Chapter 6: Common S6 Tasks 64
Editing from the Surface
(M40-D (Display Module) Systems with Pro Tools Only)
S6 lets you edit clips using knobs and their Sel and In switches on Knob Modules. You can move a clip, trim the head or tail, adjust
Fade In and Fade Out, and adjust Clip Gain.
Clips are targeted for editing when they reach the playhead on the Display Modules when in any Waveform view as shown in
Figure 42. Resolution of edits and moves using the
Sel and In switches is determined by the Pro Tools Nudge value, which can also
be adjusted directly from S6. Edits made by rotating S6 knobs use a fixed value and knob acceleration.
Visual feedback is provided both in the Pro Tools Edit window and on the channel Display Modules by a variety of yellow outlines
depending on the mode.
To move or edit a clip:
1 Make sure Display Modules are configured in one of the available Waveform views. If necessary, go to Settings > Preferences
and select one of these views in the Display Module section.
2 On a Process Module, press Edit on the strip you want to edit. The Knob Module for that strip displays edit parameters, the num-
ber and type of which vary depending on track type as follows:
Audio Tracks Clip Gain, Move, Trim Back, and Trim Front, Fade Out, Fade In, Nudge Amount, Undo and Redo.
Instrument and MID Tracks Move, Trim Back, Trim Front, Nudge Amount, Undo and Redo.
Systems with two Knob Modules available for the strip can access all parameters simultaneously. On other systems, press the lit
> or < switch on the Knob Module to navigate between pages of Edit controls.
3 Cue the session so that a clip is in contact with the Display Module playhead. On the Display Module, a yellow border or bracket
appears around any clip that is in contact with the playhead on a strip in Edit mode (see Figure 42).
Once a clip is targeted for editing it will remain the S6 Edit target until another clip on the same track crosses the playhead, or
until you enable Edit mode on a different track.
You can adjust the zoom resolution of the Waveform displays in Settings > Preferences, and quickly zoom out or in using the Dis-
play 1 and Display 2 switches on the Master Module. See “Waveform Zoom” on page 42.
You can also enable Expand mode on that strip to see all Edit parameters simultaneously. See “Expand” on page 97.
