[. . . ] ·The current physical fader position matches the recalled position. ·The current physical fader position is higher than the recalled position. 2 Move a physical fader manually to match the recalled (scene memory) position. 3 After adjusting all the fader positions, press the [EXIT/ NO] key. <Note> 4 Press the [ENTER/YES] key while holding down the [RECORD] key. The selected memory is deleted and the scene name changes to "[Un-defined]", showing that no memory is stored. If you recall a scene when "Fader recall setting" of the setup mode is set to "OFF", the current physical fader positions are valid. 5 Press the [EXIT/NO] key. The display returns to the Normal screen. 48 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. 3 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. Assigning scene memories to the mark map In the following description, we assume that the timebase is set to Bar/Beat/Clk. 1 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. Scene number Scene title Mark title 4 After selecting the scene number, press the [ENTER/ YES] key. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to assign scene numbers to other marks. In the example below, several scene numbers are assigned to marks and you are ready for executing the scene sequence function described later. 2 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. 5 Press the [EXIT/NO] key after assigning all desired scenes to marks. 49 Mixer Functions Deleting a mark from the mark map You can delete an unnecessary mark from the mark map. Executing the scene sequence If you start playback while the scene sequence function is active (ON), the scenes will be recalled according to the mark map. <Note> You cannot delete mark 00. <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 sequence. See "Fader recall mode setting" on page 110 for details. 1 While the VF08 is stopped, press the SCENE SEQ/MAP key while holding down the SHIFT key. The screen shows the mark map. 2 Highlight the desired mark using the [JOG] dial. 3 Press the [UNDO/REDO/F3] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key. The message asking for confirmation to delete the mark appears and "Sure?" blinks. To cancel to delete the mark, press the [EXIT/NO] key now. 4 Press the [ENTER/YES] key while holding down the [RECORD] key. The map is deleted and the following marks are renumbered. <Screen appearances during playback> The following show the screen appearances during playback with the mark map in which scene number 02 (with the title "BBBB") is assigned to "Bar 12, Beat 1" and scene number 06 (with the title "CCCC") is assigned to "Bar 20, 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. 1 While the VF08 is stopped, press the [SCENE SEQ] key. The [SCENE SEQ] key lights in green, showing that the scene sequence function is active (ON). When turning on the scene sequence function, "SCENE SQ: ON" appears momentarily on the Normal display and then the scene number is highlighted. When turning off the scene sequence function, "SCENE SQ: OFF" appears momentarily on the Normal display and then the highlighted scene number returns to the Normal screen The unit starts playback from "Bar -2, Beat 1" with the settings stored in scene number 00 (Init Mix). 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. <Hint> The unit continues playback with the settings stored in the scene number recalled last time. Therefore, if you want to recall scene number 00 again after recalling scene number 06 above, . you have to assign scene number 00 to the desired mark.
