20. Pads: These pads have different functions on each Deck depending on the current Pad
Mode (described below). These pads are similar to the pads used with Akai Professional
MPCs, so they are velocity-sensitive (in certain modes only), durable, and easy to play.
21. Cues / Transport: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between Hot Cue Mode and
Transport Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Hot Cue Mode.
•
Hot Cue Mode: Each pad assigns a Hot Cue Point or returns the track to that Hot
Cue Point. When a Hot Cue Button is unlit, you can assign a Hot Cue Point by
pressing it at the desired point in your track. Once it is assigned, the Hot Cue Button
will light. Press and hold Shift and then press a pad to delete its assigned Hot Cue
Point.
•
Transport: The bottom row of pads acts as a set of transport controls for the deck,
according to the labels below them: Play, Cue, Sync, and Stutter.
Play / Pause: This button pauses or resumes playback.
o
Cue: When the Deck is paused, you can set a Temporary Cue Point by moving
o
the Platter to place the Audio Pointer at the desired location and then pressing
the Cue Button. During playback, you can press the Cue Button to return the
track to this Temporary Cue Point. (If you did not set a Temporary Cue Point,
then it will return to the beginning of the track.)
If the Deck is paused, you can press and hold the Cue Button to play the track
from the Temporary Cue Point. Releasing the Cue Button will return the track to
the Temporary Cue Point and pause it. To continue playback without returning
to the Temporary Cue Point, press and hold the Cue Button, then press and
hold the Play Button, and then release both buttons. Press and hold Shift and
then press this button to return to the beginning of the track.
Sync: Press this button to automatically match the corresponding Deck's
o
tempo with the opposite Deck's tempo and phase. Press and hold Shift and
press this button to deactivate Sync.
Stutter: Press this button to "stutter-play" the track from the last set Cue Point.
