Nudge time

If you use the Nudge function when the counter display is set to MEASURE, turn- ing the [DATA/JOG] dial will move only in steps of one beat, meaning that you will not be able to set the location precisely. Before using the Nudge function, you should switch the counter display to either the Time display or the Time Code display (Refer to Reference Guide “SONG screen/Setting page”).

Tip!

Normally, turning the Nudge function on will repeatedly play a 100 msec region starting at the current location. However, you can change the play mode of the Nudge function so that the repeated region ends at the current location, or adjust the length (“nudge time”) of the repeated region. For details on play mode and nudge time settings, refer to the section below, “Nudge function settings.”

4.To defeat the Nudge function, press the [JOG ON] key or the [STOP] key of the transport section.
