For details of the buttons assigned to each action, see Chapter 12, “External

P-Bus timeline
At a keyframe point on the P-Bus timeline, you can set an action (setting what 
action command is output to which device). At any single keyframe point you 
can set actions for a maximum of 24 devices.

• 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.
For details, see Chapter 12 “External Devices” (Volume 2).
