FLUX Button
Flux Mode
In Flux mode, for every Deck, a second playhead continues playing the track, even if you loop a
section, temporarily jump back to a cue point, skip forward or backward, etc. That way, the
track keeps progressing, no matter what you do.
4.2.3 Mode Select Buttons
On any Deck, next to the eight pads, S8 features the four Mode Select buttons HOTCUE,
LOOP, FREEZE, and REMIX. Depending on which of the four modes is active the pads’ func-
tionality varies as explained in this section.
