Basic Procedure for Path Settings

Selecting the category
From the buttons in the function button area, select the
category for which you want to make the setting.
First row: path settings for the switcher M/E-1 to M/E-5,
and PGM/PST banks
Second and third rows: path settings for User1 to User8
Fourth row: path settings for DME local channel and
global channel 3D transforms and effects
Making switcher path settings
This section describes settings for M/E-1 Key1 as an
example.
The area for the VF buttons shows the names of items.
A B sign by a button indicates that pressing it opens a more
detailed setting menu.
The status area shows the settings for Xpt, Hue, and Curve.
However, depending on the item, these parameters may or
may not be present.
Notes
Whenever you set a path or modify its setting, be sure to
press the [MOD] button in the keyframe control block. The
setting does not become effective unless the [MOD] button
is pressed.
Changing the path type for Curve
1
In the Path menu, press [M/E-1].
The M/E-1 menu appears.
2
Press the Curve path type indication for the Key1 item
that you want to change.
A path selection window appears.
3
Press the indication for the desired path type, to select
it.
OFF: Executing the effect causes no change.
Step: There is no interpolation between
keyframes, so that the effect parameters are
updated each time a keyframe is passed.
Linear: Linear interpolation between
keyframes, resulting in constant speed movement.
S-Curve: The rate of change accelerates and
decelerates before and after a keyframe, so that the
rate of change is maximum midway between two
keyframes.
Spline: The effect follows a smooth curved path
from each keyframe to the next.
The status area reflects the selected path type.
At this point, depending on the setting for Curve, the
effect for Hue and Xpt is also affected as shown in the
following table. In the menu, the Hue and Xpt settings
do not change, but the path type indication is dimmed
out.
