Media keys
Your keyboard's play, pause, next and previous keys work with Solco's deck, and Solco shows the track playing in your computer's media controls: Now Playing on a Mac, the media overlay on Windows, and the media controls of your Linux desktop. Next and previous move to the track below or above in the table.
See "Hot cues, memory cues and loops on the deck" and "Checking and fixing beatgrids" for what these do.
