LX20 Essentials - Chapter 2
22 ADAT LX20 Reference Manual
INPUT SELECT BUTTONS
These determine how signals, both analog and digital, are routed to the LX20.
PITCH CONTROL BUTTONS
These increase or slow down the playback and record speeds to change pitch.
LOCATION BUTTONS
The LX20 can find particular places on tape. Example: You might want to shuttle
rapidly between a chorus and verse while overdubbing; by storing these locations,
you can push the corresponding button to tell the tape to “go fetch,” and park the
tape at the desired location.
EDIT, FORMAT, AND SELECT BUTTONS
These are really individual functions grouped in the same general area. They will
be described in detail as needed.
AUTO LOOP/AUTO RECORD BUTTONS
The LX20 can automate certain tape movement procedures, such as automatically
returning to a particular point after overdubbing, playing a section repeatedly,
automated “punching” to record over a specific section of a track (e.g., a bad phrase
in an otherwise perfect vocal), and so on. The Auto Play, Auto Return and Auto
Record buttons, in conjunction with the Location buttons, control the auto functions.
