Connection and control elements
(30) BEAT ASSIST display
Automatic display of the BEATS PRO MINUTE (BPM) of the channels selected with the CROSSFADER ASSIGN
switch (21). The result is shown on the corresponding display.
(31) SYNC LOCK button

tion.

music. The determined value is shown on the display. The SYNC LOCK function is activated.

automatically takes place. If the input signal is too weak, the BPM cannot be calculated auto-
matically or manually. The display shows two bars.
The BEAT ASSIST button is only active when a piece of music of sufficient volume is played.
