Numeric Keypad Modes
The Operation preference for Numeric Keypad
Mode determines how the numeric keypad
functions for Transport.
There are two Shuttle Lock modes (Classic and
Transport), and one Shuttle mode.
No matter which Numeric Keypad Mode is se-
lected, you can always use the numeric keypad
to select and enter values in the Event Edit Area,
Location Indicators, and Transport fields.
To set the Numeric Keypad Mode:
1 Choose Setups > Preferences and click Opera-
tion.
2 Under the option for Numeric Keypad Mode,
select a keypad mode (Classic, Transport, or
Shuttle), then click Done.
Shuttle Lock Modes
With either Shuttle Lock mode (Classic or Trans-
port) you can use the numeric keypad to shuttle
forward or backwards at specific speeds: 5 is nor-
mal speed, 6–9 provide increasingly faster fast-
forward speeds, and 1–4 provide progressively
faster rewind speeds (4 is the slowest rewind
Shuttle Lock speed, 1 is the fastest).
Custom Shuttle Lock Speed
The highest fast-forward Shuttle Lock speed
(key 9) can be customized (Pro Tool 6.2 and
higher on Pro Tools|HD systems and DV Toolkit
for Pro Tools LE only). See “Custom Shuttle Lock
Speed” on page 244.
Classic Mode
This mode emulates the way Pro Tools worked
in versions lower than 5.0. With the Numeric
Keypad Mode set to Classic, you can:
• Play up to two tracks of audio in Shuttle Lock
mode. Press the Start key (Windows) or Con-
trol (Macintosh), followed by 0–9 for different
play speeds. Press Plus or Minus to reverse di-
rection.
:
•Recall Memory Locations by typing the Mem-
ory Location, followed by a period.
