9. FRAME SEARCH

•This feature allows you to scroll through a track to set a starting cue, sample, or loop point. To use the scroll function you must first be in Pause Mode. Use the JOG WHEEL (13) (FIG. 12) to find your desired staring point by turning the wheel in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. When you use the jog wheel the monitor function allows you to here what is playing. Once you have set starting point pressing the PLAY BUTTON (25) (FIG.13) locks your cue point into memory. Pressing the CUE BUTTON (15) (FIG.14) will now return you to your set cue point.
