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 or
DME 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.
