Large Nudge Mode
Pressing the NUDGE button while holding down SHIFT displays eight functions on the
LCD, and assigns them to the corresponding V-Pot buttons. These functions allow you
to move the selected region or events by various amounts, or to a specific position.
The position of the first selected region or event is displayed above V-Pots 3 and 4. If
nothing is displayed—either a window that does not allow the selection of regions or
events is open, or no regions or events are selected.
The functions are as follows:
The cursor buttons emulate the computer keyboard’s cursor keys, allowing easy
selection of a region or event.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
Pressing the NUDGE button a second time disables Large Nudge mode.
Temporary Nudge Mode
To use Nudge temporarily (for one or two small moves), hold down the NUDGE key,
and use one or more of the V-Pots: this will execute the selected function, and exit
Temporary Nudge mode as soon as you release the NUDGE button.
In Temporary Nudge mode, the cursor buttons emulate the computer keyboard’s
cursor keys, allowing easy selection of a region or event.
