FROM 2 TO "FROM" indicates the start point of the loop range, while "TO" indicates the end point. 4 With the numeric keypad buttons of the numeric keypad control block, enter the number of the last keyframe in the loop range (end point). Here, by way of example, keyframe 5 is the end point. FROM 2 TO 5 5 Press the [ENTER] button to confirm the entry. The display changes, prompting you to enter the loop count. COUNT 6 Enter the loop count. To specify a loop count, enter a number in the range 1 to 99. To specify an endless loop, enter "0" (zero). Here, by way of example, "15" is entered. COUNT 15 7 Press the [ENTER] button to confirm the entry. The start point, end point, and loop count that you have set are reflected in the Timeline menu. If you enter the loop count as "0" (endless loop), the count is shown as "inf" (infinity). Modifying the keyframe loop settings You can modify the loop range or count for the currently recalled effect. 1 Press the [KF MCRO EDIT] button, then press the [EDIT ENBL] button, turning it on orange. 2 Press the [KF LOOP] button, turning it on blue. The numeric keypad control block display shows the current loop range. 3 To modify the loop range, press the [CLR] button in the numeric keypad control block. To modify only the loop count, press the [ENTER] button and skip to step 6. 4 Enter the keyframe number for the new start point, and press the [ENTER] button. 5 Enter the keyframe number for the new end point, and press the [ENTER] button. The display shows the currently set loop count. 6 To modify the loop count, press [CLR] and enter the new loop count. 7 Press the [ENTER] button. Executing a keyframe loop Press the [RUN] button. The set loop range is executed repeatedly for the set loop count number of times. The total loop count and the number of loops remaining are displayed in the timeline menu. If the loop count is infinite (inf), the remaining number is not shown. If the [REV] button is lit, the loop is played in the reverse order. Canceling keyframe loop execution Press the [REWIND] button. Changes to the loop range caused by keyframe insertion/deletion When a keyframe is inserted or deleted within the loop range, the loop range also changes. The following are examples. Example 1: If keyframe 3 is deleted, the loop end point moves forward as follows. Before deletion After deletion Deletion : Loop range Example 2: If keyframe 3 is added, the end point keyframe number moves back. Before addition After addition Addition : Loop range Example 3: If the keyframe at the end of the loop range (the end point) is deleted, the keyframe loop settings are all cleared, as follows, and the [KF LOOP] button goes off. The same occurs if the first keyframe in the loop range (the start point) is deleted. 312
