Waveform Editing
Many industry pros would argue that the waveform- based display has been the most significant new feature introduced over the past decade to improve the profes- sional audio recording and editing process. The SX-1’s designers saw the possibilities for a custom, full color graph- ic interface that would take
advantage of the SX-1’s speed. As such, the SX-1 has a graphic inter- face that is accessible by connecting a VGA monitor to a rear panel jack. The speed of the waveform display is reminiscent of an oscil- loscope’s, with a center-rectified playhead and real-time sample- accurate playback. Standard editing conventions have been used in order to give the SX-1 a familiar look and feel. Cut, Copy, and Paste follow standard DAW commands, while other functions are easily accessible via different combinations of controls – including the PS/2 keyboard, the control surface, and the Jog/Shuttle wheel. If you’ve ever used audio editing software, the SX-1 will feel right at home.
