media device with an Engine DJ profile is connected to your PRIME hardware.
Playback
• Track Start Position: This setting determines where the beginning of a track is after it loads. Select the actual
start of the file (Track Start) or the automatically detected beginning of an audio signal (Cue Position).
• Default Speed Range: This setting determines the range of the pitch fader. Select +4%, 8%, 10%, 20% or
50%.
• Nudge Sensitivity: This determines the level of sensitivity when moving the platters: Min, Low, Mid, High, or Max.
• Sync Mode: This setting determines the degree of synchronization applied when you press the Sync button on
your PRIME hardware:
o Bar: The tempo will be synced, and the track will be automatically bar-matched with the track on the sync
lead deck (the downbeats of each bar will be aligned).
o Beat: The tempo will be synced, and the track will automatically beat-matched with the track on the sync
lead deck.
o Tempo: Only the tempo will be synced (the BPM will match that of the sync lead deck).
• Sync Button Action: This setting determines how the Sync button will act when pressed.
o Toggle: This mode allows you to toggle sync on and off without having to hold Shift.
o Shift Disable: This mode requires Shift to be held in order to turn off sync.
• Always show Sync Lead Button: This setting determines whether the Sync Lead button appears over the main
waveforms in Performance View. You can tap this button to set the deck as the sync lead.
• Pitch Control Type: This setting determines the primary function of the Pitch Bend buttons. Select Pitch Bend
to keep the primary function as momentarily reducing or increasing the pitch, or select Range to set the primary
function to adjusting the range of the pitch fader. The function not used as the primary will still be available by
holding Shift and using the Pitch Bend buttons.
Cues/Loops
• Cue/Loop Quantization: This setting determines the degree of quantization for time-based features. Select 1/8
beat, 1/
4 beat, 1/2 beat, 1 beat or 4 beats.
• Paused Hot Cue Behavior: This setting determines how pads will play their hot cue points. When set to
Momentary, playback will start from a hot cue point when you press and hold its pad—release the pad to return
to the hot cue point. When set to Trigger, playback will start from a hot cue point (and continue) when you press
and release its pad.
• Default Loop Size: This setting determines the default size of an auto loop when you load a new track to the
deck: None, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 beats.
• Smart Loops: This setting determines whether or not a manual loop will be automatically expanded or reduced
to a conventional length (e.g., 2 beats, 4 beats, 8 beats, etc.) when you set it. Select On or Off. This setting
works independently of the quantization setting.
• Move Cue To Loop In: This setting determines whether the song's Cue Point will automatically be moved to the
start of a loop (On), or remain at its current point (Off).
• Saved Loop Behavior: This setting determines the action of loops after they have been saved. When set to
Reloop, pressing a pad with a saved loop will start playing the loop again. When set to Disable, pressing a pad
with a saved loop will turn off the loop.
