Track List

When you select this setting, all clips on attached disk drives are played back sequentially based on the order of their base file name regardless of whether they have been marked in the KEEPER or SCENE MARKING folders. If Track List is selected, all PLAY MODES relate to all clips on the connected disk drives.

When the FS-2/2E PLAY MENU is set to “TRACKLIST” the name of the current folder appears without brackets on the LCD display (for example, 2 SCENE 2).

When the PLAY FROM menu is set to “FOLDERS”, the name of the current folder appears in brackets on the LCD display (for example, 2 <SCENE 2>).

Playlist Menu

The FS-2/2E playlist feature allows you to playback clips in a custom, user-defined order.

Playlists are created using the FS-2/2E front panel. You can mark in and out play points on clips. Multiple playlists can be opened, saved and edited at any time. Use the PLAY FROM menu to select the playlist to playback. Use the PLAYLIST menu selection to modify, open or save playlists.

Playlists can be named with an 8 character/number name (such as 04-05-04 or PROMO2).

A playlist can consist of multiple sequences with whole or portions of recorded clips. Each sequence gets a number in the playlist starting with 001. The corresponding track number of the clip sequence is also displayed (for example, 1-005 is a sequence from track five on volume 1).

The PLAYLIST menu appears as follows:
