P RE -R OLL
Enables you to set the time ahead of the TAIL or FADE OUT point for auditioning during edits.
Depending upon the nature of the cut, or its total length, you may want to vary the length of the PRE-
ROLL. If the PRE-ROLL length exceeds the duration of the cut, it will be ignored and the entire cut will
play.

You may use the selection knob and the navigation arrows to adjust the PRE-ROLL value.
Press ENTER to save or EXIT to abandon the PRE-ROLL setting without changes.
F ADE I N
After you have recorded a cut, you can program a FADE IN. FADE IN is linear and always begins at the
HEAD point of a cut, and cannot exceed total cut length or the amount of time between the HEAD point
and the beginning of a FADE OUT. The maximum FADE length is 40 seconds.
When adjusting FADE IN duration, time is measured as the number of seconds from the HEAD point to the
end of the fade. A value of 00:00:00:00:00 equals no Fade In.
NOTE: If you use PAUSE during the FADE IN period of the cut’s playback, when PAUSE is released the
FADE IN will start over from silence.
