26. MODE – Press this to switch between Manual Mode and Autoloop Mode, which changes the functions of the bottom four LOOP
CONTROL buttons. In Manual Mode, the LOOP CONTROL buttons function as IN, OUT, SELECT, and RELOOP (explained
above). In Autoloop Mode, the LOOP CONTROL buttons will set 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-beat loops, respectively. Each loop will start at
the Audio Pointer's location when the button is pressed.
Note: Due to the way the software analyzes beats per minute (BPM), the length of 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-beat loops will vary between
tracks with different BPM readings.
27. 1/2 X – Press this to halve the length of the selected loop.
28. 2 X – Press this to double the length of the selected loop.
29. SHIFT LEFT ( ) – Press this to shift the selected loop to the left. It will move left the same distance as the length of the loop
itself.
30. SHIFT RIGHT ( ) – Press this to shift the selected loop to the right. It will move right the same distance as the length of the loop
itself.
TRACK CONTROLS
31. STRIP SEARCH – The length of this strip represents the length of the entire track. Place your finger on a point along this sensor
to jump to that point in the track. (If you want to scroll through a track, we recommend using your computer rather than running
your finger along the strip.)
32. TRACK FORWARD (
33. TRACK BACK ( ) – Press this to skip to the beginning of the current track. If the Audio Pointer is within the first few seconds of
the current track, pressing it will skip to the previous track.
PITCH CONTROLS
34. TAP – Tap this button at the same tempo as the track to help the software detect a more accurate BPM reading.
35. SCRATCH OFF – Press this to disable the PLATTER's motor and bring it to a stop.
36. KEYLOCK – If you have changed the pitch of the track, you can press the KEYLOCK button to return the track's pitch to its original
key. The track's tempo will remain at the speed designated by the PITCH FADER.
37. PITCH RANGE – Press this to adjust the range of the PITCH FADER to ±8%, ±16%, and ±50%.
38. PITCH FADER – Controls the track's playback speed. An LED next to the fader will light up when set at 0%.
39. PITCH BEND ( + / – ) – Press or hold down either of these buttons to temporarily adjust the track's playback speed. When
released, the track playback will return to the speed designated by the PITCH FADER.
40. BPM METER – This meter is an aid for matching the tempo of both decks. When the white center LED is lit, the BPMs are
matched. Otherwise, the meter will tend towards the faster deck. The further from center, the greater the difference between the
two BPMs.
The meter is also an aid while adjusting Loop In or Loop Out points. If you are making fine adjustments to your Loop In or Loop
Out points using the PLATTERS, the lit LED will "wrap around" the meter. It will rest on the white center LED whenever the loop's
length has been doubled or halved exactly.
Note: The BPM METER will aid in loop adjustments only if (1) a BPM reading has been entered for that track and (2) the two
Decks' tempos have been synchronized.
NAVIGATION CONTROLS
41. SCROLL KNOB – Use this knob to scroll through lists of tracks, Crates, etc. in the software. You can also press it to move
