Step execution (requires a Setup menu setting)
By selecting step execution mode in the Setup menu, you can make macro 
execution pause every time an event is executed.
Take operation
When a paused macro is restarted, this is referred to as a “Take” operation.
Macro take operation using a GPI input
You can carry out a macro take operation using a GPI input on the control panel 
and DCU.
For GPI input settings, see “Interfacing With External Devices (Device 
Interface Menu” and “GPI Input Setting (GPI Input Assign Menu)” in Chapter 
16 (Volume 2).
Macro Timeline
By recording macro recall and execute action on a timeline, in the same way as 
for key frames in an effect, you can automatically execute them in a sequence. 
This timeline is called a “macro timeline,” and one macro timeline can have up 
to 99 macros being executed simultaneously in parallel. 
There are 99 registers in the Macro region that can be recorded on the macro 
timeline, numbered 1 to 99. These registers are distinct from the registers 
where individual macros are stored.
Note
If you use a macro timeline to superimpose more than one macro, the macros 
may not be executed according to the timing information registered in the 
timeline.
Available key frame functions
The following lists the key frame functions that can be used on the macro 
timeline. 
• RECALL(1 to 99), STORE(1 to 99), RECALL UNDO, STORE UNDO, 
search for empty register, AUTO SAVE, RECALL MODE (RECALL,
