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.
