48 • • • • Playback
Press the PLAY button to set up Follow-On play. The PLAY button will blink indicating that another
cut is in the queue for immediate Follow-On play.
You may select as many cuts as you wish for automatic Follow-On Play by repeating the steps above. The last
selected cut will be visible in the first line of the command display; the second line of the command display
shows name and time information about the cut that is currently playing. This queue is essentially an unsaved
Playlist, or Quickstack.
While it is not mandatory, it is recommended that only files of the same sample rate be used for follow-on play
operations and Playlists. Keeping the same sample rate in all recordings avoids the possibility of an audible
‘pop’ and slight delay as the sample rate changes from cut to cut during playback of Playlists with multiple
sample rates.
To see the list of queued cuts following the one now playing:
Press the VIEW LIST button.
Use the selection knob to scan the list.
To cancel an automatic Follow-On playlist:
Press the STOP button once. The PLAY button will stop flashing, indicating that DigiCart/E will end
playback at the end of the current cut.
Press the STOP button again to immediately cancel playback of the current cut.
Quickstacks
C REATING A Q UICKSTACK
A Quickstack is a one-time-only playback sequence, created "on the fly". Sometimes it may be desired to
reuse the sequence. This decision must be made before the Quickstack is played. Each drive's Stack
Directory can hold 1000 Playlists, so you might want to establish the practice of saving each new
Quickstack as a Playlist. See more information about Playlists in the next chapter.
While it is not mandatory, it is recommended that only files of the same sample rate be used for Quickstacks.
Keeping the same sample rate in all recordings avoids the possibility of an audible ‘pop’ as the sample rate
changes from cut to cut during playback of Quickstacks with multiple sample rates.
Building a Quickstack
Press the PAUSE [BUILD LIST] button. (It will illuminate when pressed.)
Select a cut or Playlist (an event) to be added to the Quickstack.
Press the PLAY button to add the first event to the Quickstack. The number displayed under the event
ID counts the entries in the Quickstack. The PLAY button will begin to blink, indicating that item has
been entered into the Play queue. The time under the name shows total Quickstack duration.
Repeat the above steps to add as many events the list as are needed.
To check the Quickstack's contents:
Press the VIEW LIST button.
Use the selection knob to scan through the Quickstack.
