transport mode (PLAY, RECORD, FF, REV). The ALARM state presented on the display
shares functionality with STATUS. The Select buttons can be used to cycle through alarms
and I/O status.
CONFIG Button: Pressing CONFIG when it is not lit, enters the CONFIG menu. Pressing CONFIG when it is
lit turns Off the CONFIG menu (returning you to the default TRANSPORT menu). The
CONFIG menu can only be entered from the STOP mode. The CONFIG menu remembers
which parameter it is set to when exited, and will return to that same parameter when
the menu is re-entered.
MEDIA Button: Pressing MEDIA when not lit, enters the MEDIA menu. Pressing MEDIA when it is lit will
turn Off the MEDIA menu (returning to the default TRANSPORT menu). The MEDIA menu
can only be entered from the STOP mode. The MEDIA menu remembers which
parameter it is set to when exited, and will return to that same parameter when the
menu is re-entered.
Transport Control Buttons: The transport buttons, described below, are always active.
STOP : The STOP button has a dual function. When playing back a clip (PLAY, FF, or REV)
the first push of STOP acts as a pause mode: the playback is paused, the current point of
the clip is displayed, and the STOP button flashes. A second push of STOP completely
stops the playback and directs Ki Pro Rack's outputs into an E to E mode (the currently
selected inputs bypass to the outputs). To determine at a glance if the STOP button is in a
"pause" mode, note that the stop button will flash if media playback is paused. The STOP
button is fully illuminated in "stop" mode.
PLAY : Press PLAY to begin forward playback of the current clip at normal speed.
RECORD : Press the red button to begin recording. Once in RECORD mode, all other
transport buttons are locked-out except the STOP button.
FFWD : Press button to begin fast playback of the current clip at 2x speed. Successive
pushes increase the speed to 4x, 8x, and 16x. (Pushing the button after 16x speed is
reached has no further effect.) When fast-forwarding, audio is muted.
REV: Pressing REV when not lit, begins playback of the current clip in reverse at 1x
speed. Successive pushes increase the speed to 2x, 4x, 8x, and 16x. (Pushing the button
after 16x speed is reached has no further effect.) When playing in reverse, audio is muted
for all speeds.
SELECT (up/down): The SELECT up/down buttons operate differently
depending on whether Ki Pro Rack is in the TRANSPORT mode or the MENU
mode. In the TRANSPORT mode, the SELECT buttons select clips and operate
like "previous" and "next" keys. When a clip is selected, Ki Pro Rack "cues" it to
the beginning. Note that ordering and playback of clips is based on timestamp order
(creation date), not clip name. However, in a playlist, ordering and playback is
determined by playlist order. In the MENU mode, the SELECT buttons select parameters
for adjustment. Holding down either of the SELECT buttons causes them to repeat.
ADJUST (up/down): The ADJUST up/down buttons operate differently depending on
whether Ki Pro Rack is in TRANSPORT mode or MENU mode. In TRANSPORT mode, and in
the "Pause" mode (single push of STOP from PLAY mode), the ADJUST buttons "single
step" the current clip at a rate of one frame per button push (up=forward,
down=reverse). In the MENU mode, the ADJUST buttons adjust the selected parameter.
Holding down either of the ADJUST buttons causes them to repeat.
