Erase
The Erase function wipes any audio from the highlighted area and replaces it with
silence. This operation does not affect the running time of the file. Erase is non-destructive,
and Erased regions can be selected and "un-erased" at any time.
• When used in the File Select display, E RASE will delete a file.
• To clear a Hot Key assignment, hold E RASE and press the desired H OT K EY .
This does not erase the file that was assigned to the Hot Key.
• When used in the Directory Select display, E RASE will delete all files in a
Directory, including the file names.
Scrub Wheel
The S CRUB W HEEL plays audio forward or backward, at a speed proportional to the rate
at which the wheel is turned. Its operation is similar to locating an edit point with analog tape
recorders by manually rocking the reels back and forth; therefore the term “scrubbing” to a
particular point within a file. The Cursor indicates the position of audio being played by the
S
CRUB W HEEL .
When a Menu is active, the S CRUB W HEEL will scroll the menu up or down.
Nudge Arrows
The L EFT and R IGHT A RROW buttons at the lower right of the keyboard may be used to
nudge the Cursor by 10 mSec (.01 seconds) of time. In the zoomed-in mode most often used
for detailed editing, this represents one pixel on the waveform display. When zoomed out it can
take multiple presses to see the Cursor move; this is because nudge always works at the finest
resolution available. "Nudge" will often be easier to use than the S
CRUB W HEEL .
When a menu is active, the A RROWS will select items within the menu. When editing
names, the A RROWS move the cursor forward and backward through the text.
Undo
The U NDO key reverses the last operation. It is also possible to reverse the last Undo.
U NDO is also used with the M ARK , E RASE and B LEEP keys to remove marks and restore regions
of audio that have been Erased or replaced with a Bleep.
Soft Keys
Two keys marked S OFT K EY 1 and S OFT K EY 2 are provided for future expansion. At
present, S OFT K EY 1 is programmed to select between digital and analog input sources. S OFT
K EY 2 is programmed to turn the internal speakers on or off. In the Editor it is also used to
select Gain Editing operations. Press the number corresponding to the selection of Audio
Input, Speaker On/Off status or Gain Edit operation shown in the display. For example,
pressing S
OFT K EY 1 then the number 1 selects the Analog Input. Pressing either S OFT K EY a
second time returns to the previous display without change.
