Setting the Scrub Length
There are two parameters that can affect the precision
in which you can scrub audio in the VS-1680: the Scrub
Length and the position of the cursor in the time display
(Fig. 9). The scrub length controls the size (in millisec-
onds) of the section of audio that is looped and can set
as low as 25ms or as high as 100ms. The default value
is 45ms and that seems to work best for most applica-
tions. Use the following procedure to adjust the Scrub
Length:
1) Press STOP if the VS-1680 is currently in play mode.
2) Hold SHIFT and press SCRUB and the Scrub
Length screen will be displayed.
3) Use the TIME/VALUE dial to adjust the scrub length
as desired.
4) Press PLAY/DISPLAY to return to the play screen.
The position of the cursor in the time display will control
the amount of time advanced with each turn of the
TIME/VALUE dial. You can set the dial to advance in
hour, minute, second, frame, or even subframe incre-
ments. You can also set it to advance by measures,
beats, or markers. Setting the cursor under the frame
portion of the time display will work best for most edit-
ing applications. Use the following procedure to adjust
the position of the cursor in the time display:
1) Press PLAY/DISPLAY so that the main play screen is
displayed.
2) Hold SHIFT and press the UP CURSOR (PANE
5
)
button until the time portion of the display is selected.
3) Use the LEFT/RIGHT CURSOR buttons to place the
cursor under the desired increment for advancing
the time display. For example, if you want the
VS-1680 to move one frame at a time when the
TIME/VALUE dial is turned, the time display would
be as follows: 00h00m00s00
f00.
