USING THE SOFTWARE AND CONTROLLER

Once you open the software, you will see the interface shown below. Genreally, the software is organized in three
different areas:

SOFTWARE OVERVIEW

THE BROWSER
The Browser is where you can navigate and organize your music collection. The title of the song, its author, its
duration, its BPM, and a possible comment are listed for each file. You can modify the size of each column
individually and you can click on a column to sort its contents.
The name of the author and the title are automatically filled in, if your file is named according to conventions "(author)
title.ext." or "author - title.ext.", or if the file has ID3 or iTunes tag information.
You can load a track to a virtual deck by clicking and dragging the title to the deck's virtual platter. The
duration and the BPM are calculated automatically when you load a title to the deck, and are then memorized in the
internal database of the software.
This title is unknown and was never played or scanned by CUE LE.
This title is known and has been scanned by CUE LE.

playing. This might be a track that you want to avoid playing next.
DECK AND MIXER CONTROLS
These are the controls for the virtual decks and mixer. Most of the controls can be accessed with the controls on the
hardware surface. Please see the following "Hardware Controls" section for details on the controls.
RHYTHM WINDOW
Above the players, a window posts curves corresponding to the two rates/rhythms of the music. The peaks in the
curve represent beats. In order to synchronize the music, these peaks should occur at the same time. The present is
represented by the line segment in the middle of the screen. All on the left was already played, while what is on the
right represents the next seconds of the track.
