TRIM IN to change the first frame on all enabled channels’ child clips.  If the channels become out of synch while
jogging, the IN point will be taken from the MASTER channel, and all SLAVE channels’ child clips will be trimmed
the same; a subsequent tap of the CUE key brings them back into synch.  Tap the PLAY key to play the clips in
synch, or move the SLIDE up from the still position to play, in synch, in slow motion.

To conserve disk space, a loop record mode is used.  This means that after a preset duration (set in the RECORD
SETTINGS, RECORD DURATION menu), the beginning of the recording is reused and recorded over.  Child clips
are preserved, and will not be erased, along with safety handles that allow subsequent trimming the IN point earlier
and/or trimming the OUT point later (the handle durations can be changed in the CHILD SETTINGS menu).  Even
after disk reuse results in child clips no longer being actual subsets of their parents, the child is still considered as
belonging to the parent to help keep things organized.

PLAYBACK

Playback is controlled by the PLAY, STOP, and SLOW keys and by The Slide.  When playback speed is set using
these keys or is set to still by a LOAD CLIP or CUE operation, The Slide is automatically moved to the correct
position by its built-in motor.  Speed can then be changed smoothly by moving The Slide.  When you select a
different channel, The Slide moves into the position that was last used with that channel.  Mechanical breakpoints
are felt on The Slide when moving it to the still, play, and reverse play positions; this tactile feedback keeps the
operator informed about The Slide’s position.  A spring-like feel is felt above the play speed breakpoint, between
the still and reverse play breakpoints, and below the reverse play breakpoint.  Pushing The Slide against the
spring-like resistance above the play breakpoint proportionally varies speed between 100% and the speed set in
the OPER PREFS, MAX FWD SPEED menu.  Pushing below the reverse play breakpoint proportionally varies
speed between -100% and the speed set in the MAX REV SPEED menu.  Additional tactile feedback in the form of
speed détente steps between still and play are added by enabling the OPER PREFS, DÉTENTED SLO-MO menu
item.  In this mode, playback speed is changed in discrete steps that are selected for the least perceivable temporal
distortion (a.k.a. judder).  The number of détentes can be changed using the OPER PREFS, QTY OF DÉTENTES
menu.  Eventually, SUPERSLIDE operators subliminally count détentes and always know by feel what speed they
are at.

The PLAY key rolls the loaded clip at 100% play speed and moves The Slide to the play breakpoint position.  The
STOP key brings playback to a still frame and moves The Slide to the still breakpoint.  The SLOW key plays the
loaded clip at the speed stored with the clip and moves The Slide to the correct position for that speed.  If détented
mode is enabled and the recalled speed is not a détente speed or SLOW is double-tapped, the non-détented mode
is used temporarily.  PLAY, STOP, or SLOW restores the détented mode.  Hold ENTER and tap SLOW during
playback to store the current playback speed with the clip.

While at still, turning the KNOB jogs through the material between -100% and 100% speeds.  If at the IN or OUT
points and at still (00% showing on the status display), the KNOB will jog into the IN and OUT handles, if they exist,
all the way to the clip’s actual IN and OUT points (see CLIP MANAGEMENT, IN AND OUT POINT HANDLES).
You can tap CUE to go to the IN point at still, turn the KNOB counterclockwise to roll into the IN point handle, and
tap TRIM IN to move the IN point earlier into the clip, hence reclaiming material before the old IN point.  Double-tap
STOP, move The Slide to its upper limit, and tap STOP to cue to the OUT point.  You can then extend the end of
the clip (if an OUT handle exists) by turning the KNOB clockwise and tapping TRIM OUT.

SCAN MODE

Clips can be scanned from head to tail using the scan mode.  Double-tap the STOP key to enter the scan mode;
playback stops and The Slide moves to a position proportional to where the clip is parked between its IN and OUT
points.  Move The Slide up and down to scan the entire clip as fast as you move it.  If in gang mode, all ganged
channel’s clips scan together.  Tap STOP or PLAY to resume normal operation where the scan mode left off.  If
PLAY is used to exit the scan mode, there will be a delay before the clip begins to roll; you can avoid this delay by
using STOP to exit scan and waiting a short period before tapping PLAY.  Clips may be trimmed while in the scan
mode.  Because clips are stored with handles that allow trimming before the IN point and after the OUT point, there
is an extended scan mode.  Hold ENTER while tapping STOP.  Now The Slide will scan the entire clip including its
handles, and trimming can be done to extend the clip’s limits.
