Each bank’s
PVW
(Preview) output serves as a versatile “lookahead” output. These
outputs work in conjunction with the buttons in each bank’s
Next Transition Group
to
show you exactly how the bank’s layers will appear — after the next
CUT
,
MIX
,
KEY
,
WIPE
,
or
AUTO TRAN
is performed.
The figure below illustrates the
Next Transition Group
on the M/E and PGM banks:
Figure 7-4.
Next Transition Groups
In each
Next Transition Group
, the buttons that you enable determine the combination of
layers that are “armed” for the next transition, and also determine what you “see” on each
bank’s
PVW
monitor. If a layer is armed, it will appear on
PVW
.
To use the
Next Transition Group
, simultaneously press the combination of buttons that
you wish to enable. Any combination of buttons can be pressed. Whichever combination
you enable automatically disables those buttons that were not pressed.
