Independent Key Transitions Overview In addition to common transitions, you can configure independent transitions for each key. When an operation mode that supports configuration of transitions where keys are inserted/removed independently is set, the transition type and transition rate for inserting and removing keys can be set separately. For details about independent key transition operation mode, see "Setting the Independent Key Transition Mode" (page 394). Transition type of independent key transitions You can set an independent key transition to the following transition types. • Mix • Wipe • DME wipe • Cut For details about transition types, see "Transition type" (page 95). Common transitions and independent key transitions Executing an independent key transition in combination with a common transition enables different transition types to be used for the background and keys. You can also set a common transition and an independent key transition for the same key. If an auto transition is executed with both a common transition and independent key transition configured, the following occurs depending on the start timing of the transitions. When the common transition and independent key transition are executed simultaneously If a key is inserted: The key is removed simultaneously in both transition types. When the common transition ends, both transitions are completed even if the independent key transition is in progress. If a key is not inserted: The key is inserted simultaneously in both transition types. The transitions are completed at the point when both the common transition and independent key transition have ended. When the common transition and independent key transition are executed at offset times If a key is inserted: The key is removed in both transition types at offset times. When the common transition ends, both transitions are completed even if the independent key transition is in progress. If a key is not inserted: The key is inserted in the transition of the first executed transition type. Subsequently, the key is then inserted, so that when the transition with the other transition type is executed the key will be removed. The transition is completed at the point when the key is removed. Basic Independent Key Transition Operations The basic independent key transition operation flow is as follows. 1 Select a transition type for the independent key transition. For details about transition types, see "Setting the Independent Key Transition Type" (page 109). 2 Set the transition type. Make the required settings for the selected transition type. • Transition rate settings (see page 111) • Wipe settings (see page 158) • DME wipe settings (see page 170) Using transition preview mode, you can check the status of the transition. For details about transition preview, see "Transition Preview" (page 108). 3 Execute the independent key transition. For details about executing transitions, see "Executing an Independent Key Transition" (page 112). Setting the Independent Key Transition Type You can set the way in which the independent key transition occurs. The independent key transition type is configured using the Flexi Pad control block, key fader control block, or the menu. 109
