INTRODUCTION

GETTING AROUND A PROJECT

There are many convenient ways to move around the GRID.

TRANSPORT KEYS

The most obvious way, perhaps, is to use the REWIND and FAST FORWARD keys. Pressing

either or once will cause the project to rewind or fast forward at 10 x normal play speed and

pressing it again will cause the project to rewind or fast forward at 100 x normal play speed.

Pressing either of these keys again will revert to 10 x normal play speed.

During playback, simultaneously pressing PLAY ( ) plus either the or keys will allow you to

rewind or fast forward with ‘‘tape chatter’ and you will hear the audio rewinding or fast forwarding

at high speed much like a normal MTR.

NOTE: When rewinding or fast forwarding with ‘chatter’, you may notice that some tracks will

be dropped. This is normal as the connected machines cannot play all tracks at high speed.

However, if your project only has a few tracks to begin with, then this won’t be so noticeable.

LOCATE FUNCTION

Another way to get around a project would be to set locate points using the STORE LOCATE key

and use the LOCATE key to locate directly to those points. 100 locate memories may be stored

per project. You may also go to a timecode position directly by hitting LOCATE and typing in an

appropriate timecode value.

You may also mark ‘grab markers’ using the GRAB function (SHIFT+STORE LOCATE). This will

‘drop’ un-numbered markers along the scroll bar and these can be used as you like. You can mark

locate memories and grab markers ‘on the fly’ as you are playing back (or indeed, jogging, spooling,

even rewinding). 100 ‘grab’ markers can be set per project.

You can also use LOCATE with the IN, SYNC and OUT keys to go to these points.

You may also go to the start and end of a project using F5 and F6 in the GOTO LOCATE TIME

page when you press the LOCATE key.

NEXT/PREVIOUS CUE

By pressing PREV Q (SHIFT+PLAY TO) or NEXT Q (SHIFT+PLAY FROM), you can go to the start

and end of each cue in turn on the track(s) selected for edit. I.e.:

NOW

NEXT Q (SHIFT+PLAY TO) key

PREV Q (SHIFT+PLAY FROM) key

NOW

If a track is selected for edit, these keys take you to the start and end of each cue in turn on that

track. If no tracks are selected for edit, they take you to the start and end of each cue on the tracks

selected for playback (i.e. shown blue on the external monitor). If no tracks are selected for playback

or editing, these keys have no function.
