Moving Loops

You can move enabled and disabled Loops forward or backward in the track:

MOVE

 encoder clockwise or counter-clockwise.

This instantly moves the Loop in the track.

 + press a green lit Pad.

The Hotcue is removed and the Loop is deleted from the track. The pad is now unlit.

7.10. Snap Mode and Quantize Mode

Snap  mode  and  Quantize  mode  are  important  tools  that  can  help  you  when  working  with  Cue
Points and Loops, and for jumping in the track:

SNAP

  mode  ensures  that  any  Loop  or  Cue  Point  you  set  in  a  track  will  snap  to  the  closest

beat.

QUANTIZE

 mode ensures that you remain in sync and on beat, whenever you jump to a Loop,

a Cue Point, or any position in the track.

Examples for Using and not using SNAP Mode

Depending on what you want to do, you can enable or disable SNAP mode and QUANTIZE mode
at any time. Here are a few examples:

• Enable SNAP mode if you want to set a Loop starting directly on a beat.
• Disable SNAP mode if you want to set a Cue Point at the beginning of vocals that do not nec-

essarily start on the beat.

• Enable  QUANTIZE  mode  if  want  to  mix  in  a  synched  track  and  want  the  downbeats  of  both

tracks to perfectly match.

• Disable QUANTIZE mode, if you want to trigger tracks or Samples any time you press play or

trigger Hotcue buttons.

Enabling/Disabling Quantize Mode

When Quantize mode is enabled, the 

QNT

 button is brightly lit. When Quantize mode is disabled,

the 

QNT

button is dimly lit.

To enable or disable Quantize mode:

Press the 

QNT

 button on your Mixer.

Enabling/Disabling SNAP Mode
