Activating Looped Playback
1. Move the now line to a location shortly before the section you’ll be looping.
2. Press LOOP so it’s lit.
3. Press PLAY—when the VS-2000 reaches the LOOP TO point, it starts over again at
the LOOP FROM point, playing the looped section over and over again.
4. Press STOP to halt playback.
5. To turn looping off, press LOOP so it’s not lit.
Preview
The VS-2000’s Preview feature plays a few moments of the
project just before and/or after the now line’s current
position. This can be handy when you’re trying to find the
precise time at which a recorded event occurs when you’re
placing locators (Page 182) or markers (Page 186). You can
set the preview length as described on the next page.
There are three PREVIEW functions. Press:
•
PREVIEW TO
—to play a few moments of the project
leading up to the now line’s current position.
•
PREVIEW FROM
—to play a few moments of the project
starting at the current position of the now line.
•
PREVIEW TO and PREVIEW FROM
—to play a few
moments before the now line through to a few moments
after it. This is called “PREVIEW THRU.”
Pinpointing an Event with the PREVIEW Buttons
1. Position the now line in the general area of the event you want to pinpoint, noting
its position in the current time location display.
2. Press PREVIEW TO to see if the preview reaches the event or plays right through it.
3. If PREVIEW TO doesn’t reach the event, move the now line forward in time slightly.
If it plays through the event, move the now line back a little.
4. Press PREVIEW TO again.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 until the preview ends just at the beginning of the event.
6. Note the now line’s current position and press PREVIEW FROM.
7. Make sure that none of the event is being chopped off at the front, and that as soon
as you hit PREVIEW FROM, you hear the event.
8. Adjust the now line’s position as necessary, checking it with PREVIEW FROM.
9. When you have the now line positioned at the moment at which the event occurs,
place a locator or a marker so that you can easily return to the event as you need to.
Setting the PREVIEW TO and FROM Times
1. Hold down SHIFT and press F4.
2. If “PlyRec” isn’t displayed above F4, press PAGE until it is.
3. Press F4 (PlyRec).
