A recommended workflow for creating or deleting markers is to use the Jog/Scrub
Wheel. Turn the wheel to move the playhead to the desired project position, and then
press the appropriate V-Pot to create or delete a marker.
 For coarse placement, simply use the wheel to move the playhead.
 For fine placement, press the SCRUB button, then use the wheel to precisely position
the playhead. (Only appropriate if creating or deleting an un-rounded marker).
For more information about using the Jog/Scrub Wheel, please refer to “Jog/Scrub
Wheel Zone” on page 98.
Large Marker mode is terminated by pressing the MARKER button a second time.
Temporary Marker Mode
If you want to enter Marker mode temporarily (to quickly perform a few marker
functions), hold down the Marker button and press one (or more) of the V-Pot buttons:
this will execute the marker function and leave marker mode as soon as you release the
MARKER button.
 When in this mode—with the MARKER button held—pressing the Function keys
F1—F8 jumps to the first eight markers (if created). As an example, to navigate to
marker 3, press-hold MARKER and press F3.
 To jump between markers, with (or without) the MARKER button held, simply press
the FAST FWD or REWIND buttons.
Nudge
The NUDGE button enables you to move (nudge) selected audio or MIDI regions (or
events) in Small, Large, or Temporary Nudge mode. Each mode is explained below:
Note: The Marker and Nudge modes are mutually exclusive; activating one deactivates
the other.
Small Nudge Mode
Pressing the NUDGE button reassigns the behavior of the FAST FWD and REWIND
buttons; pressing either FAST FWD or REWIND nudges the selected regions or events
by the value defined in Large Nudge mode (see below). Pressing the NUDGE button a
second time reverts to the default behavior of the FAST FWD and REWIND buttons (see
“Rewind” on page 89 and “Fast Fwd” on page 90).
Small Nudge mode is useful if you want to nudge regions or events, but still use the V-
Pots for other purposes.
