PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON

Starts/Pauses playback of a track.

CUE BUTTON

During normal playback, pressing this button immediately returns the track to the last set cue point

(either one you have set, or the point at which audio starts, found by your SCS.4DJ’s

AUTO-

CUE engine) and pauses playback when released. Holding the CUE button down will engage CUE

PLAYBACK, which plays the track from the cue point until you release the CUE button. If the PLAY

button is pressed while holding the

CUE button down, then playback will continue even after the

CUE button has been released. If no

CUE POINT has been created, pressing the CUE BUTTON

will bring the playback point to the start of the track, or to the

AUTO CUE point as selected by the

SCS.4DJ

CREATING A CUE POINT

1) With a track currently playing, press the

PLAY/PAUSE button and playback will pause at the

current position. Although the track has been stopped, a new

CUE POINT has not been created.

2) Press

CUE to create a CUE POINT at your current location in the track. Pressing and holding

the

CUE button again will start playback from the current position until you let go of the CUE

button. If you want to change your

CUE POINT position, you can use the touch-sensitive top

section of the

PLATTER in SCRATCH mode while the CUE BUTTON is NOT held down to

move the audio to the point that you want, followed by pressing the

CUE button again to set

the new

CUE POINT. The CUE POINT will be a RED LINE, while GREY LINES are the current

BEAT GRID, which is the internal SYNC ENGINE’s reference to your current song’s beats.

3) With the track playing, press the

CUE button and the music will immediately stop and playback

will return to the last

CUE POINT you have set. From here, you can press PLAY/PAUSE to

resume playback, or hold down the

CUE BUTTON again to engage CUE PLAY.
