Press the P-switch downwards and the crossfader switches to control the channel blend in the headphones.

When pressing the P-switch upwards, the play button reverses the play direction.
Cue
The Cue button sets the starting point for the track and can also be used to create effects. When pressing the P-switch upwards, the Cue button enables exiting and re-entering a loop.

The touchpad allows you to bend a track, change EQ values and gain levels.
When pressing the P-switch upwards, the touchpad allows for controlling and setting pitch values, filter parameters and audio effect levels.
When pressing the P-switch downwards, the touchpad allows for controlling the headphones volume.
The touchpad is also used to navigate the track library and the device settings.
