JUMP KEY MODE

The Jump Keys can operate in
one of 3 different modes:
FIRST LAST
With this setting selected, the Jump
Left key will locate the playhead to the beginning of
the first event in the project. The Jump Right key will
locate the playhead to the end of the last event in the
project (this is how the TASCAM MX2424 works).
ABSOLUTE
With this setting selected, the
Left and Right keys jump to specific values.
JUMP
These values are entered in the Jump Left and Jump
Right registers located directly below.
LCT POINTS
With this setting enabled, the SX-1
will scroll through all Locate Points stored in the
project in chronological order, even if they are not
sequentially numbered that way.
JUMP LEFT & JUMP RIGHT
here will dictate where the playhead locates after a
Jump Left or Jump Right in Absolute Jump Mode.
OFFSET
This setting acts much like a pre-roll for
the Jump commands. If the value is anything other
than zero, the playhead will locate to the point dic-
tated by the Jump mode, adding or subtracting the
Offset value from the original location.
"CUEING MODE"
This setting causes Fast For-
ward and Rewind to operate audibly at up to a maxi-
mum 1.5 times the playspeed while monitoring
audio. The effect is much like Scrub, and is useful for
situations when an external video deck is chasing the
SX-1.
REWIND
This key [ ] rewinds the project.
FAST FOWARD
This key Ô fast forwards the project.
