User Manual

TIP: Timecode entry appears in the upper-left corner of the Fairlight Timeline on the
computer screen. If you wish to change the timecode to display subframes, you can
right-click the timecode display and choose the display setting you wish from the
drop-down menu. You can also open a floating Timecode window that displays the
playhead position (CTI) from the Workspace menu.
Numeric Keypad Locators
The Fairlight Audio Editor includes three user-defined locators that are used to quickly move
the playhead to a stored timecode location. These non-permanent locators are designed to use
freely in editing and mixing, but are not saved with the project. A momentary-press on the GoTo
key is required to use, set, or clear the locators, which are assigned to the 1, 2 and 3 keys on the
numeric keypad. Navigating with locators is a fast and easy way to jump to key positions in the
Timeline. Setting a locator based on the current timecode position is often the first and last
operation when recording macros so that the macro can start and end at the current timecode
position. At this time, locators are only available in the Fairlight Audio Editor.
To set one of the three user-defined locators:
1 Move the playhead to the timecode position that you wish to save as a locator
position. In this example you will assign the current playhead position to the first locator
on the 1 key.
2 Momentary-press the GoTo key. This illuminates the 1, 2, and 3 keys on the numeric
keypad. Continue to hold the GoTo key.
3 Momentary-press the 1 key until it tallys on to show that it has been set.
4 Release both the GoTo and 1 keys. You can follow the same steps to set the second
and third locators that are assigned to the number 2 and 3 keys. Locators can be set to
new timecode positions anytime while you work and do not have to be cleared before
setting a new location.
To use a locator for navigation:
1 Momentary-press the GoTo key. The number keys, 1, 2, and 3 illuminate. In this example,
you will go to locator number 2.
2 Continue to press the GoTo key. Quickly press and release the 2 key.
3 Release the GoTo key. The playhead jumps to the second locator timecode position.
NOTE: You need to first set a locator before it can be used. Locators are not saved
with the project.
To clear all locators:
1 Momentary-press the GoTo and Clear keys. The number keys, 1, 2, and 3 illuminate,
but continue pressing the GoTo and Clear keys.
2 Long press each of the 1, 2, and 3 number keys to tally them on.
3 Release the GoTo and Clear keys. The locators are now clear and will not affect the
playhead position until they are set to new timecode locations.
