the looped section of the track is marked in the waveform and in the full track display. additionally the loop is activated: the loop button is now highlighted.
once they are created manual loops behave in the same way as automatic loops.
to change the loop size of a manual loop you can either set a new loop out point or move the current one. this is explained in the next section.
Moving the Loop
Sometimes you will find that the loop is not exactly where you want it. The Smart Seek feature of croSS DJ makes it easy to move an activated loop:
1 First you need to define the Jump length by performing one of the following actions:
• click the Smart Seek length display until the desired jump length is shown.
• Hold the SHIft button on your u-mIX control controller and press the loop encoder until the desired jump length is shown in the Smart Seek length display.
2 now you can move the loop by performing one of the following actions:
• click the Smart Seek Backward or the Smart Seek forward button.
• press (Alt)+(æ) to move the loop towards the begin of the track or press (Alt)+(Æ) to move it towards the end of the track
• Hold the SHIft button on your u-mIX control controller and turn the loop encoder.
TIP use the loop feature together with the locators that are explained in the next section: set a locator at a point that you want to use as the loop in point, jump to that locator and finally use one of the auto loop buttons to activate the loop.
9.3 Using Cue Points
If you load a track for the first time, CROSS DJ will create a cue point at the begin-ning of the track. the cue point is symbolised on the waveform and in the full track display by a cue marker, which looks a little bit like a flag on a flagstaff.
Cue/Stop Cue/Play
you can use the cue/Stop and cue/play button to start the playback at the position of the cue point and to set the cue point position.
Setting the Cue Point
use the Snap button and the Snap Length selector on the player to enable/disable the Snap feature. then perform one of the following actions to set the position of the cue point::
• click the Cue/Stop button while the track is paused.
• press the shortcut (ª)+(C).
• Hold the SHIFT button on u-mIX control pro/u-mIX control 2
and press the CUE button while the track is playing. When the player is paused press the CUE button. (note: SHIFT+CUE also works.)
TIP The last cue point that you set in a track is stored in the peak files au-tomatically.
Jumping to Cue Point and start Playback
perform one of the following actions to jump to the cue point and to start playback:
• click the Cue/Play button.
• press the (¢) key.
• Hold the SHIFT button and press PLAY/PAUSE on u-mIX control pro/u-mIX control 2 to activate cue/play from the controller.
• Hold the CUE button and press the PLAY/PAUSE button on u-mIX control
Jumping to Cue Point and start Playback temporarily
perform one of the following actions to jump to the cue point and to start playback.
all actions set the play marker to the cue point position. the track is playing as long as the button/key is pressed. If you release the button/key, playback is paused and the play marker is set to the cue point position again.
• click the Cue/Stop button while the track is playing.
• press the shortcut (C), while the track is playing.
• press the CUE button on u-mIX control pro/u-mIX control 2 while the track is playing.
9.4 Using Locators (Hot Cues)
Several of the professional cDJ players allow you to store cue points in a track either on a memory card or in the memory integrated into the cDJ player. you can jump to a stored cue point – sometimes called hot cue – by pressing a button on the cDJ player.
croSS DJ allows you to store cue points as well; stored cue points are called loca-tors. Below the two players you can see the locator section that informs you of the number and the position of the locators in the currently loaded track.
