How to Use the Two Banks of Hot Cues on the Pioneer XDJ-RR

0:00 First of all the tune I'm using is by Lindsey Krieber

All right, first of all the tune I'm using is by Lindsey Krieber. It's a track entitled We Call House and this is the club instrumental version, club instrumental mix should I say, using the XDJ-RR and the reason I'm doing this video is slight mistake on when I gave my sort of demo or thought on the RR. I said there were only four hot cues. Well, there are four hot cue buttons but there's two banks of. So in this video I'm going to show you how to do that. I'm going to show you how you can use the two banks. So first of all, let's just form four hot cues. One there, skip the track forward, put another one there, skip the track forward a bit more, another one there, forward, another one there. Now we can see the four buttons highlighted in blue. I'm now going to press the hot cue button again and now they've disappeared. Now no blue lights. So what we can do now is we can now record the second bank of hot cues.

1:28 Those cues, button button, press shift

One there, skip it forward. One there, let's go back a bit maybe to the break. One there, back a bit more and one there. Okay, so there we go. Now I've got the second bank of hot cues. So what I'm going to do, press those. If I want to go to the first bank, press the hot cue button and now I'm on the first bank. Now you'll know if you're on the first or second because the first bank, the hot cue button highlighted in green will stay alight. If you press that again, it's now flashing. That's now telling me I'm on the second bank. And again, as with most other controllers, if I want to now get rid of those hot cues, what I need to do is press shift and while my fingers on shift, press all of them or one or two or three of the buttons and now I have

2:35 Press hot cue button that's flashing, We've got rid of them all

Removed those hot cues. But that's on the second bank. So if I press the button again, the hot cue button, you can see now the hot cue button is shining and the blue lights are back again. That's because the first set of hot cues are still there. So of course, if I want to get rid of those, press shift. And let's just for this example, let's get rid of the second and third one. So we have the first and we have the last one. Press hot cue button that's flashing, We've got rid of them all. So in this one we'll press the first and the fourth. So now we can see we have first and forth on the first bank first and forth on the second press shift, press the forth and the first we've got rid of those. Let's press the second and

The third and on the second bank, we've got the second and the third hot cue want the first bank. got the first and the fourth okay I hope that's been a help don't forget you're listening to a track entitled we call house it's from karmic power records and I will put a link in the description practice and enjoy thank you very much
