TRANSPORT CONTROLS
Allows for control of the corresponding transport
function. To activate transport controls press
TRANSPORT button below. Buttons are RED during
this operation.
SCRUB AUDIO: When tape is paused, the SPEED/
PITCH knob scrubs audio.
MOMENTARY MODE: Power up Magneto while
holding the desired transport control button to
change between Momentary (flashes RED) and Latch
(flashes GREEN) for that transport function. CV
control will also be changed for the desired function
to either Gate (RED) or Trigger (GREEN).
Example: Tape playback is reversed only while
pressing and holding REVERSE button.
RESTART is always trigger regardless of custom
settings. By default, transport controls are all
latching switches except for RESTART.
INFINITE: Disables the Record head and
continuously plays the most recent delay cycle
or loop length audio.
FORWARD/REVERSE: Reverses the playback
direction of the tape from the moment the
function is engaged.
In ECHO mode, the entire tape length is heard in
reverse until REVERSE is pressed again.
In LOOP or SAMPLE Mode, the loop or sample is
played in reverse.
RESTART: Restarts the playback of the loop
or sample from the starting point in LOOP or
SAMPLE mode. Aligns shifted head audio in
ECHO operation. Restarts deck immediately
from PAUSE, without mechanical lag.
PAUSE: Stops/Starts the playback of the tape
with mechanical slowdown/startup effect. The
speed of the slowdown/startup effect can be
adjusted by PLAYBACK LEVEL 4 knob when
the TRANSPORT and PAUSE buttons are RED
(transport is paused).
NOTE: The audio in the scrub buffer
represents about 1 foot of tape, so the length
of audio in the buffer depends on the SPEED
knob position when PAUSE is engaged.
Slower speeds result in more recorded audio
in the scrub buffer.
