QUICK LOCATE KEYS
To facilitate easier locating, 'quick keys' are also available.
It is possible to use the numeric keypad 0-9 as Quick Locators without opening the GOTO/
MEMORY windows.
To Store Quick Locates, press and hold MEMORY and press a numeric key 0 - 9.
To Recall Quick Locates, press and hold GOTO and press a numeric key 0 - 9.
If you press (and hold) either MEMORY or GOTO but don't press a numeric key, upon re-
leasing either key (MEMORY or GOTO), the usual locator pop-up will be shown on the LCD
as shown above.
NOTE:
The new QUICK LOCATE function uses locator memories 90-99 as the default on the as-
sumption that these are unlikely to be actually used as 'real' locator memories. Operation should be
transparent. However....
By pressing GOTO or MEMORY, you can use Q5 to select which group of 10 locate memories will be
used for the QUICK LOCATE memories. These can subsequently be used as 'quick locates'.
So, for example, if you have a bunch of useful locate points in Locate memories 50-59, these can be
nominated as your 'quick locate' memories.
GOTO NEXT / PREV CUE
Another option allows you to locate to the next or previous 'cue' without opening the GOTO/
MEMORY windows.
This is a quick way of moving around a project where locate markers have not been set. To go
the to the next and previous cues, press and hold the GOTO key whilst pressing the numeric
keypad +/- keys.
However, there is a certain logic to the function that needs to be understood.
When no tracks are selected for EDIT, pressing GOTO and + will simply go to the start and
then the end of every cue on every track. For example:
And so on.
However, with (say) tracks 1 and 2 selected for EDIT, GOTO +/- will only go to the start and
end of the cues on the selected track(s):
And so on.
Of course, in all cases, GOTO - has the opposite effect.
Furthermore, in the MAIN SCREEN / GRID and the main EDIT / DSP mode pages, you can
use SHIFT + Q5 to move between the next and previous cues. In this way, you can skip
through a project very quickly.
