Executing the scene sequence

If you start playback while the scene sequence func- tion is active (ON), the scenes will be recalled accord- ing to the mark map.

<Note>

When executing the scene sequence, the fader positions may be recalled or not according to the fader recall mode setting in the setup mode (the default is "OFF").

For example, if you set the fader recall mode to "ON", both the track and master faders are automatically recalled every time the current scene changes.

On the contrary, if you set the fader recall mode to "OFF" (the default mode), fader positions are not recalled so you can manually control fader positions as you like.

We suggest you to make sure to set the fader recall mode suitably for your work before executing the scene se- quence. See "Fader recall mode setting" on page 133 for de- tails.

Press the [ENTER/YES] key while holding down the [RECORD] key.

The map is deleted and the following marks are renum- bered.

Beat 4."

Scene sequence on/off selection

You can turn on or off the scene sequence function for selecting whether or not performing the scene sequence function using the mark map.

The unit starts playback from "Bar -2, Beat 1" with the settings stored in scene number 00 (Init Mix).

	key.

The [SCENE SEQ] key lights in green, showing that the scene sequence function is active (ON).

Each time you press the [SCENE SEQ] key, ON and OFF alternates.

When turning on the scene sequence function, "SCENE SQ: ON" appears momentarily on the Normal screen and then the scene number is highlighted.

When turning off the scene sequence function, "SCENE SQ: OFF" appears momentarily on the Normal screen and then the highlighted scene number returns to the Normal screen.

Highlighted

The unit recalls scene number 02 (BBBB) at "Bar 12, Beat 1" and continues playback.

The unit recalls scene number 06 (CCCC) at "Bar 20, Beat 4" and continues playback.

<Note>

The effect preset may not be changed while the scene sequence function is active!

Effect presets of the internal effect processor are clas- sified into three types; ambience/delay type (No. 1 through 28), modulation/pitch type (No. 29 through 36), pitch type (No. 37 and 38) and distortion/simu- lation type (No. 39 through 44).

Note that the scene sequence function does not re- call an effect preset whose type is different from the current one. This is to avoid momentary audio mut- ing, and is not a malfunction. The other mix param- eters of the scene can be recalled even if it includes an effect preset whose type is different from the cur- rent one.
