Gain Editing
Gain Editing functions include Adjust Level, Set Gain, Fade In, Fade Out and Relative
Fade. These are accessed by pressing SOFT KEY 2 while in the Editor. Gain Edits are non-
destructive. The gain is adjusted on playback, so the original audio data is unchanged and the
effect of Gain Edits can be removed at any time. See the section on Editing for more details.
Erase
The Erase function wipes any audio from the highlighted area and replaces it with silence.
This operation does not affect the running time of the file. Erase is non-destructive, and Erased
regions can be selected and "un-erased" at any time.
• When used in the File Select display, ERASE will delete a file.
• To clear a Hot Key assignment, hold ERASE and press the desired HOT KEY.
This does not erase the file that was assigned to the Hot Key.
• When used in the Directory Select display, ERASE will delete all files in a
Directory, including the file names.
Scrub Wheel
The SCRUB WHEEL plays audio forward or backward, at a speed proportional to the rate at
which the wheel is turned. Its operation is similar to locating an edit point with analog tape
recorders by manually rocking the reels back and forth; therefore the term “scrubbing” to a
particular point within a file. The Cursor indicates the position of audio being played by the
SCRUB WHEEL.
When a Menu is active, the SCRUB WHEEL will scroll the menu up or down.
Nudge Arrows
The LEFT and RIGHT ARROW buttons at the lower right of the keyboard may be used to
nudge the Cursor by 10 mSec (.01 seconds) of time. In the zoomed-in mode most often used
for detailed editing, this represents one pixel on the waveform display. When zoomed out it can
take multiple presses to see the Cursor move; this is because nudge always works at the finest
resolution available. "Nudge" will often be easier to use than the SCRUB WHEEL.
When a menu is active, the ARROWS will select items within the menu. When editing
names, the ARROWS move the cursor forward and backward through the text.
Undo
The UNDO key reverses the last operation. It is also possible to reverse the last Undo.
UNDO is also used with the MARK, ERASE and BLEEP keys to remove marks and restore regions
of audio that have been Erased or replaced with a Bleep.
Soft Keys
Two keys marked SOFT KEY 1 and SOFT KEY 2 are provided for future expansion. At
present, SOFT KEY 1 is programmed to select between digital and analog input sources. SOFT
KEY 2 is programmed to turn the internal speakers on or off. In the Editor it is also used to
select Gain Editing operations. Press the number corresponding to the selection of Audio
