3. Hot Cue Roll
As long as you hold the pads, hot cue and sampler are repeatedly rolled in sync with the track's BPM.
A drum roll sound, which used to be difficult to create only by pads, can be easily created just by holding these pads.
First, let's look at how Hot Cue is assigned to each Pad.
Hot Cue is assigned to the 8 Pads as shown in Figure 3-1. In Hot Cue Roll mode, Hot Cue can be set and played
in the same way Hot Cue is controlled.

Figure 2-3 Default status of Hot Cue Roll
Load a track to a deck and play it.
When a track is loaded, the Pad where a Hot Cue is set is lit.
When any Hot Cue has not been set, press a Pad to set a Hot Cue.
Now, let's try the Hot Cue Roll function.
Press a Pad, where a Hot Cue has been set, and hold it continuously.
While the Pad is pressed, the Hot Cue is automatically rolled in a cycle of 1/4 beat in sync with the track's BPM.
When you release your hand from the Pad, normal playback comes back.
Next, let's change the beat length of repeating cycle.
Press the [PARAMETER
] or [PARAMETER
] button while holding the Pad to change the beat length of repeating cycle.
Beat length is changed each time the [PARAMETER3] or [PARAMETER4] button is pressed.

Please make sure that Hot Cue is automatically repeated like a roll in a cycle of the beat length shown in the Beat Indicator.

The beat length of the Hot Cue roll is displayed in the Beat Indicator.
The most important things for effective Hot Cue roll is pressing a Pad rhythmically and setting a Hot Cue at a right position,
where a Hot Cue roll is effectively repeated.
Please try setting Hot Cues in many different positions and see how different the Hot Cue Rolls are depending on the positions.
