Using the dual deck mode

simultaneously when mixing two different tracks on deck 1 and deck 3
(or on deck 2 and deck 4).
A feature of this function is that it enables such operations as scratch-
ing, looping and hot cueing of two different tracks that have been mixed
by mashing them up or blending them, as if they were a single track.
