Finding a desired location (Scrub/Preview function)

The MRS-1266 provides a "Scrub" function that lets you search for a desired location while repeatedly playing a short region before or after the current point. 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 before and after the current point. By using the scrub and preview functions together, you can find the desired location quickly and accurately.

Using the scrub/preview functions1. From 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.

Up to 4 tracks can be selected simultaneously.

3. Use the cursor left/right keys to cause the unit indication on the counter ("MS" for time display, or "TICK" for measure display) to flash.

4. Turn the dial to the left or right to find the desired location.

During scrub playback, the current location can be moved

forward or backward in milliseconds or ticks.

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.
