Jog Wheel and Shuttle Ring
The Jog Wheel and Shuttle Ring are similar controls with an important difference:
•
Turning the Jog Wheel changes the parameter it controls by an amount pro-
portional to how far the wheel is turned. When the Jog Wheel stops moving,
the parameter stops changing.
•
Turning the Shuttle Ring changes the parameter it controls at a rate deter-
mined by its position. The further the Shuttle Ring rotates, the faster the
parameter changes. When held in position, the parameter continues to
change at a fixed rate. When the Shuttle Ring is released, it automatically
returns to its center position and the parameter stops changing.
Both the Jog Wheel and Shuttle Ring can be rotated in either direction.

Jog Wheel
The Jog Wheel typically controls:
•
positioning the cursor in a project's timeline;
•
zooming horizontally or vertically;
•
editing a clip's head/tail.
In some applications, the Jog Wheel can act as an Assignable Knob. This allows
the Jog Wheel to adjust the values of any control the cursor hovers over (Cubase,
Nuendo), such as faders, pan knobs and plug-in controls. Other applications
require a mouse-click on the control to allow adjustment (Logic Pro).
The Jog Wheel can also be used to adjust control room volume for certain appli-
cations (i.e., Studio Monitor Express, Cubase, and Nuendo).
