(This does nothing in Mixxx 1.6.2. It will control looping in a future version.)

Trig Modes

These modes configure the surface as 9 buttons (lit up dim red for visibility.)

The red LEDs flash when you press the corresponding button. The outer blue LEDs light when a cue point is set on that button.

• To set a cue, just press a free button at the desired time.

• To erase a cue, hold TRIG while pressing the button(s) you want to erase

• Center slider (S4) allows you to "scratch" the song
