Finding a location while you listen to the

sound (the Nudge function)

“Nudge” is a function that repeatedly plays a short region
before or after the current location. By using the Nudge
function, you can find a precise location while listening
to the playback. This is useful when you need to specify a
location precisely, such as when specifying the auto
punch-in/out points, or when editing the contents of a
track.
1Locate to the vicinity of the point you want
to find.
2With the transport stopped, press the [JOG
ON] key.
The [JOG ON] key will light, and the Nudge func-
tion will be turned on. A fixed region (referred to as
the “nudge time”) starting at the current location
will play repeatedly.
3To move the current location forward, turn
the [DATA/JOG] dial toward the right. To
move the current location backward, turn
the [DATA/JOG] dial toward the left.
If time display is selected as the counter display for-
mat, you can move the current location forward or
backward in millisecond units. If time code display
is selected, you can move in sub-frame units.
