How does audio scrubbing work?

Audio scrubbing on the TP-7 lets you navigate recordings like tape:

What is scrubbing?

Moving through audio by "scrubbing" the wheel
Like fast-forwarding/rewinding tape
But with direct position control
Hear the audio as you scrub

Using scrub mode: 1. With a recording loaded, touch the wheel 2. Turn the wheel to move through the audio 3. Audio plays at scrub speed 4. Release to stop at current position

Scrub speed:

Slow turn = slow scrub (detailed)
Fast turn = quick navigation
The reel visually matches your movement

Why scrub?

Find specific moments in recordings
Navigate long recordings quickly
Locate edit points
Review content efficiently

Combining with playback: 1. Scrub to find your starting point 2. Press play to listen from there 3. Stop and scrub to new location 4. Repeat

Marker points:

Set markers at important spots
Jump between markers
Markers survive power cycles

Tips:

Scrub before deleting to confirm content
Use scrubbing to find the best take
The physical feel mimics real tape machines
Great for transcription or editing work
