MIDI
A MIDI REC MODE

This section accesses the

SX-1's Step mode and MIDI Merge function. Just
beneath the

MIDI REC MODE

section is a

PANIC

but-

ton for resetting stuck MIDI devices. See the
Owner's Manual for more information about MIDI
Recording.

NOTE

The

PANIC

key is a latching-type key. Press once to

enable panic mode (the indicator pulses) and again to
disable panic mode.

Editing
B EDITING

For all your audio waveform and

MIDI note editing needs, there is the

EDITING

sec-

tion. Here you will find basic cut, copy, and paste
commands, as well as many other advanced editing

commands (such as, ripple, crop, and split). To learn
more about the SX-1's extensive audio waveform and
MIDI editing capabilities, see the Owner's Manual.

Transport and Data Entry
C TRANSPORT

Though this area is not actually

labeled

Transport

on the SX-1, that title best

describes this section of the SX-1's face. Here you
will find a set of standard transport keys (play, stop,
record, fast forward, rewind, end jump, and begin-
ning jump). Just above the transport keys are controls
for capturing and recalling locate points.
The SX-1 has many advanced transport functions
(including looping, user definable post/pre roll times,
and auto punch). As well, the Jog/Shuttle wheel is
handy for jogging, scrubbing, and shuttling. To learn

more about these advanced features, see the Owner's
Manual
.

D DATA ENTRY

The numeric keypad is labeled

DATA ENTRY

. Keys on the numeric keypad are used

for entering numbers (and letters) directly into
onscreen fields, enabling shifted functions and spe-
cial key commands (see “Multi-Function Keys” on
page 9), up/down and left/right cursor navigation,
and entering MIDI step record note values (see the
Owner's Manual for more on the

DATA ENTRY

section).
