Different Ways to Set Cue Points
There are a number of ways to set Cue Points with the DAC-3. Below is one way to do this.
Set Cue Points with the Jog Wheel
STEP 1. Begin playing your track by pressing the Play button.
STEP 2. Press the Play button again at the point where you would like to save a Cue
Point in memory.
STEP 3. Turn the Jog Wheel clockwise to seek forward or counter-clockwise to seek
backwards and the Repeating Pause mode is activated so you can hear
exactly where your cue position is in the song.
STEP 4. To fine-tune the cue?s position, hold down the Shift button and turn the Jog
Wheel. Holding the Shift button makes the linear movement of the seek
function move in very small increments. This allows you to be precise with the
positioning of the Cue Point.
STEP 5. Click the Cue/Stop button
Making a Loop Point on the fly
This has become even easier with the DAC-3.
STEP 1. While the song is playing, after listening to the song?s beat press the IN button.
At the position where you want to set a Cue Point in the song (LOOP IN).
STEP 2. Then, after a few seconds, press the right Cue memory button again on the
beat? this will set your LOOP OUT point and begin looping. Press the
RELOOP button to exit the loop. You now have a cue point/Loop set at the
point you wished.
OR
STEP 1. Press the direct access button to select where to store the loop
STEP 2. Press and Hold down the shift button while hitting one of the direct access
buttons to select the length of the loop.
(1=1/16, 2=1/8, 3=1/4, 4=1/2, 5=1, 6=2, 7=4, 8=8, 9=16, 10= 32 beat loop)
NOTE: Using the same combination of control buttons while the Player is stopped can make
the DAC-3 perform a completely different task.

Edit a Cue Point
To put the Player into the Edit mode on the fly using the DAC-3, press the Play button to start
the Player playing a track. Then hold down the Shift key and press the Play button again. You
will begin to hear the Repeating Pause feature, which reveals the Cue Point?s position in the
song.
