Transport Controls

Front Panel

These keys provide standard tape-style transport con-
trols for navigating through the currently loaded
project.

JUMP Back

By default, the left

JUMP

key moves

the playhead to the the beginning of the first event in
the project. However, it is possible to set this

JUMP

key to function differently. These settings are made
in the LCD

TRANSPORT

screen (pictured below).

JUMP Forward

By default, the right

JUMP

key

moves the playhead to the end of the last event in the
project. However, it is possible to set this

JUMP

key

to function differently. These settings are made on
one of the LCD’s

PREFERENCES

screens (the

TRANSPORT

screen pictured below).

LCD Jump Controls

There are controls on the

LCD’s

TRANSPORT

screen for setting Jump function-

ality.

Press

SHIFT

, then, from the

LCD ACCESS MODE

section, press

SETTINGS/ PREFS

. Use the

NEXT PAGE

soft key to scroll to this screen.

JUMP KEY MODE

The Jump Keys can operate in

one of 3 different modes:

FIRST LAST

With this setting selected, the

JUMP

Left key will locate the playhead to the beginning of
the first event in the project. The

JUMP

Right key

will locate the playhead to the end of the last event in
the project (this is how the TASCAM MX-2424
works).

ABSOLUTE

With this setting selected, the

JUMP

Left

and

JUMP

Right keys jump to specific values. These

values are entered in the Jump Left and Jump Right
registers located directly below.

LCT POINTS

With this setting enabled, the SX-1 will

scroll through all Locate Points stored in the project
in chronological order, upon repeated presses of the

JUMP

keys, even if they are not sequentially num-

bered that way.

JUMP LEFT & JUMP RIGHT

Settings entered here

will dictate where the playhead locates after a Jump
Left or Jump Right in Absolute Jump Mode.

OFFSET

This setting acts much like a pre-roll for the

Jump commands. If the value is anything other than
zero, the playhead will locate to the point dictated by
the Jump mode, adding or subtracting the Offset
value from the original location.

CUEING MODE

This setting causes Fast Forward

and Rewind to operate audibly at up to a maximum
1.5 times the play speed while monitoring audio. The
effect is much like Scrub, and is useful for situations
when an external video deck is chasing the SX-1.

PLAY MODE

This determines the behavior of the

transport after any locate operation. There are three
modes:
