® RTZ (Return To Zero)
Pressing this button will cause the tape to
• • /nn F.FWD or REW) to the Zero
position (00:00) where it will stop. If PLAY has
aiso been pressed, the tape will begin to PLAY
when It reaches Zero. If REPEAT is aiso en-
gaged, a playback loop will be created.
®STC (Search To Cue)
Pressing this button will cause the tape to
roll (¡n either F.FWD or REW) to the CUE
position that has been entered in the Studio 8's
Memory by using the CUE button. The tape
will stop when it reaches the CUE point. If
PLAY is aiso engaged, the tape will begin to
PLAY when it reaches the CUE point. If STC
¡s pressed and no CUE point has been entered
into Memory, the tape will REWind to the
LOAD start point. If the LOAD function is
not in use, the tape will run to the end of the
tape.
®CUE
This button is used to establish the CUE
point in the Studio 8 Memory system. It can
be used while the tape is stopped or rolling.
RESET dees NOT cancel CUE. A CUE point can
be used to automate the punch-out process. If it
is carefully placed at the desired punch-out
point, the transport will stop, or REWind if
REPEAT is used. The Record Mode is turned off
in the process.
®CHECK
Pressing this button will display the CUE
Position in minutes and seconds on the Counter.
©REPEAT
Pressing this button will cause the tape to
eturn To Zero when it reaches the CUE
point and then PLAY again; repeating the pro-
gram material continuously from Zero to CUE
until the REPEAT function is turned off
This IS very useful for rehearsing punch-ins or
remixes. Pressing any transport control except
PLAY and RTZ turns off the REPEAT function.
® LOAD
This feature insures that your tape will never
run off the reeis at either end. When LOAD is
engaged the tape will stop, no matter what
transport mode it is in, before reaching either
the beginning or end of the tape. The Memory
caiculates the tape length and the transport's
relative position within that length. The basis
for these calculations is forty minutes of play-
mg time using 1800 feet (549 m) 7-inch reeIs of
1 mil. tape. If you use 5-inch reeIs, which is NOT
recommended, or a nonstandard tape thick-
ness, the LOAD function will not work prop-
erly. See the operations section of the manual
( Set Up") for more on this feature. Pressing
LOAD a second time disengages the function
(turns it off). We advise using the LOAD func
tion whenever you are working with the Studio
8.
