Undoing an editing operation
You can undo the last event insertion, modification,
deletion, or paste operation.
Macro merging
During macro editing, you can recall and copy another
register to merge it with the macro being edited.
For example, while editing macro register 2 you can recall
and copy register 1 to merge it as shown in the following
figure.
Macro Execution
To execute a macro, recall the register in which the macro
is held. Simultaneous with the register recall, all events
stored in the macro are played back (executed) in sequence
without pause.
Pausing and restarting macro execution
It is also possible to execute a macro in the following ways.
Pause event
To adjust the execution timing of a particular event (to
delay the start of execution of the event by a particular time
interval), you can store a special event which pauses macro
execution. This event is called a “pause event.” When you
store a pause event, you can set the interval for which the
macro is paused (the pause length) to any value in the
range 1 to 999 frames. When the set time has elapsed, the
macro is automatically executed.
Pause zero event
By including a pause event with the time set to zero, you
can make macro execution pause at the pause event.
Step execution (requires a Setup menu setting)
By selecting step execution mode in the Setup menu, you
can make macro execution pause every time an event is
executed.
Take operation
When a paused macro is restarted, this is referred to as a
“Take” operation.
Macro take operation using a GPI input
You can carry out a macro take operation using a GPI input
on the control panel and DCU.
For GPI input settings, see “Making Control Panel GPI
Input Settings” (page 513) and “Making DCU GPI Input
Settings” (page 555).
Recall macro register 2, and
move to another event.
Macro being edited
(register 2)
Newly recalled macro
(register 1)
Copy contents of register 1 and add after current event
(register 2).
Contents of register 1
remain unchanged.
