Using FREEZE Mode

Freeze Mode provides the opportunity to instantly create a set of temporary cue markers (or Sli-
ces) from the current playback position on a Track Deck or Remix Deck. These Slices can be
triggered in real time, similar to triggering HotCues. When Freeze Mode is engaged you can use
the S8 controller to trigger Slices to perform finger drumming techniques for creating interest-
ing sound effects. While FREEZE mode is engaged, the corresponding display shows a FREEZE
mode overlay so you can see the location of the slices.
