Setting the action for a rewind operation
On the GPI 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
Device >GPI Timeline >GPI Timeline menu (5311) to
recall the Rewind Action menu (5311.1). In this setting
screen, use the same setting method as in the screen for
setting an action on the GPI 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,
