7. TRANSPORT CONTROLS: These seven buttons control
the Fusion’s integrated MIDI sequencer/multitrack audio
recorder. The SET LOC button sets a locator point in the
song that you can jump to using the LOCATE button. The
remaining buttons control the recorder’s various Record
and transport functions just like on a regular tape machine
(or computer-based sequencer).
Like the 1-8 QUICK ACCESS BUTTONS, the LOCATE
button serves a variety of purposes depending on what
menu you are in and should help make your life easier (such
as setting key ranges, or locating key zones, etc.) These
shortcuts and additional functions will be covered in future
chapters as they come up.
