Using the QUANTIZE function
This function can be used to play auto beat loops, apply beat effects,
etc., in tempo with the currently playing track based on the track’s GRID
information as analyzed with rekordbox.
! Music files must be analyzed ahead of time with rekordbox in order
to use the QUANTIZE function. For instructions on analyzing music
files with rekordbox, see the rekordbox Operating Instructions.

while pressing the [SHIFT] button, the QUANTIZE function turns off.
Using the SYNC function
This function can be used to automatically synchronize the tempo (BPM)
and beat positions on the left and right decks based on the tracks’ GRID
information as analyzed with rekordbox.
! Music files must be analyzed ahead of time with rekordbox in order
to use the SYNC function. For instructions on analyzing music files
with rekordbox, see the rekordbox Operating Instructions.
! The following describes the procedure for synchronizing the
[DECK 2] track to the [DECK 1] track.
1 Play a track that has been analyzed with rekordbox
on [DECK 1].
The deck on which a track that has been analyzed with rekordbox is
played first is set as the MASTER for the SYNC function.
! The master can also be specified by pressing the [MASTER] button.
2 Play a track that has been analyzed with rekordbox
on [DECK 2].
3 Press the [SYNC] button for [DECK 2].
[DECK 2] is synchronized to the tempo (BPM) and beat positions of the
track playing on [DECK 1].
! When the [SYNC] button is pressed again, the SYNC function turns
off.
! Use the procedure below to restore the currently playing track’s
tempo (BPM) to its original tempo after turning the SYNC function
off.
First move the [TEMPO] slider to the position to which the tempo
(BPM) was synchronized (the [TEMPO] indicator turns off), then
move it back to the center position.
Reload the same track.
! Depending on the track’s beat information, the sound may not be
synchronized after the [SYNC] button is pressed. If this happens, the
sound can be re-synchronized by pressing the [SYNC] button to turn
the sync mode off then back on.
