Multi Program 2
Chapter 10 Special Functions
Differences between Multi Program 2 Mode and Standard Mode
The differences from operation in standard mode are as
follows.
a) Keys 2 to 8 are common to main and sub.
• Allow a transition to complete before carrying out main
and sub delegation switching.
• The sub background A bus (utility 2 bus) is shared with
wipe edge border fill. Making a change to one affects the
other.
• Even if the wipe border width is set to the same numeric
value for main and sub, the same image is not obtained.
Restrictions on Using Multi Program
2 Mode
• The following functions are not available for sub:
- Data copy and swap
- Default recall (except for parametric recall)
• Re-entry is limited to five levels. Re-entry is not possible
for main and sub of the same M/E.
However, this restriction can be removed.
For details, see “Enabling re-entry between the main
and sub sides of the same M/E bank” (page 209).
• In the following cases, a transition using the fader lever
may not be performed correctly:
- When the main and sub bus toggle modes are set
differently
- For a pattern mix, preset color mix, and so on
• For an Internal bus link, GPI link, or External bus link,
the “Utility 2” bus cannot be selected.
• Screen aspect, show key, and [MCRO ATTCH ENBL]
button settings are common to main and sub.
• If a snapshot is recalled simultaneously for main and
sub, or a keyframe is executed simultaneously for main
