Number Of Steps - Videonics MX-1 Instruction Manual

Number of Steps

The learned sequence can contain up to 50 "steps." Each transition effect
number counts as one step and each press of the PLAY button counts as one
more. If your learn sequence consists entirely of effect numbers followed by
PLAY, then 25 transitions can be stored.
Other buttons count as one more step including, SPEED, FREEZE, SETUP,
INPUT F/X, arrow keys, CURRENT and NEXT source buttons, etc. For
instance, if you set B as the NEXT source, press SPEED three times, enter 5 as
your effect, and press PLAY, you will use 6 steps.
Selecting an effect using the number keys takes just one step, no matter
how many number buttons are used (for instance, 125 takes three buttons but
occupies only one step). Selecting an effect using the arrow keys will con-
sume one step for each arrow pressed. If you are trying to fit as many
transitions as possible into the sequence, use the number keys to choose the
effect.
Each complete transition occupies a minimum of two steps — one for the
effect number and one for PLAY. If you press PLAY without entering a new
transition effect number (to repeat the last transition), two steps are still used.
A CUT also occupies two steps.
