The key lights steadily in playback mode, and flashes in pause mode.

PLAY key is not pressed will stop playback, and the deck whose PLAY key has been pressed will start playback.

JOG dial

This dial is also used for setting parameter values, etc. as explained elsewhere in this manual (3, “Basic operations” and 4, “Advanced Operations”).

While the deck is “locking up”, the TEMPO SYNC key flashes, and when the sync is locked, the light lights steadily.
