File-related functions
You can save and recall a created macro timeline as effect
data, in the File menu.
Timeline operations are carried out on a macro timeline in
the same way as for normal effects.
For details about timeline operations,
When using a macro timeline, note the following.
• To use a macro timeline, the Macro region must be
assigned to a region selection button in the Flexi Pad.
For details about the region assignment,
Regions to Region Selection Buttons in the Flexi Pad”
(p. 220)
• On a macro timeline, only macro recall and execution
actions are stored. The data for a macro to be recalled on
the macro timeline is not held on the timeline. It is
necessary to create the macro data first.
• A macro timeline can be saved and recalled on the
master timeline or a shotbox register, but cannot be
saved as a snapshot.
Creating and Editing a Macro
Timeline
This section describes how to set actions, and add
keyframe points. Note that path settings are not needed on
the macro timeline.
For details about keyframe operations,
.
Registering a keyframe
The register operations use the Macro >Timeline
>Timeline menu (5441) and the [INS] button in the Flexi
Pad.
1
In the Flexi Pad, press the [EFF] button, then press the
[EDIT ENBL] button.
This switches the memory recall section to effect
editing mode.
2
Open the Macro >Timeline >Timeline menu (5441).
3
Select one of the actions (Recall, Take, Take All, No
Action) that appear on the right.
If you selected Recall or Take, select the number of the
macro register.
4
Press the [Set] button.
The selected action appears in the Action column on
the left.
5
Press the [INS] button in the Flexi Pad.
This creates keyframe 1 on the macro timeline.
To set the action for a rewind operation
On the macro timeline, when the [REWIND] button in the
Flexi Pad is pressed, the action set for the first keyframe is
not executed; when the [RUN] button is pressed, then the
first keyframe action is executed.
To execute an action when the [REWIND] button is
pressed, it is necessary to set this action (Rewind Action).
To carry out this setting, press [Rewind Action] in the
Macro >Timeline >Timeline menu (5441) to recall the
Rewind Action menu (5441.1). In this setting screen, use
the same setting method as in the screen for setting an
action on the macro timeline.
Alternatively, you can select the reverse arrangement,
whereby when the [REWIND] button is pressed, this
executes the action set for the first keyframe, and when the
[RUN] button is pressed the first keyframe action is not
executed. In this case, the Rewind Action setting is still
valid.
For details about the setting operation,
First Keyframe When a Rewind is Executed” (p. 236)
