AUTOLOCATOR

PRE-ROLL

The PRE-ROLL key allows you to set an offset to locate times. This offset is then added to all

locate time points you go to. For example, with a pre-roll of 3 seconds, if you locate to 00:01:00:00.0,

you will actually locate to 00:00:57:00.0. Similarly, with a 3 second pre-roll, you would locate three

seconds before the IN time in the event of you pressing GOTO IN. Similarly with GOTO OUT or

SYNC. Locating to a locate memory would have the same effect.

The principle use of PRE-ROLL is when synchronising mechanical tape players (VTRs, MTRs,

etc.) to the Akai system. Because mechanical devices need a certain amount of time to get up to

speed, it is necessary to locate to a point a few seconds before where you really want to be so that

the external devices get up to sync by the time you reach the actual locate point.

The PRE-ROLL time is set by pressing SHIFT+PRE-ROLL(SET). You will receive this screen:

Simply set the pre-roll time you require using the DATA ENTRY+/- keys or more directly from the

numeric keypad. If you get confused in this complicated screen, press RESET (F5/F6) to rest the

pre-roll time to the default time of 1 second!!

When PRE-ROLL is switched on, all locates will be minus the time set here.

You can also press SHIFT + STOP at any time to relocate the transport to its current position

minus the PRE-ROLL time.
