Operation
The picture keys display 12 tracks while the Editor Megamode is active. Press a Track button to
toggle it in and out of the Track Selection. Use
Bank Up and Bank Down to access blocks of 12
tracks.
To select just one track, double-press its button.
To select a range of Tracks, hold one Track button down and double-press another.
To slide the current track selection up and down, hold the
Track Up/Down button, and turn the
Jog Wheel.
For a wider track selection, press
SEL.
Sel Operation
In SEL mode, the picture keys display 48 tracks. Use Bank Up and Bank Down to access another
block of 48.
You have the same selection methods e.g. using double-press, as in the normal Edit Megamode.
SEL mode has two ways of working: momentary or latched.
For latched mode, press and release
SEL. Make your selection of tracks, then press exit.
For momentary mode, press and hold
SEL. Make your selection of tracks, then release SEL.
Fade and Crossfade
Overview
In the fade menu we can place level ramps at the begining (fade-in) and end (fade-out) of each
clip. A fade-in starts from silence and ends at the full level of the clip, and a fade-out does the
opposite.
Crossfades between two clips are created by first layering one clip on top of another, then putting
a fade in the upper clip. This induces a complementary fade in the lower clip.
For clarity while reading this Help item, turn on Display Layering by clicking
View Display
Layering
above the Edit Screen.
We can also control the fade profile i.e. its shape, using the X-Level and X-Point parameters. To
find out about these, use Button-Help i.e. hold down the
Xplain key and press the appropriate
Soft Key.
Get Ready
Press the green Editor button.
Operation
Press the fade button.
Locate the transport so that the cursor crosses the middle of (at least) one clip. Identify the track
containing that clip, and double-press its button to make it the only selected track. (If necessary,
use the
Bank key.) The target clip should now be the only red clip on the screen. Red means
ready to edit.
Press the
fade head button. The clip now fades from its beginning to the cursor position. Move
the transport a little to the right and press
fade tail. These two commands are used to create
most simple fades. Press
UNDO (this will simplify the next step).
