RCP-2001 Description
If you would like to play the title immediately, then
load it directly to the Player by double click. The
just selected group or title will be shown in the
display [14] during the selection using the Jog
Shuttle Wheel. Therefore the Archive can be
operated without looking constantly at the monitor.
You can move back to the Search mode by
pressing the [ARCHIVES] or [P.List] key [16, 17]
anew. The Archive mode ends automatically after
10 seconds without any entry.
[3] Cue-Play button
This key unites two keys: Cue and Play. If the
player is in Play Mode (green LED [46] lights),
then the player moves back to the last Cue-Point
by pressing the the [Cue-Play] button and begins
to play again from there. If the player is in Cue
Mode, then the title will be started from the current
Cue-Point.
Alternative Cue-Play function
As alternative to the described function of the
[Cue-Play] key, second variant can be chosen
from the program options. The title starts then by
pressing the [Cue-Play] key and goes until the
key is released and then it moves back to the
current Cue-Point.
[4] Cue Button
Pressing this key moves the player back to the
last Cue-Point and goes into Cue mode. Press
the Cue key longer than one second and the
player then moves to the beginning of the title or
by pressing one second again will move it to the
current Cue-Point.
[5] Play Button
Pressing this key starts the player from the current
position (i.e. the Cue-Point). If the Play button is
pressed again, the player goes into Pause Mode.
The current start position of the player (before
any anew pressing on the Play key is made) is
stored as a Cue-Point and can be started again
with the [Cue] key any time.
[6], [7], [8] Loop Player
Using Loop Player you can repeat any
programmed sequence as often as you wish. You
can set start and end points on-the-fly. Each Loop
can also be stored in Direct Cue key [15] and is
also at the disposal again after system restart.
You will find exact description how it works in
chapter 'First steps - Working with Loop Player".
[9] Pitch-Bend Buttons
Using these keys, you can temporarily increase
or decrease the play speed. These keys are an
indispensable tool for synchronizing the second
title's Beats. They are used to navigate by Beat
in a title, if the Player is in Cue Mode (see also
chapter 'Beat stepping using BPM Studio').
[10] Pitch Slider
Set the desired playback speed using the Pitch
Slider. The actual speed in BPM appears on the
display
[14] as well as the difference in percent. The slider
is only active if the [Pitch] key [24] is on and the
Pitch-LED [25] enlights.
[11] LOAD Button
The function of this key depends on the set mode
of the Jog Shuttle Wheel [1] and [2]. In Search
mode (standard), the next title of the Playlist is
loaded into0 the Player by pressing of the [LOAD]
button. In Cue mode, additional holding of LOAD
button will cause a change of current position of
Cue-Point by beat or by tact (see chapter 'Beat
stepping using BPM Studio' too). In Archive mode,
pressing the LOAD button will load the selected
title into the Playlist using the Jog Shuttle Wheel.
This title will be loaded into Player immediately
by double click. Holding the key longer than 3
seconds will replace the complete Playlist by the
selected group or playlist in the archive.
