ed Cue point as long as the Pad is kept depressed.

7.9. Playing with Loops
A Loop is a snippet of audio that repeats (loops). Loops are used as tools for remixing parts of
tracks and can be used to extend track transitions. In this section you learn to play with Loops on
the S2. Besides enabling Loops, you can store Loops as Hotcues in the track using the Deck's
Pads. This allows you to gain instant access to your most important Loops.
Enabling a Loop
To enable a Loop:
1. Press the LOOP encoder.
The Loop is enabled. The playback is looping by the selected Loop size. The Loop appears
as the green area in the Waveform. When the playhead position reaches the Loop out point,
the playback position seamlessly jumps back to to Loop In point. Looping continues as long
as as the Loop is enabled.
2. To disable the Loop, press the LOOP encoder again.
The playback continues as normal.
