Instant Replay Owner's Manual Page 9
The 50 Hot-Key Assignments are referred to as a Bank. There are ten Banks numbered 1 to 10. Each
Bank is like a separate "page"; changing Banks is equivalent to flipping a page, and presents a
different set of Hot-Key Assignments. Note that the ten Banks all have access to all the Cuts recorded
in Instant Replay. Banks are a convenient way to organize Instant Replay's audio collection. The
different Banks might contain sounds for different purposes, or they might be used by different
people. A total of 500 Cuts can be assigned to Hot-Keys if all 50 keys in each of the 10 banks are
assigned to a different Cut. However, any Cut can be assigned to a Hot-Key in any or all of the
Banks. A Hot Key may contain only one Cut at a time.
The remaining Cuts not assigned in the currently selected Bank are still accessible with the S CROLL
A RROW keys or the "Find" function, and can be used to replace an existing Hot-Key Assignment at
any time.
Once the Cut is assigned to a Hot-Key, the Hot-Key number is also displayed in the lower right
corner of the display. For example, 4-32 indicates that "4" is the currently selected Bank number and
"32" is the Hot-Key number the displayed Cut is assigned to. Cuts that are not assigned to a Hot-Key
in the currently selected Bank show the Bank number followed by 00. This is true even if the Cut is
assigned to a Hot-Key in one of the other Banks.
Cut Index Numbers
There are 1,000 unique Index Numbers that identify each Cut; they range from 000 to 999. When a
Cut is recorded, Instant Replay automatically assigns the lowest available Index Number to the Cut.
However, you can also choose another empty Index by using the S
CROLL A RROW K EYS . Whenever
RECORD OVERWRITE is on, you can choose to re-record and replace an existing Cut while
retaining its previously assigned Index Number and any Hot-Key Assignments.
The Index Numbers of Cuts can be changed to any empty Index Number using the Move Cut
operation.
When more than one Cut is present on the Hard Disk, the S CROLL A RROW K EYS will select any Index
Number for playback.
Pressing F IND and typing an Index Number will immediately locate a Cut for playback.
The "Find" Function
You can quickly locate Cuts with a high-speed search function called Find. The H OT -K EY buttons
double as an alphanumeric keyboard for entering a Cut's Name or Index Number. Press the F IND key
and type the Name or Index that you wish to locate, followed by E NTER . When searching by Name, a
partial entry of a name followed by the A STERISK (“*”, H OT -K EY number 40) will find any Cut that
starts with those letters. See page 9.
Playlists
A Playlist is a group of Hot-Keys that play sequentially in one of two ways: one-at-a-time, each time
the P
LAY button is pressed (MANUAL STEP), or one after the other with no breaks (FOLLOW-ON).
Playlists are built from Hot-Keys stored within the selected Bank, and may consist of up to 999
events. There is no limit to the number of times a Hot-Key can appear in the list.
Each Bank contains one Playlist, so a total of ten exist within the machine. See “Using Playlists” on
page 24.
External Drive Capability
Instant Replay 2.0 has a P RINTER connector on the rear panel which can also be used for connecting
an external drive. This is intended for use with a parallel port compatible Iomega

Zip

drive.
(Note that this is different from Instant Replay 2.0 Model 552, which used SCSI devices.) The
