4.2.4 Loop Encoder
The Loop encoder is dedicated to looping functions on Track Decks, Stem Decks or Remix
Decks. It has a press function to engage a loop, a rotate function to adjust the loop size, as
well as a segmented LED ring indicating that a loop is engaged. When focus is on Deck A or B
the LED ring color is blue. When focus is on Deck C or D the LED ring color is white.
Loop Encoder
You cannot permanently engage a loop when Flux mode is active. The loop only remains
engaged for as long as you hold the Loop encoder and turns off again when released.
Adjustments to loop size can be made whether a loop is engaged or not.
Moving the Playhead
When a loop is inactive, the Loop encoder can also be used for moving the playhead in incre-
ments of the Loop size by holding SHIFT and then turning the loop encoder.
4.2.5 EDIT Button
The EDIT button activates Beat Grid mode that lets you adjust a track's Beat Grid. The TRAK-
TOR software can analyze your music and apply a Beat Grid which allows automatic beat-
matching and synchronization.
