Independent Key
Transitions
Overview
In addition to common transitions, you can configure
independent transitions for each key.
When an operation mode that supports configuration of
transiti
ons where keys are inserted/removed
independently is set, the transition type and transition rate
for inserting and removing keys can be set separately.
For details about independent key transition operation
m
ode, see “Setting the Independent Key Transition
Mode” (page 390).
Transition type of independent key
transitions
You can set an independent key transition to the
following transition types.
•Mix
•Wipe
•DME wipe
•Cut
For details about transition types, see “Transition type”
(page 94).
Common transitions and independent key
transitions
Executing an independent key transition in combination
with a common transition enables different transition
types to be used for the background and keys.
You can also set a common transiti
on and an independent
key transition for the same key.
If an auto transition is executed with both a common
tran
sition and independent key transition configured, the
following occurs depending on the start timing of the
transitions.
When the common transition and independen
t
key transition are executed simultaneously
If a key is inserted:
The key is removed simultaneously in both transition
ty
pes. When the common transition ends, both
transitions are completed even if the independent key
transition is in progress.
If a key is not inserted:
The key is inserted simultane
ously in both transition
types. The transitions are completed at the point when
both the common transition and independent key
transition have ended.
When the common transition and independent
key
transition are executed at offset times
If a key is inserted:
The key is removed in both tr
ansition types at offset
times. When the common transition ends, both
transitions are completed even if the independent key
transition is in progress.
If a key is not inserted:
The key is inserted in the
transition of the first
executed transition type. Subsequently, the key is
then inserted, so that when the transition with the
other transition type is executed the key will be
removed. The transition is completed at the point
when the key is removed.
Basic Independent Key Transition
Operations
The basic independent key transition operation flow is as
follows.
1
Select a transition type for the independent key
transition.
For details about transition types, see “Setting the
Independent Key Transition Type” (page 108).
2
Set the transition type.
Make the required settings for the selected transition
type.
• Transition rate settings (see page 110)
• Wipe settings (see page 158)
• DME wipe settings (see page 171)
Using transition preview mode, you can check the
stat
us of the transition.
For details about transition preview, see “Transition
Preview” (page 107).
3
Execute the independent key transition.
For details about executing transitions, see
“Executing an Independent K
ey Transition”
(page 111).
Setting the Independent Key
Transition Type
You can set the way in which the independent key
transition occurs.
The independent key transition type
is configured using
the Flexi Pad control block, key fader control block, or the
menu.
