Shortcuts - White's Spectra VX3 Owner's Manual

10
VX has a number of keypad shortcuts that make certain tasks
3
easier. They have all been mentioned throughout the manual
(often in Tip boxes) and this chapter pulls them all together for
quick-reference.
How to quickly ground balance
Probably the most important short-cut:
• Pull/hold the trigger, then press/hold
• Bob the loop a few times over the ground until the thresh-
old sound is fairly constant
• Release
Tip: Check the ground first (use all-metal pinpoint) to make
sure there are no metal targets where you are trying to
ground balance.
How to hide/expand the Live Controls
By default, the Live Controls are displayed as a horizontal
menu. You can completely hide them (to increase the size of the
SpectraGraph region), or expand them to include the settings
(eats up more screen):
• Press
ZOOM+
• Press
ZOOM+
Tip: When you want to find the quietest frequency offset,
expand the LCB, scroll over to
and pull the trigger to get into Pinpoint mode. Go through
the offsets and look for the setting that gives the least pin-
point noise. Minimize the LCB when done.
