Abstract
A method and apparatus that allows a musician or disk-jockey to jump to selected beats while playing a digital music file. Numeric pads on a user interface access beat pointers which point to the location of a selected jump beat in the file. The jump beat then replaces or overlays the beat currently being played. Alternatively, a pattern of beats can be selected to overlay the song as it is played.
