Recorder Functions (VF80EX)

Digital scrubbing

Digital scrubbing can be done between 0x and 1x speed without changing the pitch while the VF80EX is stopped.

You can scrub audio track by track. The level enve- lope of the scrub track is shown on the screen, allow- ing you to locate the beginning of a song or interval of songs easily.

Furthermore, you can use the position located by digital scrubbing as an edit point for the track editing or auto-punch in/out.

Storing the digital scrub point

You can store the scrub point to the Start, End or To point for track editing functions (such as Copy, Move, Paste and Erase), or the auto-punch in point.

•To store the scrub point to the Start point:

Press the [SETUP/F1] key while holding down the [SHIFT]

key.

"Edit Start Point Stored!" is shown briefly and then the scrub point is stored to the Start point for track editing.
