GETTING AROUND GETTING AROUND GETTING AROUND GETTING AROUND
When you first look at your MX-2424's front panel, the wide array of buttons can be
overwhelming. However, understanding that the MX-2424's front panel is divided into
several different control sections, each with it's own set of related functions, can help
bring the front panel into clear focus. Below is a list of the control sections with
descriptions of their functions, and Figure 3-1 shows where each control section is
located. But don't just use the figure alone as a guide - be sure also to have your MX-
2424 in front of you to really get the feel of where things are.
Control Section Descriptions
Track Function
These “master” buttons determine how the Track Select buttons will work.
For example, setting the Track Select buttons to be used for switching a
track's input monitoring mode, selecting a track to record on or selecting a
track to edit.
Track Select
The buttons immediately below the Track Meters make up the Track
Select section. In their default mode, these buttons record enable tracks.
However, they can also be used to switch a track's input monitoring mode
or select a track for editing. The function of the Track Select buttons is
determined by the Track Function buttons.
Edit Controls
This section gives you control over the MX-2424's front panel editing
features. Use these buttons to make edits such as, cut, copy, paste, etc.
Buttons to undo or redo edits are also found here. (A few editing functions
that are associated with fine tuning in/out points and moving audio
selections are conveniently placed near the Jog/Shuttle Dial.)
Transport & Locate
There are two rows of buttons in this section. Use the top row for Locate
functions, such as, creating a playback loop or setting and jumping to
locate points. The bottom row has all the basic Transport buttons,
including Stop, Play, and Record.
