How to mix it

In 7A at 124 BPM: 8A (A minor) — move to 8A to push the floor harder; 7B (F major) — switch to 7B for a mood change without losing the groove; 6A (G minor) — drop to 6A to bring the room down gently.

Pitch range at ±6%: 117-131 BPM — anything in that window beatmatches without sounding stretched.

Key on the fader: without key lock (Master Tempo on CDJs), above roughly +5% it plays a semitone higher, so treat it as 2A rather than 7A; below -5% it reads as 12A. With key lock on, it stays 7A across the whole range.

Programming: a mid-set roller.
