Finding a desired location (Scrub/Preview function)

Finding a desired location (Scrub/Preview function)

The MRS-1044 provides a "Scrub" function that lets you search for a desired location while repeatedly playing a short region before or after the current location. This is convenient when you want to accurately find the point at which a specific sound starts or stops. When the Scrub function is on, you can use the "Preview function" that plays 0.7 seconds of the preceding or following sound when you press the REW [T] or FF [Y] key. By using the Scrub and Preview functions together, you can find the desired location quickly and accurately.

NOTE

When the Scrub/Preview functions are being used, only one of the tracks 1 – 10 can be played back.

Using the Scrub/Preview functions1.In the main screen, hold down the STOP [P] key and press the PLAY [R] key.

This turns on the Scrub function, and a short region (40 milliseconds by default) following the current location will play back repeatedly.

For the stereo tracks (7/8, 9/10), the selection will alternate between odd-numbered and even-numbered tracks each time you press the status key.

time display, or "TICK" for measure display) blink.4.Turn the dial to the left or right to find the desired location.

While scrub playback continues, the current location will move forward or backward in 10 millisecond steps (for time display) or one-tick steps (for measure display).

5.If you want to use the Preview function to hear the region before the current location, press the REW [T] key. To hear the region after the current location, press the FF [Y] key.

If you press the REW [T] key, a region of 0.7 seconds prior to the current location will play (ending at the current location). If you press the FF [Y] key, a region of 0.7 seconds following the current location will play (beginning at the current location). This is called "preview playback." When preview playback ends, scrub playback will resume.
