Locating an event memory

You can store up to 99 event memory points (00 to 99). These event memory points can be used for locate functions
described below as well as for the "scene event map" function described in "Chapter 3 Mixer functions".

Creating an event memory

<Hint>
Event memory numbers are assigned in ascending order
of ABS time, regardless of order in which event memories
are created.
For example, if you create event memories in order as
shown in the upper diagram below, the event memory
numbers are assigned as shown in the lower diagram.
