Chapter 3 Playback Operations
Other Ways to Move In a
Song
Changing Playback Position
Using JUMP
Besides using markers and locators to move the current time
of the song, you can also directly specify a location or
measure and beat to move to. This is convenient when
designating locations during track and phrase editing.
1.
Hold [SHIFT] and press [PAGE (JUMP)].
2.
“Jump” appears in the display. Use [ ] and [ ]
and the TIME/VALUE dial to enter the time location.
3.
Press [F4 (Exec)]. The designated time location is
recalled, and you will return to the previous mode.
Change Playback Position Using
TIME/VALUE Dial
The current playback time in the display is shown in SMPTE
time code. The current measure, beat and marker number are
also displayed. Use the following procedure to change the
current playback position.
SMPTE Time Code (See Appendices, p. 65)
1.
Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
2.
Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons to underline the time
value you wish to change.
3.
Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change the value.
fig.02-06a
Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to change the playback time
according to the position of the cursor. For example, if the
cursor is positioned under the Minutes indicator, each click
of the TIME/VALUE dial changes the timeline position by
one-minute increments. If the cursor is moved to the
subframe location, turning the dial moves the timeline
position in increments of 1/10th of a frame. To move the
timeline in 1/100th frame increments, hold [SHIFT] and turn
the TIME/VALUE dial.
Move to the Beginning or End of
a Song Using FF and RW
1.
To go to the beginning of actual recorded audio in a
song, hold [SHIFT] and press [REW (SONG TOP)].
2.
To go to the ending of actual recorded audio in song,
hold [SHIFT] and press [FF (SONG END)].

Store Your Song
As you are working on a song over a long period of time, use
Song Store to save changes and edits as you go along. For
example, use Song Store after recording several new tracks,
or making many elaborate edits. The contents of a recorded
song can be lost due to unforeseen accidents, such as a power
failure or power outage. Once lost, the contents of a recorded
song cannot be restored to its previous state. To prevent this
from happening, use the following procedure to save your
songs on the drive frequently.
Current Song (Appendices, p. 63)
* When handling important song data, or when using the
VS-1680 for extended periods, we strongly recommend you
use the Song Store procedure frequently.
1.
Hold [SHIFT] and press [ZERO/(STORE)].
2.
“STORE OK?” appears in the display.
3.
Press [YES].
4.
If the song is saved properly, the startup display
reappears.
5.
If you wish to cancel the STORE command, press [NO].
