Locating an event memory

You can store up to 99 event memory points (00 to 99). These event memory points can be used for locate functions described below as well as for the “scene event map” function described in “Chapter 3 Mixer functions”.

Creating an event memory

<Hint>

Event memory numbers are assigned in ascending order of ABS time, regardless of order in which event memories are created.

For example, if you create event memories in order as shown in the upper diagram below, the event memory numbers are assigned as shown in the lower diagram.

	2	3	6	7	1	5	4
ABS 0	02M30S	05M00S	07M30S	12M30S	12M30S	15M00S	17M30S
ABS0	EVT 01	EVT 02	EVT 03	EVT 04	EVT 05	EVT 06	EVT 07
	02M30S	05M00S	07M30S	12M30S	12M30S	15M00S	17M30S

1.At the desired position while the VF160EX is stopped or during playback, press the [HOLD/>] key.

The time when pressing the [HOLD/>] key is held on the screen.

2.Use the [JOG] dial to select the desired event number, and press the [LOCATE] key.

The unit locate the selected memory point and stops, while the display returns to the Normal display.

When selecting an event memory, you can know the nearest event memory point to the current point by the flashing event number (in the example below, event number 02 is the nearest).

2.Press the [STORE] key.

The key lights up (in red) and “Hit Any Memory Keys!” appears on the screen.

3.Press the [LOCATE/EVT MEM] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

“Entry EVT**” (where ** shows the number) appears for a short time, while the time held in step 1 is entered in the event memory.

Viewing the event memories

1.Press the [SCENE-STORE/MAP] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

Flashing

Skip locate

With the Skip locate function using the event memo- ries, the unit automatically recognizes the locate point and locate there. When the Skip locate is executed, the locate point is shown on the screen and you will know where the current position goes.

Current position

ABS0	EVT 01		EVT 02	EVT 03	10M00S	EVT 04	EVT 05	EVT 06
	02M30S		05M00S	07M30S		12M30S	15M00S	17M30S
		[SHIFT] key + [REWIND] key				[SHIFT] key + [F FWD] key

The display shows the event number select screen for the scene event map, in which you can view and check the event memories created by the procedure above.

The unit for event memories - ABS, Bar/Beat/Clk or MTC - depends on the time base setting.

2.Rotate the [JOG] dial to scroll through the event memory list.

1.Press the [REWIND/PREV] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key to skip back to the previous event memory point.

2.Press the [F FWD/NEXT] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key to skip advance to the next event memory point.

<Hint>

By sequentially executing the key operation above as many times as required, you can locate the desired event memory. In the above screen, for example, to locate event 01 from the current position, press the [REWIND/PREV] key three times while holding down the [SHIFT] key.
