Chapter 7 Snapshots
M/E Snapshot Operations Using the FlexiPad
Overview
You can use the FlexiPad for M/E snapshot operations.
Since each M/E bank is equipped with its own FlexiPad, there is no need to
specify the corresponding sub-register (M/E-1, M/E-2, or M/E-3).
By changing the FlexiPad operating mode, you can carry out operations by a
different procedure from that described below.
For details of changing the operating mode, see the section “Changing
switcher functions (OPERATION MODE menu)” (page 14-66).
Attributes and the FlexiPad
Using the FlexiPad, you can handle all attributes that can be applied to an M/
E snapshot (“EFFECT DISSOLVE”, “AUTO TRANSITION”, “XPT
DISABLE”, and “KEY DISABLE”). However, in contradistinction to the
operations using the numeric keypad section, here the snapshots are divided
into two classes: those which can only be applied when saving, and those
which can only be applied when recalling.
Snapshots which can only be applied when saving:
• “EFFECT DISSOLVE”
• “AUTO TRANSITION”
Snapshots which can only be applied when recalling:
• “KEY DISABLE”
• “XPT DISABLE”
Saving an M/E snapshot
To save an M/E snapshot using the FlexiPad, use the following procedure.
Note
If you specify the number of a register which already holds a snapshot, then
the saving operation overwrites the previous snapshot. Before specifying the
number of the register in which you wish to save the snapshot, check that the
register is empty, or contains a snapshot which is no longer needed.
You can check the contents of registers using the REGISTER menu (see page
9-3).
