These encoders control a number of looping and moving (BeatJumping) functions in TRAK-
TOR, as described in the following table:
Action Result
Rotate encoder Increases or decreases the loop size
Press encoder Creates a loop of the specified size, starting at the
current playing position.
The Loop Size display flashes when the loop is active.
If a loop is already active, Loop mode will be deacti-
vated.
Hold SHIFT and rotate encoder while looping Moves the position of the active loop by the size
amount.
Hold SHIFT and rotate encoder while NOT looping BeatJump the current track in forward or back (de-
pending on rotation direction) in current loop sized
jumps. For example, turning to the right when the
loop size is set to 4 will BeatJump forward by four
beats.
Hold SHIFT and press encoder while looping Stop looping (Same as pressing encoder without
SHIFT while looping).
Hold SHIFT, press and hold encoder and turn to the left Reset Deck's beatline to the start. This returns the
track to the beginning.
Holding the SHIFT button while pressing and turning the LOOP (SIZE) encoder left is a
quick and easy way to "reset" your track to the very beginning, even if you have no cue
points set there.
Loop Size Displays
One of the 7-segment displays displaying a loop/move size on the Z2.
The displays display the loop (or move) length as a number. The displays blink when the asso-
ciated track is looping. In addition, they display various options when you press the Z2's Set-
tings button (ā5.4.13, Status/Mode Indicators).
