect or the groove or feel is sounding slightly out, you may need to slip the Beat Grid.
This will move the entire Beat Grid relative to the track, to get a perfect match to the other
track's groove.
To slip the Beat Grid, press both the SHIFT
and ADJUST
buttons while using a "swipe
48
47
gesture" on the Touchstrip (see below).

Synching tracks

Tracks playing on the two decks may be synced together in two ways; which method is used will
be determined by whether Beat Grids have been established (and enabled) for the tracks.
Sync Behaviour with Beat Grids
Press SYNC on a deck to synchronise the Beat Grid of the currently loaded track to that of the
track on the other deck.
The Master Clock, displayed in the virtual deck area
– see page 43, now displays the
21
tempo that the both decks are playing at. If a deck has sync engaged, its number in the Master
Clock is green - also the SYNC button on TWITCH will light. Adjusting the pitch on either deck
now adjusts the tempo of the master clock, which adjusts both decks.
You can still use the Touchstrip to manipulate the audio, however the tracks can fall out of sync.
Press SYNC again to re-sync the tracks.
To take a deck out of sync, press SHIFT + SYNC. The deck's number in the master clock is
no longer green and the SYNC button on TWITCH is no longer lit. When a deck is taken out of
sync, it will revert to its original BPM.
