Finding a desired location
(Scrub/Preview function)
The MRS-1044 provides a "Scrub" function that lets you
search for a desired location while repeatedly playing a
short region before or after the current location. This is
convenient when you want to accurately find the point at
which a specific sound starts or stops. When the Scrub
function is on, you can use the "Preview function" that
plays 0.7 seconds of the preceding or following sound
when you press the REW [
T
] or FF [
Y
] key. By using the
Scrub and Preview functions together, you can find the
desired location quickly and accurately.
When the Scrub/Preview functions are being used, only
one of the tracks 1 10 can be played back.
1.
In the main screen, hold down the STOP [
P
] key
and press the PLAY [
R
] key.
This turns on the Scrub function, and a short region (40
milliseconds by default) following the current location will
play back repeatedly.
When the Scrub function is on, the SCRUB indicator will
appear in the lower right of the display.
2.
Press one of the status keys 1 – 6, 7/8, or 9/10 to
select the track that will be scrubbed.
For the stereo tracks (7/8, 9/10), the selection will alternate
between odd-numbered and even-numbered tracks each
time you press the status key.
3.
Use the cursor [
E
]/[
R
] keys to make the unit
displayed at the right edge of the counter ("MS" for
time display, or "TICK" for measure display) blink.
4.
Turn the dial to the left or right to find the desired
location.
While scrub playback continues, the current location will
move forward or backward in 10 millisecond steps (for
time display) or one-tick steps (for measure display).
5.
If you want to use the Preview function to hear the
region before the current location, press the REW
[
T
] key. To hear the region after the current
location, press the FF [
Y
] key.
If you press the REW [
T
] key, a region of 0.7 seconds
prior to the current location will play (ending at the current
location). If you press the FF [
Y
] key, a region of 0.7
seconds following the current location will play (beginning
at the current location). This is called "preview playback."
When preview playback ends, scrub playback will resume.
6.
To cancel the Scrub function, press the STOP [
P
]
key.
You will return to the main screen.
When the Scrub function is on, you can change the
direction of the scrub playback (whether it will play the
region before or after the current location), and the length
of the scrub playback region.

will appear. The characters in the lower left (TO/FRM)
