MACKIE HDR24/96 - Manual (Page 29)

HDR 24/96
Technical Reference 29
The Up and Down arrows change the vertical magnification, resizing so that the desired number
of tracks are displayed on screen. A minimum of 2 and maximum of 24 track spaces may be
displayed. Tracks are displayed contiguously (you can’t display just tracks 3, 8, 17 and 22), and
the track display can be scrolled vertically through all the tracks (when fewer than 24 are visible)
by using the scroll button at the right end of the track area. When a track is expanded to display
Virtual takes, the eight takes follow the action of these buttons in the same manner as any single
(collapsed) track view.
The Left and Right Zoom arrows expand or contract the time scale. The horizontal scroll button
at the bottom of the display moves the tracks horizontally along the time scale.
Zoom Tricks
The Dive key, [z], is used to perform a quick zoom at the current cursor location. It only remains
zoomed while the key is held down.
The magnifier buttons (the small + and - buttons) on the scroll bars
framing lower right corner of the track area act in the same manner as
the Zoom arrows. They are placed for convenience and as a normal
GUI windowing convention.
Keyboard shortcut for the Zoom Arrows:
[C TRL ] + any of the keyboard arrow keys
A keyboard shortcut to the Scroll buttons:
[A LT ] + any of the keyboard arrow keys
Lock Out
Watch out for the Lock Out on/off button that’s right next to those
magnifier buttons. If you miss and click on the Lock Out button, your
HDR24/96 will suddenly go dead, except for a little blinking button in
the lower right corner of the screen. See the Transport Controls section
for further details.
The Magnifier icon in the Tools panel changes the cursor into a magnifying glass. This
Magnifier cursor can be dragged over the area of interest to zoom
in to a highly detailed view of a small area. Click on one corner of
your target viewing area and drag to the opposing corner and
release.
Auto Scroll
When Auto-scroll is enabled, the Current Time line jumps to the center of the screen and the
tracks scroll behind it as the transport plays. When disabled, the track area remains fixed on the
screen and the Current Time cursor moves along the tracks as the transport plays. At lower
resolutions, with Auto-Scroll off, when the Current
Time cursor reaches the right edge of the screen, it
jumps back to the left edge, the track area jumps one
screen width, and the cursor makes another sweep. At
high zoom resolution, the cursor will play off screen
and remain out of view. The Auto Scroll button
blinking indicates that a zoom level has been selected
that the auto-scroll function cannot track.
