Jog wheel, or Fast Forward, and Rewind

[Raynaldo Martine]

PLEASE add either jog wheel support, or FF, and RW buttons that are assignable to hot keys. Love this product! Love this product! Love this Product! But, this is one Huge omission for fast workflow. Are there any plans yet? Please respond to this Mr. Forum Facilitator.

What is it that you want to accomplish? To be able to jump the playhead backwards or forward like a bar at a time? Or to get the playhead to directly jump to a determined position?

We need to know this to be able to make the correct design decisions 🙂 Thanks for the input!

Yes! jumping one bar at a time would be really helpful. Here’s the issue from my perspective; working in any DAW, we all FF, and REW as part of our normal workflow, and we do this with assigned key, or with our jog wheel (my preference), but as we begin to work in EZ Bass, Key, or SD3, the typical DAW workflow is disrupted for reviewing changes, or “hunting for a trouble spot”, or any normal reason for FF/REW, by having to click in “not very wide” lane in the song track. It may not sound like too big of a deal, but I have a “working studio”, and I am in here most of the day, and at night I’m on my laptop in bed doing edits, and that little bit of difference in flow really adds up. Another example is in EZKeys. In a DAW, if you want to delete something, it’s DEL, or another simple key, but with EZKeys, to delete a section, it’s a right click, and scroll to “remove” and click again. It may not seem like much, but it adds up throughout the day, and especially when having to keep “mentally changing gears” going back and forth from the DAW to EZkeys. Anything that keeps the flows similar to on another is REALLY helpful, and you guys are really great about it, with the exception of the transport familiarity of FF/REW. Again, I use this stuff daily, and about 1/3 of my client base is now using EZKeys for their songwriting after seeing it in action. Your whole line is a Godsend for so many of us, Thank you again,

Does the jog wheel send CC data?

No, it’s the Euphonix MC Transport. I plugged it into Cubase and opened the “List Editor” to see all incoming midi information, and it didn’t trigger anything. I also have a Presonus Faderport 2, and it was the same, no CC information.
