• To Clear a Hot Key assignment, hold ERASE and press the HOT KEY. (This does not
erase the file.)
Using Hot Keys To Compare Audio Versions
Since Hot Keys are operational while editing audio, it is possible to compare the original
version of a File with an edited one. To do this, assign the File to a HOT KEY before editing. As
work progresses, the HOT KEY can be used to play the unedited version of the file.
Programming A Hot Key To Play Clipboard Contents
It is often important to know what audio is present in the Editor’s “clipboard”. The
user may have forgotten what the last CUT or COPY operation was; or wish to compare the
clipboard with other audio to help in decision making.
Shortcut solves these problems by allowing the changing contents of the clipboard to be
assigned to a Hot Key. Pressing the Hot Key will then play the clipboard at any time,
auditioning its audio as editing progresses.
To make this assignment, a File named _CLIPBOARD must first exist in the Files listing.
To inspect for this, press the FILES key and see if it is there. (_CLIPBOARD is always at the
bottom of the Files list.) If it is not present, create a _clipboard file by Editing any file and
performing a COPY operation. Exit the Editor.
Assigning the _CLIPBOARD to a Hot Key is done as a normal Copy to Hot Key
operation:
• Go to the File select level (FILES key)
• Select the _CLIPBOARD File.
• Hold COPY and press a HOT KEY.
The HOT KEY will now reflect the changing contents of the clipboard. As long as the
_CLIPBOARD file is never erased and the Hot Key is not reassigned, the clipboard contents will
be played by the assigned HOT KEY.
THE FIND COMMAND
The FIND command will locate a File by title within a specific Directory, without the need
to scroll through a lengthy list. Alternately, the FIND command can position the Cursor at a
specific time point within a File.
Finding A File By Title
• To find a File by title, go to the File display. (FILES key)
• Press the FIND key. (SPACE BAR)
• Enter the complete title, or a partial title followed by an asterisk "*".
• Press ENTER. The FILES listing will highlight the requested File title.
