During playback, you can press the Cue Button to return the track to this Cue Point. (If you did not set a Cue Point, then it will return to the beginning of the track.). If the Deck is paused, you can press and hold the Cue Button to play the track from the Temporary Cue Point. Releasing the Cue Button will return the track to the temporary Cue Point and pause it.

When the LED is solid the loop size is designated by the top silkscreen labels. When the LED is flashing, the loop size is designated by the bottom silkscreen labels.
When a loop is triggered, hold SHIFT down and then use this encoder to move backwards/forwards the loop in time by 1 beat per click.
KEY SYNC. Use this button to match the key of the deck with the one from the opposite deck. Hold SHIFT down and then use this button to play the track in reverse while the button is pressed. When released, the track will continue playing from the position it would have been if never pressed (censor)

Hold SHIFT down and then use this button to enable/disable Vinyl mode.
PITCH. Controls the track's playback tempo.
When the LED is turned on, it indicates that the pitch fader of the unit is on zero (center) position and the track plays at its original speed. When the LED is flashing, the pitch values of the software and hardware don't match and you will need to move the hardware pitch fader until it reaches the software value, in order to regain hardware tempo control (soft-takeover). This can happen if you press SYNC and the tempo of the track changes to a different value.
