macro execution mode set to “Normal”

(see “Setting the Macro Execution

Mode” in Chapter 19 (Volume 3))

, the auto insert mode is automatically on.

When “Step” is selected as the macro execution mode, the auto insert mode is
automatically off.

Creating a new macro

1

Recall an empty register.

For details of the method of operation, see “Recalling a Macro Register
and Executing a Macro” (page 732).

This assigns the numeric keypad control block and keyframe control block
to macro editing, and the [MCRO] button in the numeric keypad control
block and the [EDIT ENBL] button in the keyframe control block light red.
The [STORE] button in the numeric keypad control block flashes red.

2

If required, press the [AUTO INS] button assigned to a utility/shotbox
control block or user preference button, to toggle the auto insert mode on
or off.

3

Create the events (carry out the control panel operations to be registered as
events in the macro).

You can include pause events

(see page 738)

.

For details of events that can be registered, see “Events” (page 724).

• When auto insert mode

(see page 733)

is on, execution of a control panel

operation automatically registers an event in the macro.

• When auto insert mode is off, proceed to step

Notes

• During macro editing, if you press any of the mode selection buttons in

the numeric keypad control block other than the [MCRO] button
([TRANSRATE] button, and so on), the executed operation is also
registered as an event. In this case, the [MCRO] button stays lit red.

• Even during macro editing, you can carry out keyframe operations using

the fader lever in the keyframe control block and the following buttons:

[EFF LOOP], [STOP NEXT KF], [REV], [NORM/REV],
[REWIND], [RUN]

• During macro editing, if you press a button for which a macro

attachment is set, the outcome is as described in the next item.
