Programmable Hot Keys play back cuts with single-keystroke speed. Once the Hot Keys are
assigned, they will remain in memory even if power is turned off between uses. Linear Playlists may
also be directly assigned to Hot Keys. Hot Keys are ideal for frequently used cuts, such as sound
effects, jingles, and station IDs.
In operation, cuts are found by simply typing in an ID number or scrolling through the directory
listings. The RC-320 Pause button works in playback or analog record mode, while the Loop button
is handy for repeating a cut without breaks.
The three menu choices, Utility, Setup and Edit, allow access and decision making on all related
items. Use the Setup and Utility menu functions to reconfigure DigiCart to best accommodate
current operational needs. The Edit menu works for both cuts and Playlists.
Four Machine Select keys allow a single RC-320 to independently control four DigiCarts.
