Macro Execution

To execute a macro, recall the register in which the macro
is held. Simultaneous with the register recall, all events
stored in the macro are played back (executed) in sequence
without pause.
Pausing and restarting macro execution
It is also possible to execute a macro in the following ways.
Pause event
To adjust the execution timing of a particular event (to
delay the start of execution of the event by a particular time
interval), you can store a special event which pauses macro
execution. This event is called a "pause event." When you
store a pause event, you can set the interval for which the
macro is paused (the pause length) to any value in the
range 1 to 999 frames. When the set time has elapsed, the
macro is automatically executed.
Pause zero event
By including a pause event with the time set to zero, you
can make macro execution pause at the pause event.
Step execution (requires a Setup menu setting)
By selecting step execution mode in the Setup menu, you
can make macro execution pause every time an event is
executed.
Take operation
When a paused macro is restarted, this is referred to as a
"Take" operation.
To execute a take operation, use the [TAKE] button in the
Flexi Pad control block. "Take" operation functions can be
assigned to the cross-point Flexi Pad buttons of the cross-
Recall register 1.

Macro operation triggered by GPI input
You can execute a macro take operation using a GPI input
on the SIU (DCU function).
For details about GPI inputs, see "Configuring GPI
Inputs" (page 462).
