Hello Chi:
The scrubbing moves as fast as the Tranzport wheel is turned. This is much
like disengaging the capstand on an old Teacc reel to reel tape deck and
slowly or quickly spinning the reels to locate a splice point. The heads
remained engaged and it sounded pretty weird, but it was very easy to find a
splice point.
The Tranzport works the same way. as you spin the wheel, the mythical head
is scrubbed across the region slowly or as quickly as you spin , so you
can easily home in on a beat, breath or other very tight splicing point.
While there is a small gap between when you stop spinning and when the scrub
head stops, it's real easy to get use to it and you can be incredibly
accurate. You can go as fast or as slow as you need to. I just wish the
Tranzport worked like this in SoundForge. It would be awesome to do a
master with this scrubbing technology.
If you're interested, there is an excellent demo done by Gordon on the
Dancing Dots list showing off many of the aspects of the Tranzport.

Ah ha, so tranzport also has the delay.
Doesn't it make it really hard to pinpoint the right spot to punch/edit
though?
for example, if you want to find a certain word from a phrase that the
vocalist sang with one breath.

Hello Chi:
IN answer to your questions, The Tranzport knob is de-tented so you can feel
small little bumps as you turn it. Although, to my ear, there are no abrupt
changes in the sound. It is very smooth.
Yes, there is a slight delay from when you stop turning the knob when
scrubbing and when the "Tranzport" stops moving, but it is very easy to get
used to.

I have a couple of questions for tranzport audible scrubbing function.
1. When you use dial to change values or scrub, for every increament, is
there a bump you can feel as you turn the dial, or is it just one fluid
motion? In other words, can you count how much you turned precisely?
2. Is there little bit of delay between the moment when you stop turning the
dial and the moment scrubbing actually finishes? In other words, does the
scrubbing stops immediatly as soon as you stop.
Thanks,
Chi
