When the zoom button is pressed, it toggles the arrow buttons to zoom mode, allowing you to zoom
in and out of your edit both horizontally with the left and right arrows, and vertically with the up and
down arrows.
Edit: This button puts the four cursor keys into “edit” mode, where they perform the following functions,
depending on the currently highlighted screen component:
If a track is selected, the up/down buttons move the selection focus up and down through the track
list.
If a lter is selected, the left/right buttons move the selection focus left and right through the current
track’s lter list. The up/down buttons move the selection focus to the lters in the track above or below
the current track.
If a clip is selected, the left/right buttons move the selection focus left and right through the clips on
the current track. The up/down buttons move the selection focus to the clip in the track above, or below,
the current clip.
Above these controls you will nd a number of shortcut controls for the transport section options (Fig.
7.4.10).
Rewind: This button behaves the same as the rewind button in Tracktion’s transport section. Tapping it
twice in quick succession though is equivalent to pressing Tracktion’s return-to-zero button.
Fast-forward: This button behaves the same as the fast-forward button in Tracktion’s transport section.
Play: This button behaves the same as the play button in Tracktion’s transport section.
Stop: Click this button once to stop playback. Clicking it when play-back is stopped returns the play-
head cursor to the start of the edit. Unlike the return-to-zero button, this will jump straight to the start
of the edit. RTZ on the other hand will jump to the start of a selected clip if one lays between the current
play-head cursor position and the start of the edit.
Record: This button when held down with the play button activates Tracktion’s record mode.
Loop, Punch, Click, Snap, End to End, and Scroll: These buttons toggle their respective modes.
Clicking these buttons is equivalent to clicking their on-screen counterparts.
Slave: This button toggles MIDI timecode chasing. Clicking this button is equivalent to clicking the MTC
icon in Tracktion’s transport section.
