13. BANK (FLASH) START BUTTONS (30):

These buttons are used to store your samples and cue points. Only

a sample or a cue point can be stored into each of these three

banks. When a sample is stored in to these banks you may use the

sample starting point as a cue point. The BANK BUTTONS instant-

ly recall and play any of your stored samples or cue points without

interrupting music playback. When in sample mode, (see "Using

the Built-In Sampler" on page 22) and during playback, pressing

any of the BANK BUTTONS that holds a sample, will immediately

begin to play that sample without interruption of music. If the unit

is in sample mode and the drive is not in playback mode, pressing

any of the BANK BUTTONS that stores a sample, will immediately

begin to play that sample.

14. JOG WHEEL TOUCH SENSITIVITY (Bop Effect): The Bop Effect is a stutter effect that is similar to

turntable scratching. You can use this effect to create tricks in your mixing. Creating a BOP effect is a simple

process. This function works with the SCRATCH EFFECT (17). This function allows the play and cue com-

mands to be controlled by tapping on the touch sensitive JOG WHEEL (23).

FLASH START™: The Flash Start™ function allows any sample stored in the BANK BUTTONS (29) to be trig-

ger by the crossfader in the same way the Q-Start™ function operates (see Fader Q-Start™ on page 7). Please

note however that in order for the Flash Start function to operate the Q-Start™ function has to be acitivated.

See page 37 for set up instructions.

ACTIVATING TOUCH SENSITIVITY: Before you can use

the JOG WHEEL (20) to control the play and cue com-

mands you must first activate the JOG WHEEL (20) touch

sensitivity. To activate the touch sensitivity mode, be sure

the FX SELECT L.E.D. (9) is glowing amber. Once the FX

SELECT L.E.D. (9) is glowing yellow, press and hold down

the SCRATCH BUTTON (4) until it begins to flash amber

repeatedly. This will activate touch sensitivity mode.

IN PLAYBACK MODE: While in play mode and

when the touch sensitivity function is active, the

JOG WHEEL (20) can be used to return the unit

to last cue point. Simply touch the JOG WHEEL

(20) and unit will immediately return to the last set

cue point and playback without music interruption.

Essentially the JOG WHEEL (20) becomes a Bop

Button.
