SETTING HOT CUES

During playback or in pause mode, press HOT CUE 1, 2, 3 or

Once pressed, the programmed HOT CUE (1, 2, 3 or 4) should 
now be illuminated. To delete a hot cue, press shift (4) and select 
the hot cue to be deleted

PLAYING HOT CUES

During playback or in pause mode, press HOT CUE 1, 2, 3 or 4 
(12) and playback starts instantaneously from the point recorded 
on that HOT CUE.

SETTING A MANUAL LOOP

During playback, press LOOP IN (14) at the desired starting 
position for the loop (loop in point). Press LOOP OUT / ADJUST 
(15) at the desired ending position for the loop (loop out 
position). The loop out point is now set, and loop playback 
starts from the loop in point.

ADJUSTING A LOOP

To adjust the loop once the loop is set, press the IN (14) button 
to adjust the in point or press the OUT / ADJUST button to 
adjust the out point. The length of the loop can be adjusted by 
rotating the jogwheel (11) to move the loop point. When the loop 
points are correct, press the IN or OUT button to set and exit. 
Press the /2 button to half the size of the loop, press the x2 
button to double the size of the loop.

CANCELING A LOOP

disengage the loop. Playback continues after the loop out point.

RETURNING TO A LOOP

After canceling a set loop, press RELOOP/EXIT (17) 
during playback to reengage the last set loop. Loop playback 
begins at the loop in point.

SHRINKING OR EXTENDING A LOOP

Once a loop is active, it is possible to double or halve its size 
by using the “/2” and “x2” buttons (SHIFT + IN or OUT/ADJUST 
buttons).  This can be used (for instance) to create breakdowns 
and drops in songs.

AUTO BEAT LOOP

Press any of the AUTO LOOP buttons (14 and 15) to set a 1 or 4 
beat loop. The corresponding button will light up when the loop 
is active. Auto beat loops are set based on current BPM of track.

AUTO LOOP ROLL

Press shift and the x2 button (18) to activate loop roll mode. 
Press and hold any of the AUTO LOOP buttons to set a loop to 
your desired length with slip mode activated. Release to exit the 
loop and turn off slip mode.

VINYL MODE

Pressing the VINYL (24) button enables VINYL mode. Enabling 
VINYL mode allows scratching when the JOGWHEEL (11) is 
touched and rotated. When VINYL mode is disabled, the 
JOGWHEEL (11) will be in SEARCH MODE and will allow 
searching through the track.

PITCH NUDGE

It is possible to increase or decrease the pitch temporarily by up 
to 8% by using the platter.  If the platter is in VINYL mode, then a 
pitch nudge can be done by turning the platter by touching only 
the outer (rubber) edge.  If VINYL MODE is off, then you can turn 
the platter from anywhere (including the top) to nudge the pitch.

REVERSE MODE

Pressing the REV (7) button causes the playback to run in 
reverse direction at the same speed as the forward playback.  

SLIP MODE

When SLIP (20) is enabled, normal playback continues 
inaudibly underneath SCRATCH, LOOP, and REVERSE effects. 
When SCRATCH, LOOP, or REVERSE mode is exited, normal 
playback resumes from the inaudible playback spot. 

SLIP WITH SCRATCH

To use SLIP while scratching, enable VINYL mode by pressing 
the VINYL (24) button. Enable SLIP mode by pressing the SLIP 
(20) button. Using the jog dial will now create scratch effects 
while normal track playback continues inaudibly underneath.  
Once the jogwheel is released, track playback will continue from 
the playback position playing underneath.

SLIP WITH LOOP

To use SLIP with loop playback, enable SLIP mode by pressing 
the SLIP (20) button. Set a loop using the IN / OUT controls and 
loop playback will begin. The SLIP (20) button will begin flashing 
indicating SLIP mode is active and the position playing underneath 
is shown on the jogwheel display. Upon exiting the loop, track 
playback will continue from the playback position playing 
underneath.
