Shortcut Audio Editor Owner’s Manual

The Display

Shortcut features a backlit LCD display that provides extensive information about

machine operations. The display can show monaural or stereo waveforms, listings with up to

seven lines of text, or a combination of graphics and text. At times the display will become

interactive and show options to assist the user. A control is provided on the rear panel to

adjust the viewing angle (contrast). More detail about the display is presented throughout the

manual.

Zoom In and Zoom Out

While editing, ZOOM IN will magnify the waveform display to allow more accurate editing.

Conversely, ZOOM OUT expands the time scale. Four levels of resolution are available, showing

a screen time display of 2, 5, 10 and 20 seconds. ZOOM operates only in the Edit mode, not

during Record or Play.

Holding the ALT key while using the ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT keys enlarges the waveform

to show low level signals in greater detail, or reduces magnification so loud signals are fully

displayed.
