Bug Description
I was looking at videos of the new version of Serato and saw one feature that should be fairly easy to add, called "slip mode." Here's the use case:
* DJ Bob wants to go nuts on the effects, using loops and delays and cuepoints
* he also, however, doesn't want to lose his place in the song to preserve the phrasing and overall timing
* so, he enters slip mode (a midi toggle switch). There is no audible change in the playback at first
* he goes nuts with effects, loops, cue points, etc.
* when he's done messing around, he exits slip mode
* playback resumes from where the song would have been if he hadn't entered slip mode
This is how I'd implement it: when entering slip mode, assign the current (precise) playposition to a m_dSlipModePos variable, and the current rate to m_dSlipModeRate. Update that position on every loop no matter what else the dj is doing. When exiting the mode, just seek to that position.

That feature is also on some of newer CDJ`s (e.g. CDJ-900) , sounds useful
