Jog/Spool Set - Akai DD1500 User Manual

9 - GETTING AROUND THE GRID
When both LEDs are off, the jog wheel has no function. This position is recommended
when mixing down from the DD1500 so as to prevent accidental jogging during playback.
NOTE: The jog wheel may also be used to trim cues - please the section TRIM in EDITING
for more details

JOG/SPOOL SET

By pressing SHIFT+JOG/SPOOL, it is also possible to set maximum jog and spool
speeds. You will see this screen display:
The fields are:
JOG LIMIT
SHIFT+JOG LIMIT
SPOOL LIMIT
NOTE: When jogging or spooling at anything higher than nominal play speed, because of
restrictions regarding disk speed and SCSI bandwidth, the DD1500 will automatically drop
some tracks to allow the high speed playback. However, in most cases this is fairly
transparent and should not be particularly noticeable, especially on faster drives.
The RESET soft key on F5/F6 will reset the selections you make to their default value.
Press SHIFT plus the JOG/SPOOL key again or EXIT to leave this page.

This may be set to a maximum of 5 x play speed. If you
only occasionally require jogging to be greater than play
speed, it is recommended you keep this field set to 1 x
play speed and use the SHIFT+JOG functions described
next.
This allows you to set the maximum jog speed when
pressing SHIFT plus the jog wheel together. Maximum
speed is 5 x normal play speed (although 2 x normal play
speed is probably the most useful as the audio is still fairly
intelligible).
SHIFT+JOG is very convenient when editing because you
can use the jog wheel for normal jogging (JOG LIMIT set to
1 x PLAY SPEED - see above) to find edit points, etc., and
use SHIFT+JOG when you need to whiz through audio to
the next edit you wish to make.
This allows you to set the maximum spool speed which is 5
x play speed.
