Undo; Shift; Set Functions; Jog Wheel - Akai DD1500 User Manual

At all times, the EXIT key will take you out of the current page and back to a 'safe'
situation.
In cases where you have arrived at a page by going through other pages first (for
example, SYSTEM SETUP, SETTINGS, FLASH ROM, LOAD) the EXIT key will take you
back step by step through those pages until you arrive back at the main display.

UNDO

The UNDO key offers twenty levels of undo and redo. If you make a mistake and do
something you're not happy with, press UNDO and the original data will be restored. If you
then find that you preferred the mistake, press REDO (SHIFT+UNDO).
You may undo/redo the last twenty things you did by repeatedly pressing UNDO or REDO
(SHIFT+UNDO). This allows you to try a few edits out in succession and then, if you don't
like the results, restore the original version.
NOTE 1: The UNDO function only refers to recording and editing. You cannot undo
anything else. For example, if you load a project and change your mind, you cannot undo
that. If you select some tracks for edit when you really meant to select them for record,
you cannot undo that.
NOTE 2: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO USE UNDO IF YOU DELETE A FILE (I.E. A PROJECT
OR LIBRARY OR CLIP) BY MISTAKE. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN DELETING FILES.

SHIFT

The large amber SHIFT key gives access to sub-functions on certain keys. Most keys' sub-
functions relate to the key itself (for example, ERASE removes audio between the IN and
OUT marks whereas its shift function, DISCARD, removes audio either side of the IN/OUT
marker).
When using the SHOW (SHIFT+SYSTEM), LOAD (SHIFT+SAVE) and GOTO STORE
(SHIFT + GOTO), the keys' LEDs flash indicating you are the key's 'alternative' function.
Most SHIFT functions are labelled but some are not. You may liken these to 'keyboard
shortcuts' such as you would find in a typical Mac™ or PC application where the more
'advanced' functions are conveniently available on certain convenient SHIFT key
combinations once you get to know the system better.

SET FUNCTIONS

Some keys' SHIFT function is SET, allowing you to set up certain parameters relevant to
the key (for example, SHIFT+NUDGE allows you to set parameters relevant to nudging
audio). When using SET pages, the LED will not flash but will be lit according to whether
that key is switched ON or OFF (for example, when setting NUDGE parameters, the LED
will indicate whether the NUDGE function is turned on or off. Similarly for JOG/SPOOL
SET).
NOTE: Not all keys' SET functions are operational. Some of the SET functions are
reserved for future enhancements via software.

JOG WHEEL

The jog wheel is normally used to 'scrub' audio when finding edit points. It is possible to
jog all tracks simultaneously. You may also use the jog wheel to 'spool' through a project
and the jog wheel acts as a speed control for forwards or backwards playback.
