Transport/Locate command set
The US-224 contains a set of standard transport switches: REW, FFWD, STOP, PLAY, and REC.
In addition, dedicated status LED's are used to communicate the current transport state to the
user. The LED's indicate REW, FFWD, PLAY, and REC. (Note that there is no LED to indicate
STOP.) Additionally, there are three locate switches, which can be used to set and locate to
markers established on the host application's timeline. SET is intended to be used as a SHIFT
key, along with either the < or > button to drop a marker at the application's current time.
