Temporary Cue - Novation TWITCH User Manual

English
Visual aid: cue Point Status
Notice that the radius bar on the Virtual Deck jumps to the 12 o'clock position and changes
colour when you set a cue point. This can be used to confirm that the playhead is at a cue
point. Also, as the track plays from the cue point, the coloured portion of the radius bar will
shorten by a fifth for each rotation. Likewise, as the cue point is approached, the coloured
portion will lengthen. Note also that the bar has eight different colours, each corresponding to
one of the eight cue points.
On TWITCH, the LEDs on the Touchstrip scroll from left to right during playback at the same rate as
the rotating virtual deck. When a Cue is triggered, the LEDs restart their scrolling at the left.

temporary cue

The Temporary Cue function allows you to set a cue point within a track, which is not saved to
the file. This is useful for marking a point in a track and then easily starting again from this point
as you get your mix right. While paused you can use the Touchstrip to fine tune the playhead
placement to ensure your cue point is set exactly on a downbeat.
Providing no temporary cue is already set, pressing the CUE button while playback is
34
paused will create one at the current playhead location. Once the cue is set, holding the CUE
button while still in Pause will play from the temporary cue point until the button is released;
then playback will pause and the playhead returns to the cue position. This is good for
stuttering at the start of a track.
If you press the H B button whilst you are holding down the CUE button, playback will continue
when you let both buttons go. This allows you to cue a track in from pause mode and then
continue playback once you know the mix is right.
To change the location of a cue point, pause the deck with the playhead at a different location
and press the CUE button again. The temporary cue point is also useful to start repeatedly from
a preset point in the track. This allows you to easily drop in a few times until you get it right.
Note that the CUE button has a "default" position at the track start. If no cue point has been stored,
pressing it during playback will return the playhead to the start of the track and pause there.
