Utility/Shotbox
Utility Execution
The utility function refers to a function whereby you can
assign an arbitrary action or a shortcut for frequently used
menu to a particular button, then instantly recall the action
or menu by pressing the button.
The functions you can assign include menu shortcuts,
enabling/disabling functions (recalling utility commands),
and recalling (shotbox registers or macro registers).
You can execute the utility functions from the cross-point
control block.
Executing a Utility with Cross-Point
Buttons in the 2nd Row
You can use the bank 2nd row for utility/shotbox
operations.
To use this function, you must first assign the utility/
shotbox function switch button [UTIL/SBOX] to the 1st
row.
For details about the assignment,
Function to 1st Row Buttons” (p. 235)
You can assign any action to the cross-point buttons.
For details about the assignment,
Function to 2nd Row Cross-Point Buttons” (p. 229)
.
To execute the assigned action
When the action is executing a shotbox register, follow the
procedure in
“Executing a Shotbox Function with Cross-
Point Buttons in the 2nd Row” (
1
Press the [UTIL/SBOX] assigned to the 1st row,
turning it on.
2
Press the cross-point button to which the desired
action is assigned.
Shotbox
The term “shotbox” refers to a function whereby for each
specified region any snapshot or keyframe effect can be
recalled simultaneously.
The simultaneous recall setting data such as region names,
snapshot numbers and keyframe effect numbers are stored
in “registers.” There are 99 registers for each control panel.
The previous figure shows schematically the settings in the
99 shotbox registers.
Each register may contain any combination of the regions
to which the register applies, with the snapshots or effects
to be recalled.
The Auto Run function is an attribute which can be set for
each register. When this is set to On, an effect recalled by
a shotbox operation is automatically run.
• When register 1 is executed, this recalls M/E-1 snapshot
1 and User2 effect 5. For register 1, auto run is On, and
therefore the User2 effect is run as soon as it has been
recalled.
• When register 3 is executed, M/E-1 effect 1, P/P effect
90, and User1 effect 1 are recalled. For register 3, auto
run is OFF, and therefore to run the recalled effects,
press the [RUN] button in the Flexi Pad.
