20. PLAY/PAUSE button: every time you press the PLAY/PAUSE button the player changes from play to
pause or from pause to play. The button blinks as long as the player is set to pause.
21. CUE button: Pressing the CUE button during playback provides an immediate return to the position at
which play was started. Playback starts immediately from the programmed cue point for as long as the
CUE button is pressed. The player jumps back to the cue point as soon as the CUE button is released.
Also with the unit in pause mode (Play/Pause button blinks) the jog wheel is used to set a different start
point. By pressing "PLAY/PAUSE" or "LOOP IN" button followed by "CUE", you can confirm this new
cue point.
22. TACTILE JOG-WHEEL: The jog-wheel on this player has 2 parts:
 Tactile center part: to match the vinyl feel as close as possible and largely improve scratch
performance, the central part of the jog-wheel uses a patented touch-sensitive technology. With the
WHEEL MODE buttons (23) you can change the behavior of this central part. Check the description
of the WHEEL MODE buttons (23) for more information.
 Outer ring: silver colored part of the jog wheel which is not touch sensitive. Regardless of the
selected wheel mode the outer ring can be always be used for pitch bending, except while using one
of the digital effects.
23. WHEEL MODE button: toggles between 3 different modes for the tactile jog-wheel. The tactile center
part and outer ring behave differently:
 VINYL-mode: used for extremely realistic scratching of any MP3 file played on the internal players
or DJ-software from your computer.
 Tactile center part: During playback, the music stops immediately when you touch the jog-
wheel: playback speed and direction are now fully controlled by the movements of your hand.
In pause mode you can easily set a new cue point.
 Outer ring: During playback you can use the outer ring for pitch bending to synchronize the
beats of 2 tracks. In pause mode you will hear the typical very small loops that give you the
possibility to set a cue point with 1frame (1/75seconds) accuracy.
 CDJ-mode: this is the standard mode, used by most DJ players. Both the tactile center part and the
outer ring behave identically. While the track is playing, the jog wheel temporarily bends the pitch of
the music up to +/-100% by rotating the wheel clockwise to speed it up or counterclockwise to slow it
down. The amount of pitch change is determined by the speed of rotation. In pause mode you will
hear the typical very small loops that give you the possibility to set a cue point with 1frame
(1/75seconds) accuracy.
 A.CUE SCRATCH-mode: very similar to VINYL mode but scratching always starts from the actual
cue point, the behavior of the outer ring is identical to that of vinyl mode:
 Tactile center part: During playback, the music stops immediately and returns to the actual
cue point each time you touch the jog-wheel: playback speed and direction are now fully
controlled by the movements of your hand. In pause mode you can easily set a new cue point
but the player first returns to the actual cue point.
