Transitions 3 Chapter

Setting the Independent Key Transition Rate

There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the Flexi Pad control block or numeric keypad control block to enter a numeric value, or using the Key menu to access the Transition menu for the M/E or PGM/PST bank.

You can also display the transition rate, independent key transition rate, and fade-to-black transition rate for each of the M/E and PGM/PST banks, and change the settings. (See “Displaying a List of Transition Rates and Changing the Settings” (page 553).)

When the setup selection is for separate transition rates for inserting or deleting a key, you can set both rates independently. For example, with the system in the state with the key not inserted, the transition rate setting applies to key insertion.

Setting the independent key transition rate in the Flexi Pad control block

Note

In the PGM/PST bank or when using a simple-type transition control block, you cannot use the Flexi Pad control block to set the transition rate.

1 In the Flexi Pad control block of the M/E bank, hold down the [TRANS RATE] button, and in the independent key transition control block, press the delegation button [KEY1] to [KEY4] for the key for which you want to set the transition rate.

The memory recall section display is now ready to accept the entered independent key transition rate.

2 Enter the desired transition rate with the numeric keypad.

•Enter a value of up to three digits.

•To cancel the entry, press any of the six buttons in the leftmost column ([WIPE], [DME], ...) or the [TRANS RATE] button.

For details of frame input mode and timecode input mode, see page 352.

3 Press the [ENTR] button.
