Macro Timeline

By recording macro recall and execute action on a
timeline, in the same way as for key frames in an effect,
you can automatically execute them in a sequence. This
timeline is called a "macro timeline," and one macro
timeline can have up to 99 macros being executed
simultaneously in parallel.
There are 99 registers in the Macro region that can be
recorded on the macro timeline, numbered 1 to 99. These

registers are distinct from the registers where individual
macros are stored.
Notes
If you use a macro timeline to superimpose more than one
macro, the macros may not be executed according to the
timing information registered in the timeline.

be saved in a register as key frame data. You can
manipulate this data by recalling the register in which it is
saved and using the Flexi Pad.
Notes
Actions set in a keyframe are executed only when the
keyframe effect is executed in the normal direction. Take
care when executing simultaneously with a switcher
keyframe effect, since the actions are not executed in the
reverse direction.
Forcibly ending a macro timeline
• If the timeline has completed but a macro is still
executing, press the [REWIND] or [RUN] button in the
Flexi Pad to forcibly end the macro timeline.
• In a macro timeline, since a take operation is not
possible, if a macro included in the timeline has a pause
event with a pause time of zero, the remainder of the
timeline after the pause is ignored, and the macro
timeline ends at that point.
