Fast Forward
In Edit mode,
FF
(fast forward) will play audio at a speed beginning at twice normal, and
increasing in speed after a few seconds. At higher speeds, audio will play in "chunks" like a
CD player. The FF key is illuminated when active.
• Holding P
LAY
and pressing FF will play audio at twice normal speed.
• Pressing FF twice locates immediately to the end of the file.
Rewind
In Edit mode, the
R
EW
(rewind)
key performs three functions:
• Press R
EW
to roll audio backward like a tape recorder. The speed will begin at
twice normal, and increase after a few seconds. At speeds above normal, audio
will play in "chunks" like a CD player. The R
EW
key is illuminated when
active.
• Hold R
EW
and press P
LAY
to play audio in reverse at normal speed.
• Pressing R
EW
twice locates immediately to the beginning of the file.

L

again. When in Play with looping on, the P

key flashes. (S

but Loop remains active.) The L
OOP
key is illuminated when active.

Bleep
Audio will be non-destructively replaced with a "bleep" tone when the B
LEEP
button is
pressed. There are three operating modes:
• In Play mode, the B
LEEP
button replaces the audio output of the file being
played. It has no effect on the file itself.
• In Record mode the B
LEEP
button replaces incoming audio with a tone. The
tone is recorded to disc along with the original audio. The Bleep can be
removed and the original audio will be restored.
• At the Edit level, an area of audio may be selected on the display and replaced
with the bleep tone by holding I
NSERT
and pressing B
LEEP
.
Hot Keys
The 10 numeric keys of the keyboard have the dual purpose of serving as storage
locations for audio clips called "Hot Keys". A set of 10 Hot Key Assignments is stored with
each Directory, and is recalled whenever the Directory is selected. H
OT
K
EYS
have two uses:
• Instant playback of pre-selected audio files
• Storage of audio intended for future use during edit operations.
