Edit Controls - Nagra Seven Operating Instructions Manual

Edit controls

All features of the editor are controlled either with the touchscreen or by means of the two level
potentiometers. In the edit mode, the left pot is used to advance or reverse the audio up to 1x nominal speed
depending on the angular rotation of the pot. The right pot is a "jog" function and allows the graphic audio to
be moved back and forth in direct relation to the pot position.
Using the touchscreen, the audio can be advanced by "stroking" the graphic displays in either direction or
constant speed advance and rewind can be achieved by "swiping" the graphic display in the relevant direction.
Touching the screen or one of the pots will immediately cancel this feature.
It is recommended to use a stili (part number 2019180010) to manipulate the editor with precision.
The touchscreen also has 5 soft keys permanently located along the bottom of the screen, whose functions
change depending on the mode of the editor, each is explained below.
When active the displacement speed of the audio graphics is increased to the range of ± 8 x
nominal speed in each direction. Effective for the swipe function as well as under potentiometer
control. The button will be red while it is active.
