GOTO and Event Locates
At the top right of the 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 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.
Note that a mini Events List also appears under the Overview display (see Page 5-21).
By having either this or the main Events list (see Section 4) on screen while mixing,
you can locate very simply to any pre-marked spot in the mix by simply stabbing your
pen on the appropriate cue. Alternatively, enter a cue’s unique system-given number
(1 *, 2 *, 3 * etc ) via the numeric keypad on the computer front panel (no need to add
the *), and hit the OK button to action the locate.
Frame and Event Jogs
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/Tr an sport L ayout entry of the FILE/SETUP menu. See
Section 9 for more details.
The < and > boxes, below the timecode readout on the MIX-DESK display, step from
one event to another (see Events List, Section 4).
Cycle
Use the dedicated CYCLE START and END buttons on the front panel to capture the
current Desk time as the Cycle Start/End times. The two timecode boxes below the
Cycle box on the right of the MIX-DESK display are used to show these times. Stab on
these boxes to enter known timecodes on the timecode calculator. Instigate the cycle
by pressing the CYCLE button or stab on Cycle. 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.
To cancel a cycle at any time, press STOP or deselect the CYCLE button or the Cycle
box. If you use STOP to do this, the cycle will resume if you subsequently press PLAY.
Jog Wheel
Finally, remember the Jog Wheel when you just want to wind back a few seconds.
Once you get used to it, you may find you don’t need to tap at the RW and FF buttons
as much as you used to.
