Fast Forward
In Edit mode,

EW
key is illuminated when

Bleep
Audio will be non-destructively replaced with a "bleep" tone when the B
LEEP
button is
pressed. There are three operating modes:
•
In Play mode, the B
LEEP
button replaces the audio output of the file being
played. It has no effect on the file itself.
•
In Record mode the B
LEEP
button replaces incoming audio with a tone. The
tone is recorded to disc along with the original audio. The Bleep can be
removed and the original audio will be restored.
•
At the Edit level, an area of audio may be selected on the display and replaced
with the bleep tone by holding I
NSERT
and pressing B
LEEP
.
Hot Keys
The 10 numeric keys of the keyboard have the dual purpose of serving as storage
locations for audio clips called "Hot Keys". A set of 10 Hot Key Assignments is stored with
each Directory, and is recalled whenever the Directory is selected. H
OT
K
EYS
have two uses:
•
Instant playback of pre-selected audio files
•
Storage of audio intended for future use during edit operations.
