36. Slip Mode / Motor Off: Press this button to enable or disable Slip Mode. In Slip Mode, you can
jump to Hot Cue Points, trigger Loop Rolls, or use the platters, while the track's timeline
continues. In other words, when you stop the action, the track will resume normal playback from
where it would have been if you had never done anything (i.e., as if the track had been playing
forward the whole time).
Press and hold Shift and press this button to activate or deactivate the corresponding platter's
motor. This will not affect the track's playback.

Pitch Controls

37. Tap: Tap this button at the same tempo as the track to help the software detect a more accurate
BPM reading.
38. Range / Master Tempo: Press this to adjust the range of the Pitch Fader to ±8%, ±16%, and ±50%.
Press and hold Shift and then press this button to "lock" the track's pitch to its original key. The
track's tempo will remain at the speed designated by the Pitch Fader.
39. Takeover LEDs: When you select the other Deck with the Deck Select switch, the position of the
NS7 III's Pitch Fader may not match the Pitch setting for that Deck in the software. Slowly move
the Pitch Fader in the direction indicated by the Takeover LED arrow until it turns off. At this
point, the Pitch Fader matches the Pitch setting in the software and can control it again.
40. Pitch Fader: Controls the track's playback speed. An LED next to the fader will light up when set
at 0%.
41. 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.
42. 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.
