Fostex FD-4 owner manual Trim the position at the selected unit digit, Time Base, Clk Bar

Preview Function

The FD-4 repeats playback of the “fall sound” at the locate point (edit point). As shown in the diagram, one-second of data prior to the locate point is played back, then muted (fade out) at the locate point. The muted playback continues for one second. The FD-4 will repeat this operation until you quit the Preview function.

Quitting the Preview function

2. Press the STOP button or the EXIT/NO key.

Trimming the sound while previewing

You can trim the position of the locate point (edit point) using the JOG dial while you preview the sound.

At this time, you can also adjust the size of the trimming steps (the amount of offset controlled by the JOG dial). Trimming allows you to fine-tune the position of the locate point stored in the memory keys while previewing the sound. Use this function to change the Auto Punch In/Out points, the start point of Copy & Paste and Move & Paste, and the start and end points of the Erase function.

<Notes>

•You can audition the result of trimming during the next preview. That is, if you trim the position while previewing the sound for the first time, you can check the result when you preview the sound next time.

•If the locate point is shifted outside the range of the preview playback as a result of trimming, [Void Data!] and the locate point indication appear alternately. In this case, you cannot use the Preview function. Trim the position again so that it will be within the playback range.

•When Auto Punch mode is turned on and you trim the Auto Punch In or Auto Punch Out point while previewing the sound with [Void Data!] indicated on the display, Auto Punch mode will be cancelled.

When previewing starts, the unit of JOG trimming flashes on the screen. For example, SF (sub-frame) flashes if ABS Time Base or MTC Time Base is selected. CLK (clock) flashes if BAR/BEAT/CLK is selected.

The flashing value also indicates the position you can trim.
