Playback & Transport Controls

10.

Layer

: Press this button to switch the layer focus of the SC6000M PRIME.

Platter

static pitch platter depending on the setting of the

Motor

button.

12.

Torque Adjust

: Flip this rotary switch to adjust the torque of the

platters

. At the

turntable.

button.) If the deck is paused, press and hold this button to temporarily play the track from the initial cue point. Release the

To sync two or more PRIME units, press

Sync

synchronize to match the tempo of the primary unit.

To deactivate Sync, press the

Master

: Press this button to set this SC6000M PRIME unit as the one that controls the lead tempo. All connected units with

Sync activated will use this tempo. If you stop the sync lead unit, the next-longest-playing unit in the setup will automatically
become the new sync lead (unless you change it manually).

Slip

the track while the track’s timeline continues (the lower half of the waveform in the display will continue moving forward). In
other words, when you stop whatever action you are performing, the track will resume normal playback from where it would
have been if you had never done anything (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).
