OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To record a BPM synchronized real-time sequence: Program several sample cues by pressing the pads. Ensure that the SAMPLER button is not lit.

Hit the RECORD button. The real-time sequence recording is now armed and the RECORD button blinks. If a previous sequence had been recorded then the PLAY button will become unlit.

Select the beat division indicator to set the desired sequence recording length.

Upon hitting the first pad, recording begins and the RECORD button no longer blinks (it will remain solid).

At the end of the BPM determined length, the recording automatically starts playing (and will loop) depending if AUTOSTART has been engaged. The PLAY button illuminates. The pads illuminate based upon the sequence in which they were recorded.

To exit a real-time sequence:

Press the PLAY button to stop the sequence (the PLAY button blinks), or press a pad to override the sequence playback. If a pad is pressed while it is the current playback pad in a sequence, the playback from that pad will resume until the pad is released or until the PLAY/PAUSE button is hit.

SAVING PRESETS AND CUE POINTS

This unit will retain the setting you have made for most of the functions even if you unplug it. These functions include Pitch Range, Pitch Lock, Key Lock, effects, Vinyl and Touch Rewind, Single/Continuous, Auto BPM, and Repeat.

In addition, the unit will save and recall cue points and loops saved to the four pads for up to 500 CDs.

To save cue points, loops, and setting, press and hold the SAVE button until the display reads SAVING.

To recall cue points, before inserting the CD, press the SAVE button to activate the Recall function. Then insert the CD and the LCD will display “RECALL”. The pads will flash one after another and then change to green. When the last pad has changed to green, then you can press a pad to recall a cue point.

For example, if every time you turn on the unit you want it to load up in vinyl mode, with the pitch range set to 16%, single mode, and auto cue on, turn on all these functions and save.

WARNING: Do not power off the unit right after saving. You must wait at least 3 seconds in order for the new presets / cue points to be stored in memory.
