Setting the action for a rewind operation
On the P-Bus timeline, when the [REWIND] button in the
utility/shotbox control block is pressed the action set for
the first keyframe is not executed; when the [RUN] button
is pressed, then the first keyframe action is executed.
To execute an action when the [REWIND] button is
pressed, it is necessary to set this action (Rewind Action).
To set the Rewind Action, press [Rewind Action] in the
Device >P-Bus Timeline >P-Bus Timeline menu (5321) to
open the Rewind Action menu (5321.1). Operate in the
same way as in the P-Bus Timeline menu (5321), and press
[Rewind Action Set] to carry out the setting.
Alternatively, you can make settings in the Setup menu so
that when the [REWIND] button is pressed, this executes
the action set for the first keyframe, and when the [RUN]
button is pressed the first keyframe action is not executed.
In this case, the Rewind Action setting is still valid.
For details, see "Setting the first keyframe when rewind is
executed" (page 427).

P-Bus Trigger

"P-Bus trigger" is a function whereby a button operation in
the numeric keypad control block or utility/shotbox
control block outputs an action command to a P-Bus
device.
Note
To use the P-Bus trigger, the P-Bus control mode must be
set to [Trigger] in the Setup menu (see page 426).
The relation between the operation in each of the control
blocks and the action command output is as follows.
Action command for an operation in the numeric
keypad control block
• RCALL: Recall
• STORE: Store
This recalls the register specified in the numeric keypad
control block, and a Recall or Store is carried out,
according to the setting.
Action command for an operation in the utility/
shotbox control block
• RUN: Trigger 1
• REWIND: Trigger 4
• NEXT KF: Trigger 7
• PREV KF: Trigger 8
