Searching
Searching provides fast, direct access to a track or tracks by matching text that you enter. First, select
the type of search you want to perform...
Rotate the Push Select knob or use the arrow keys on the keyboard (if connected) to select the type of
search. The search type can be:
All
Title
Album
Artist
Once you have selected the desired type of search,
press the Push Select knob (or Tab on the keyboard)
to move to the text entry box. Now start to enter the
search text, either by rotating the Push Select knob or
with an attached USB keyboard. The character you
are entering is previewed on the right side of the text
box. Once you have entered the desired search text,
select Done from the text entry menu (Tab or Enter on
the keyboard). The results will be displayed on the
screen. You can now move through the list using the
Push Select knob, or press again to move back to the
search type option.
Please note that search text is matched to any position within each tag. So, to search for tracks on an
album containing the word "Love", select an Album search, enter "LOVE" (upper or lower case is not
important) and select Done. The search will match tracks on any album with the word "Love" in its title,
such as "The Greatest Love Songs", "Love Boat" and "A Lovely Collection".
Note that searching always returns a list of tracks - you can narrow down by artist, album or other tags
and you will see the tracks that are contained within that album or by that artist, etc.
Except when entering text, the search screen offers a set of menu options which refer to the currently
highlighted track. If no track is highlighted then only the Back option is available.

Info
Menu options to send a track direct to a deck are not available if that deck is currently playing back.
You should first pause the deck and then select the option. This will reduce the chance of accidentally
replacing a track that could be in the mix.

browsing options are available, each of them narrowing down toward a list of tracks:
