waveform of each track. You can also display a detailed

zoom of the waveform that automatically scrolls along

with the track, by tapping the scrolling waveform

button (10).

The different audio frequencies are represented by way

of a color code: red for low frequencies, yellow for low-

mid frequencies, green for high-mid frequencies, and

blue for high frequencies. A red deck playhead bar

shows you where you are in the track. The CUE point

(white triangle) and HOT CUE points (different colored

triangles) also appear on the two waveforms.

In addition, the scrolling waveform moves forward or

backward depending on how you manipulate the track

(scratching, moving to the CUE point or a HOT CUE

point…).

The first beat of a bar (the down beat) is represented by

a yellow line. The following beats (intermediate beats)

are each represented by a gray line.

Occasionally, the beatgrid will not correspond to the

rhythm of the track and will require manual editing.

Dashboard button (4), then tap Settings and

type and interval:

o Sync type: choose between tempo

synchronization (BPM only) or beat

synchronization (BPM and Beats).

o Beat Sync Interval: choose whether beat

synchronization is carried out on one or four

beats.

16

Slip mode

In Slip mode, the deck playhead continues to advance in

the background when you apply an effect or a loop, place a

CUE point, or when you use the Skip function or the jog

wheels. When you stop applying an effect, playback
