To continue playback without returning to the Temporary Cue Point, press and hold the Cue Button, then press and hold the Play Button, and then release both buttons. - BPM. Use this button to manually tap the tempo of the track (in case the BPM is inaccurate). Tap at least 4 times in order VirtualDJ to auto-calculate the tempo of the track.
