Display Waveforms
The Shortcut Editor can display audio waveforms in two styles. The first of these is a
conventional dual waveform where the left channel appears on top, and the right channel
appears on the bottom. The menu selection is called
SPLIT
; all of the diagrams shown so far
depict this style of display.

SPLIT WAVEFORM DISPLAY
An alternative waveform combines the top of the left channel and the bottom of the right
channel, forming a large composite waveform. The main advantage of this display is its size.
The menu selection is called COMBINED.

Output Level
The output level of each recording may be adjusted over a range of +6 dB to -60 dB.
These changes are stored with the recording, and become a semi-permanent part of the File.
The display shows a numeric value that may be adjusted in .5 dB steps by rotating The S

,
or in .1 dB steps by using the

or the

keys. Press

to confirm.
When Files having different level adjustments are intercut, each retains its own level.
Note that +6 dB is the maximum increase that can be obtained. For example, if you insert a file
with a gain of +4 dB and then increase the gain of the overall file to +5, the +4 dB section will
play back with +6 dB of added gain, not +9 dB.
Installing Softcode
Soft Code allows Shortcut’s operating instructions to be revised or upgraded without
changing memory chips. It also can also support more features than the size of the internal
program memory allows.
Note that the unit always maintains the capability to operate using the internal program
memory chips. Some features may be unavailable, and upgrades and revisions made since the
unit was shipped or the EPROMs were changed will no longer be in effect.
