Digidesign Control 24 Manuale Utente

Scrub/Shuttle Wheel 

The Scrub/Shuttle wheel is used for scrubbing, 
shuttling, defining regions, and other edit oper-
ations. 

The two switches directly above the wheel, la-
beled SCRUB and SHUTTLE, choose the mode of 
operation. The Scrub/Shuttle wheel can also 
control external devices.

Using Scrub Mode

To use Scrub mode:

1  

Press SCRUB while Pro Tools is not playing or 

recording. 

2  

Navigate the scrub point to the start or end of 

a current selection by pressing PREVIOUS (for 
start) or NEXT (for end). 

3  

Rotate the Scrub wheel clockwise to scrub au-

dio forward, or counter-clockwise to scrub back-
ward. 

The scrub start position will be the location of 
the Edit cursor when a waveform selection ex-
ists, or the location of the Playback cursor loca-
tion if there is no current selection. 

The distance the Scrub wheel travels determines 
the length of the audio scrubbed, and wheel 
speed determines Scrub speed. During Scrub 
mode, the REW and FFW LEDs are lit (just like 
the Pro Tools on-screen Transport). 

To scrub starting from the Selection End:

■

While pressing OPT(ALT)/ALL, press SCRUB 

to begin scrubbing from the selection end posi-
tion. 

To scrub with “finer fixed” resolution:

■

Press the 

(CTL) switch while scrubbing to 

engage fine-resolution scrubbing. 

To exit Scrub mode:

■

To exit Scrub completely and return to normal 

operation, press the SCRUB switch or any of the 
Transport switches. 

■

Exit Scrub mode by pressing the Space bar on 

the computer keyboard, typing 

(CTL)+“.” (pe-

riod) on Control|24, or pressing the ESC/CAN-
CEL switch. You can also exit Scrub mode by 
switching to Shuttle mode.
