Network Grouping
setup on each unit in the group is required. Following are step-by-step instructions to using these
features with grouped units. Failure to comply with these recommendations can result in undesired
behavior if any one of these features is in use while units are grouped. This could include:
• Out-of-sync playback between grouped units
• Some units in the group dropping out of playback prematurely
• Some units playing back the wrong le
• Sluggish transport control response time
To effectively use Loop Play Mode with grouped units:
1. Press and hold Play until the Main View reads LOOP.
2. Repeat step 1 on all units in the group. Now when a clip is looped, the units will remain in
sync.
To effectively use Cue Markers with grouped units:
1. Playback a le.
2. Find the spot in the le in which a cue marker is to be placed.
3. Pause Playback.
4. Press FILES + Fast Forward to lay a cue marker.
5. Repeat step 4 for all units in the group. Now when jumping to a cue marker on one unit all
units in the group will also jump to the cue point and remain in sync.
To loop between cue points on grouped units:
1. With Loop Mode on and Cue Markers all set, locate the cue point in which the loop will
begin.
2. Press Play + Fast Forward to change the Loop behavior from Loop Clip to Loop Segment
mode. The Main View will display the loop points (for example Cue 1 - Cue 2).
3. Repeat step 2 on all units in the group. All units in the group will now loop between the
selected cue points and remain in sync.
