Transport Control Buttons—The transport buttons are always active.
STOP : The STOP button has a dual function. When playing back a clip
(PLAY, FF, or REV) the first push of STOP ac
ts as a pause mod e: the playback
is paused, the current point of the clip is disp layed , and t he STO P button
flashes. A se cond push of STOP completely stops the playback and directs
Ki Pro Ra
ck's outputs into an E to E mode (the currently selected inputs
bypass to the outputs). To determine at a glance if the STOP button is in a
“pause” mode, note that the sto p button wi ll flash if media playback
is
paused. The STOP button is fully illuminated in “stop” mode.
PLAY : Press PLAY to begin forward playback of the current clip at
normal speed.
RECORD : Press the red button to begin recording. Once in RECORD
mode, all other
transport buttons are locked-out except the STOP button .
FFWD : Press button to begin fast playback of the current clip at 2x
speed. Successive pushes increase the speed to 4x, 8x, and 16x. (Pushing
the button after 16x s peed
is reached has no further effect.) When fast-
forwarding, au dio is muted.
REV: Pressing REV when not lit, begins playback of the current clip in
reverse at 1x speed. Successive pushes increas e the speed to 2x, 4x, 8x, and
16x.
(Pushing the button after 16x spee d is reached has no further effect.)
When playing in reverse, audio is muted for all speeds.
SELECT (up/down): The SELECT up/down buttons operate differently
depending on whether Ki Pro Rack is in
the TRANSPO RT mode or the MENU
mode. In the TRANSPORT mode, the SELECT buttons select clips and
operate like “previous” and “next” keys. When a clip is selected, Ki Pro Rack
“cues” it to the beginning. Note
that ord erin g and playback of clips is
based on timestamp order (creation date), not clip name. However, in a
playlist, ordering and playback is determined by playlist order. In the
MENU mode , the SELECT buttons select parameters for
adjustment.
Holding down either of the SELECT buttons causes them to repeat.
ADJUST (up/down): ): The ADJUST up/down buttons operate differently
depending on whether Ki Pro Rack is in TRANSPORT mode or MENU mod e .
In TRANSPORT mode, and in the “Pause” mode (single pus
h of STOP from
PLAY mode), the ADJUST buttons “single step” the current clip at a rate of
one frame per button push (up=forward, down=reverse). In the MENU
mode, the ADJUST buttons adjust the selected parameter. Holding down
either of t
he ADJUST buttons causes them to repeat.
