P-BUS timeline mode actions
The actions that can be used in P-BUS timeline mode are as follows.
• Store
• Recall
• Trigger
For the action setting (or P-BUS timeline editing), use the Device menu.
You can save the data set in the Device menu in keyframe effect registers.
Recalling the register starts execution of the keyframe effect, and when this
reaches the keyframe point at which actions are set, action commands are
output to external devices through the 9-pin serial port assigned to P-BUS.
