The outer ‘shuttle’ wheel allows variable speed playback forward or backward at 2 x nominal speed whilst the
inner jog wheel allows you to ‘reel-rock’ or ‘scrub’ audio. It is possible to scrub all 24 tracks.
➸ NOTE : When shuttling or jogging, any automation data is ignored. When forward playback commences,
however, the automation data will be played back.
The entire wheel mechanism can be switched off using the WHEEL key located above the IN key to prevent
accidental use during critical playback (for example, when doing the final mixdown). When WHEEL is switched
ON, however, you can grab the jog wheel at any time during playback to scrub audio and identify edit points,
locate points, etc.
IN/OUT KEYS
Pressing either of these keys marks the current NOW time as the IN or OUT points. IN and OUT points can be
marked ‘on-the-fly’ even when a project is playing - there is no need to have to stop playback to mark an edit
point or create an edit region. When an IN/OUT region is marked, it is highlighted on the track display of the
LCD.
➸ NOTE : Although it is possible to place the OUT time before the IN time, if you attempt any kind of audio edit
or offline DSP process, you will be prompted that it is an invalid edit region. In other words, when using the IN
and OUT keys for editing, the IN time must always be before the OUT time.
