Transport Controls
The
PLAY
,
STOP
,
FF
and
REW
controls work in a similar manner to a tape machine. An additional
feature is increasing the fast-forward and rewind speeds by pressing the respective keys multiple
times. This accelerates through 8, 24, 60, 150 and 360 times play speed.
To enter record press the
REC
and
PLAY
keys together.
The play command can be accessed also by pressing the
Jog Play
Button.
The Space bar on the QWERTY keyboard can also be used to toggle the transport between Play
and Stop, while the Track Display is in focus (click anywhere on the Track display to give it focus.)
Jog Commands
Pressing the
Play Jog
key enters Jog mode, unless already in Jog, in which it enters Play.
Holding the
BLUE
or
ctrl
key while jogging increases the jog speed by five times.
Holding down the
SHIFT
key while jogging increases the jog speed by 64 times.
Holding down the
SHIFT
and
ctrl
keys while jogging increases the jog speed by 512 times.
Loop Jog
Loop Jog is a unique transport mode where jogging becomes a playspeed loop, which is moved
backwards and forwards. It’s great for detecting pitch changes in music, sibilance in speech, or
other changes in tone.
To toggle this on and off, hold down the
Jog
key and press the
Loop
soft key to choose Loop On
or Off. Other options in this menu:
Follow Zoom
Toggles follow zoom on and off. When on, the gear ratio of
the jog wheel is affected by the zoom setting (this is the
default mode).
Loop On
Toggles the loop on and off
Loop Width
sets the size of the loop in milliseconds. About 40 ms seems
best for most things, but occasionally very long loops are
good for setting clip EQ or fade values.
Align
sets the position of the loop in relation to the cursor. The
most common setting is pre, where the loop comes up to the
cursor from before it, but the other values can also be useful.
Gear
this setting affects how fast the Jog Wheel needs to be turned
to achieve a particular transport speed.
Dim
Loop Jogging is very useful, but it sounds quite harsh. Turning
on Dim can prevent unpleasant auditory experiences.
Recommended if monitoring at high volume.
Mouse “Jogging”
The mouse can also be used to move the transport. Simply right-click anywhere and drag
horizontally to move the transport. Audio is not heard while this takes place.
Shuttle
To shuttle the transport, hold down the
BLUE
key and press
JOG/SHUT
. The jogger wheel will
then increase and decrease the transport velocity in forward and reverse.
