Yamaha AW2400 owner manual Using the locator

Move To a Specified Location • Using the locator

●Use the [LOCATE] keys

The locate point can also be numerically entered directly using the [LOCATE] keys 1–9. Move the cur- sor to the measure or beat field and use the [LOCATE] 1–9 keys to enter the locate point numerically.

The “.” key can be used to quickly move the cursor between the beat and measure fields.

3 When the locate point has been specified press the [ENTER] key.

As long as the cursor is not on the CANCEL button pressing the [ENTER] will execute the move to the specified location. If you move the cursor to the CAN- CEL button and press the [ENTER] key no change in location will occur and the popup window will close.

Using the locator

“Locate points” can be specified within a song in order to execute functions such as auto punch- in/out and A-B repeat. You can use this function to “locate” (move the current location of the song) to one of these points just by pressing a single key. On the AW2400, you can use the fol- lowing locate points.

Transport/Locate Operation

●In/Out points

These locate points are used to specify the region for auto punch-in/out (→ p. 70). Normally, the beginning and end of the recording you last performed will be automatically set as the In point and Out point. However, you may change these points as desired.

●A/B points

These locate points are used to specify the region for the A-B Repeat function (→ p. 93). The A point and B point can be set to any point in a song, either via the panel keys or on-screen editing.

●Quick Locator points

Locate/Number section [LOCATE] keys 1–9 can be assigned to specific locations within a song, and then you can move directly to the assigned locations simply by pressing the corresponding [LOCATE] keys.

●Start/end points

These locate points normally correspond to the beginning and end of the song. When you create a new song, the Start point will initially be set to absolute time 00:00:00.000. When you record, the end of the song will automatically be set as the End point. If you record past the previously-set End point, the End point will automati- cally be adjusted to the new song end point.

If you select SECOND or TIME CODE as the counter dis- play format, the Start point will be the origin (“zero point”) of the time and time code that are displayed. This means that if you change the Start point, the display will change accordingly, depending on the counter display for- mat.

Start point = 00:00:00:00.00

•When you create an audio CD, the Start and End points can be used to specify the region of the stereo track that will be written to the audio CD (→ p. 214).

•When the AW2400 transmits MTC to an external device, the Start point will be the origin (“zero point”) of the time code that is gener- ated. The Start point will also serve as the origin (measure 1 beat 1) for the measures displayed in the counter.

●Relative zero point

This locate point stores the relative zero position. You will move to this location when you press the RTZ [ ] key in the transport section. Initially the relative zero point will be the same as absolute time 00:00:00.000, but you can change this if desired via the panel controls or on- screen editing.

If you select RELATIVE as the counter display format, the current location will be displayed with the Relative Zero point as 0.
