These  encoders  control  a  number  of  looping  and  moving  (BeatJumping)  functions  in  TRAK-
TOR, as described in the following table:

Action

Result

Rotate encoder

Increases or decreases the loop size

Press encoder

Creates a loop of the specified size, starting at the

current playing position.

The Loop Size display flashes when the loop is active.

If a loop is already active, Loop mode will be deacti-
vated.

Hold SHIFT and rotate encoder while looping

Moves the position of the active loop by the size
amount.

Hold SHIFT and rotate encoder while NOT looping

BeatJump the current track in forward or back (de-
pending on rotation direction) in current loop sized
jumps. For example, turning to the right when the
loop size is set to 4 will BeatJump forward by four
beats.

Hold SHIFT and press encoder while looping

Stop looping (Same as pressing encoder without

SHIFT

 while looping).

Hold SHIFT, press and hold encoder and turn to the left Reset Deck's beatline to the start. This returns the

track to the beginning.

Holding  the 

SHIFT

  button  while  pressing  and  turning  the 

LOOP

quick  and  easy  way  to  "reset"  your  track  to  the  very  beginning,  even  if  you  have  no  cue
points set there.

Loop Size Displays

One of the 7-segment displays displaying a loop/move size on the Z2.

The displays display the loop (or move) length as a number. The displays blink when the asso-
ciated track is looping. In addition, they display various options when you press the Z2's Set-
tings button (
