Shotboxes 17 Chapter Overview A shotbox is a function that saves one or more combinations of a region with an effect timeline, snapshot, or key snapshot in a register for recall as required. There are 99 shotbox registers on each control panel. For details about effect timelines, see "Chapter 15 Effect Timelines" (page 251). For details about snapshots, see "Chapter 16 Snapshots" (page 278). Auto run When auto run is enabled, an effect timeline can be automatically executed when a shotbox register is recalled. You can set auto run for each shotbox register. Shotbox Operations (Numeric Keypad Control Block) Shotbox operation mode Press the [SHOTBOX] button in the numeric keypad control block, turning the [SHOTBOX] button and [RCALL] button on amber, to switch to shotbox operation mode.

For details about selecting a register, see "Selecting a register" (page 256).

Creating and Editing a Shotbox You can recall an effect timeline or snapshot using the numeric keypad control block, then switch to shotbox operation mode and register it in a shotbox register. To register both an effect timeline and a snapshot in a shotbox register, first register an effect timeline or snapshot and then register the other one by specifying the same shotbox register. 294
