Nudge

The NUDGE button enables you to move (nudge) selected Audio or MIDI Regions, or
events.

Marker and Nudge mode are mutually exclusive; activating one deactivates the other.

Small Nudge Mode

Use of the NUDGE button reassigns the behavior of the FAST FWD and REWIND
buttons. They nudge the selected Regions or events by the value defined in Large
Nudge mode (see below).

Pressing the NUDGE button again reverts to the default behavior of the FAST FWD and
REWIND buttons (see

Rewind

” on page 85 and

Fast Fwd

” on page 85).

Small Nudge mode is useful if you want to nudge Regions or events, but still use the V-
Pots for other purposes.

Large Nudge Mode

Pressing the Nudge button while holding down Shift updates the LCD to display eight
options, assigned to the V-Pots and V-Selects. All functions allow you to move the
selected Region or events.

As an indicator, the position of the first selected Region or event is displayed above V-
Pots 3 and 4. If nothing is displayed, either; a window that does not allow selection of
Regions or events is open, or no Regions or events are selected.

The functions are as follows:
Â

V-Pot 1—Nudge—selects the nudge value used by the REWIND and F.FWD buttons.
These buttons move the selected object(s) backwards/forwards by the defined value.

Â

V-Select 2—Pickup—moves to the current SPL location.

Â

V-Pot 3—Bar— moves by one bar.

Â

V-Pot 4—Beat—moves by the current song denominator value (beats).

Â

V-Pot 5—Format—moves by the current song format value (sub-divisions—1/16th
and so on).

Â

V-Pot 6—Ticks—moves by single ticks.

Â

V-Pot 7—Frames—moves by one SMPTE frame.

Â

V-Pot 8—Fram/2—moves by half a SMPTE frame.
