Mixer Functions

Scene sequence

Using the scene sequence function, you can recall desired scene memories at the desired mark positions during playback. For example, you can recall scene memory 02 at "Bar 17/Beat 1" and scene memory 04 at "Bar 25/Beat 1", etc. To execute the scene sequence function, you must first assign scene (or temporary) memories to marks in the mark map. If you set the timebase to Bar/Beat/Clk, you can assign scene memories to be recalled to the musical positions (Bar/Beat/Clk numbers). Of course, you may set the timebase to ABS.

<Note>

You must store data to scene memories before assigning to the mark map.

Assigning scene memories to the mark map

In the following description, we assume that the timebase is set to Bar/Beat/Clk.

Highlight "Non" using the [CURSOR / ] keys, and then select the desired scene number to be assigned to the mark using the [JOG] dial.

When selecting a scene number which holds data, its scene title is also shown below the scene number.

While the recorder is stopped, press the [SCENE SEQ/ MAP] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

The screen shows the mark map, in which the current marks are listed.

In the mark map example below, only scene memory 00 is assigned to mark 00. ("Non" means that no memory is assigned to the corresponding mark.)

<Hint>

You can view mark titles instead of mark positions (in bar/beat/clock base or ABS time base) in the mark map. Pressing the [TIME BASE SEL] key while the mark map screen is shown switches mark positions and mark titles.

Select the desired mark using the [JOG] dial, and then press the [TIME BASE SEL/F2] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

The display shows the screen for editing the selected mark.
