The four digit BPM reading of the audio input signal will be displayed here. Also, information

will be displayed in [LOOP EDIT] and [BPM EDIT] modes.

This button is used to erase ALL six loops simultaneously.

These six buttons are used to record and playback the loop samples. Each button has a pre-

determined sample length in musical ‘beats’ - 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 beat loops are available.

This switch selects the three sample modes. CYCLIC mode automatically creates the loop

and plays it around continuously, HOLD mode re-starts the sample each time the button is pressed which allows
you to play short bursts of audio whilst REVERSE mode plays the sample backwards when the button is pressed.

SoundBITE uses the headphone output on your mixing desk for its’ audio input

source so connect your headphones to this socket for normal DJ monitoring purposes.

This button is used to over-record any pre-recorded loop samples.

This button is used to clear the BPM reading and tap in a tempo if there is

no defined beat information available. Also, when pressed and held down, the [EDIT] jog dial selects the active
range for the BPM engine - 60 to 120, 90 to 180 and 115 to 230BPM range settings are available.

This button is used to disengage and re-engage the BPM engine.
