Transport/Locate operations

Searching for a point while you listen
"Nudge" is a function that repeatedly plays back a
short region before or after the current location. By
using this function, you can listen as you move the
current location in small steps to find a desired point.
This is convenient when you need to specify a loca-
tion accurately, such as when specifying the auto
punch-in/out points, or when specifying a range for
track editing.
1
Use the transport or the shuttle function to
locate to the approximate point you want
to find.
2
With the transport stopped, press the [JOG
ON] key.
The [JOG ON] key will light, and the Nudge
function will be turned on. The audio will be
played back repeatedly, starting at the current
location and continuing for a specified length of
time (100 msec by default).
3
To move the current location forward, turn
the [DATA/JOG] dial toward the right. To
move it backward, turn the [DATA/JOG]
dial toward the left.
The current location will move in millisecond
units if time display is selected as the counter dis-
play method, or in sub-frame units if timecode
display is selected. You can also use the [SHUT-
TLE] dial to move the current location rapidly.

direction of the Nudge function, press the

playback) and play mode (playback direction).

To adjust the nudge time, move the cursor
to the TIME field of the NUDGE area, and
use the [DATA/JOG] dial to set the nudge
time.
The nudge time can be specified in the range of
25 ms–800 ms (default= 100 ms).

To change the play mode, move the cursor
to the PLAY MODE button in the NUDGE
area, and press the [ENTER] key to switch
between the following two play modes.
• AFTER
Playback will repeat over an area corresponding
to the nudge time and starting at the current loca-
tion (default setting).
• BEFORE
Playback will repeat over an area corresponding
to the nudge time and ending at the current loca-
tion.
