Chapter 9: Navigation and Editing
This chapter describes how to navigate through
a session and how to edit audio and MIDI with
Control 24.
Navigation and Zoom
Navigation and Zoom functions (selected with
the NAV and ZOOM buttons) are controlled
with the UP, NEXT, DOWN, and PREVIOUS ar-
row buttons. These four buttons provide
roughly the same functionality as the arrow
keys on the computer keyboard (plus some addi-
tional features unavailable from the computer
keyboard, described below).
Navigation Mode
The Navigation functions are equivalent to the
four arrow keys on the alpha-numeric key-
board— which are used for basic navigation
within the various windows—except when nav-
igating selections. When they are navigating se-
lections, they are equivalent to the Move Edit
buttons in commands key focus.
Unlike the arrow keys on the alpha-numeric
keyboard, the arrow buttons on Control 24
don't mark in and out points. Instead, they
move the selection or cursor up and down verti-
cally in the Edit window.
Zoom Mode
The Zoom function increases or decreases the
horizontal and vertical components of the
waveforms displayed in the Edit window.
Select Adjust Mode
The Select Adjust mode functions make and ad-
just region selections in the Edit window of
Pro Tools via the quadrant switches and
Scrub/Shuttle wheel.
In addition, the cursor quadrant located directly
below the ZOOM button can be used to navigate
among fields/characters when entering alpha-
numeric values from the Numeric Keypad.
