Loop Modes
In Manual Loop Mode, you can use each pad to activate an assigned loop. Pressing Loop for the first time will
always enter Manual Loop Mode.
Tip: You can use the Engine DJ software to set and name your loops. The names will appear in the display for
reference.
To assign a loop to a pad and activate it, press a dimly lit pad to create a Loop In point at the current
location, and then press it again to create the Loop Out point at another location. You can also assign an
auto loop to a pad by pressing a dimly lit pad while in the auto loop. The loop will activate immediately, and
the pad will light up.
To activate a loop, press the corresponding pad. Once a loop has been created, you can retrigger it by
pressing the corresponding pad again, depending on the Saved Loop Behavior setting.
To delete a loop, press Shift and the desired pad.
In Auto Loop Mode, you can use each pad to create and activate an auto loop. Pressing Loop while in Manual
Loop Mode will enter Auto Loop Mode.
To activate an auto loop, press a pad. The display will show the length of the auto loop for each pad.
To deactivate an auto loop, press the pad again.
Roll Mode
In Roll Mode, you can press and hold each pad to trigger a "loop roll" of a certain length while the track's timeline
continues (the lower half of the waveform in the display will continue moving forward). When you release the pad, the
track will resume normal playback from where it would have been if you had never done anything (i.e., as if the track
had been playing forward the whole time).
To trigger a roll, press the corresponding pad. Pads with triplet-based loop rolls are lit purple.
Slicer Mode
In Slicer Mode (first press), the eight pads represent eight sequential beats—"slices"—in the beatgrid. The
currently playing slice is represented by the currently lit pad; the light will "move through the pads" as it
progresses through the eight-slice phrase. You can press a pad to play that slice. When you release the pad, the
track will resume normal playback from where it would have been if you had never pressed it (i.e., as if the track
had been playing forward the whole time).
To play a slice, press the corresponding pad.
Use the parameter buttons to change the length of the repeats.
In Slicer Loop Mode (second press), the eight pads represent eight sequential beats—"slices"—in the beatgrid.
The currently playing slice is represented by the currently lit pad; the light will "move through the pads" as it
progresses through the eight-slice phrase, which will loop (this is the difference between this mode and Slicer
Mode). You can press a pad to play that slice. When you release the pad, the track will resume normal playback
from where it would have been in the loop if you had never pressed it (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward
the whole time).
