GOTO Function
At the top right of the computer front panel’s numeric keypad you will find a GOTO
button. Pressing this produces the timecode pop-up and mini Events List. Either stab
on an event/cue (see Section 4 for more details) and hit OK to locate to that point, or
enter a timecode from the numeric keypad, and hit OK. The CLEAR button can be
used to clear an incorrect timecode entry. Use QUIT to clear the pop-up without
effecting a change.
The GOTO function remembers the timecode of the last ‘goto’. To repeat a locate
simply press GOTO followed by OK.
Frame and Event Jogs
In addition to the conventional transport keys on the front panel, the < and > buttons,
to the left of the TC 1-5 buttons, can be either used to provide a frame jog function,
step from one event (mark/cue, DiskTrack audio clip etc.) to another, or move from
the start of a mix to the mix end time (or vice versa). The choice is made in the Desk
Config/Transport Layout entry of the FILE/SETUP menu. See Section 9 for more
details.
The < and > boxes, above the timecode readout on the MIX-DESK display, step from
one event to another (see Events List, Section 4).
Events List Locates
The Events List provides intuitive and simple ways to locate to specific marks or cues
in the recorded material. See Section 4 for more details.
Overview Display Locates
The Overview display also provides a very simple way of locating, to any spot in a
recording or mix, with a stab of the pen. See Section 5 for more details.
Cycle Function
The two timecode boxes above the Cycle box on the right of the MIX-DESK display
are used to set up and display Cycle Start and End times. Times can be either entered
‘on-the-fly’ or off-line. Press the dedicated CYCLE START button on the front panel to
capture the current Desk time as the Cycle Start time. Now move the system to the
required Cycle End time and press the CYCLE END button.
To specify Cycle Start and End times off-line, stab on the timecode boxes (the upper
box represents the Start; the lower box the End) to call up the timecode calculator and
mini Events List. Either stab on events/cues to cycle between them or enter timecodes
in the usual way.
Regardless of the system’s current position, if you select the CYCLE button or stab on
Cycle, the system will locate to the Cycle Start time, play forwards to the Cycle End
time, rewind and repeat the process. If you need to adjust the Cycle Start or End time
by a few frames or seconds, simply use the pen to drag the appropriate timecode
numbers up or down.
