CUE PLAY
Version 2 features Cue Play in Song Sequence Play Mode (see the Owner’s Manual, page 80),
which lets you compile a list of 16 songs or sequence phrases and trigger-start them from any
measure simply by pressing Track buttons. With Cue Play you can set fire to the dance floor by
triggering the right groove at just the right time—jumping from one to another in realtime as
the mood of the party dictates.
Cue Play works by assigning any of the 16 songs to any of the Track buttons, along with which
measure in the song to start from.
To enter Cue Play Mode:
1. In Song Mode, press [F2] (Seq) to enter
Song Sequence Play Mode.
2. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F2] (Cue) to
enter Cue Play Mode.
The Cue Play screen lists which songs are assigned
to each of the 16 Track buttons, and which
measures are designated as starting points for each
cue.
The number in brackets represents the Track
number. The number to the right of the Track
number represents the song number (1~16). The
number to the right of the song number represents
the starting measure number.
To assign song numbers and starting measures
to the Track buttons:
1. Position the cursor over the song number
of a desired Track button.
2. Specify a song number using [INC],
[DEC], [JOG] or [KEYPAD].
3. Position the cursor over the starting
measure number.
4. Specify a measure start point using [INC],
[DEC], [JOG] or [KEYPAD].
Note that you can assign the same song to more
than one Track button, designating a different
measure as the starting point for each. Thus, with
various sections of the song assigned to different
Track buttons, you can literally create a playback
arrangement on the fly, just by pressing the Track
buttons.
You can designate the Cue song to play from the
start measure and continue to the end of the song,
or to play only so long as you hold down the Track
button.
To have a Cue song continue playing from the
start measure to the end:
Press [F7] (Cnt) once or more so that
“Cnt” is highlighted in black.
When “Cnt” (Continue) is highlighted, pressing a
Track button will cause the song assigned to it to
play from the starting measure point till the end—
unless you press another Track button while the
current Cue song is playing. Pressing another Track
button will terminate the song in play and start the
next song. (This also lets you restart the same song
while it is playing by pressing its Track button
again.)
