“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.

to find.

With the transport stopped, press the [JOG
ON] key.
The [JOG ON] key will light, and the Nudge function
will be turned on. A fixed region (referred to as the
“nudge time”) starting at the current location will play
repeatedly.

To 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.

[JOG ON] key or the transport section

starting at the current location (default).

ending at the current location.
