DescriptionCommand
Quickly put a pause event in a custom
control. The custom control will stop where
the pause is placed in the custom control
and wait for a length of time before
proceeding. The length of time that the
custom control is paused is set when the
pause event is inserted into the custom
control.
Pause CC
Run a custom control from a custom
control. Use the Bank and Button knobs
to select the CC you want to play. Note:
The Play CC command applies to a target
custom control button only. If you move
the contents of the custom control from
the button selected in the Play CC to
another button, the Play CC command will
not follow and will continue to play the
custom control assigned to the original
button.
Play CC
Resume all of the custom controls that are
at hold from a Hold or Hold For Run event.
Custom controls that are at hold from a
Hold For Group event are unaffected.
Run Held
Resume all of the custom controls that are
at hold from the Hold For Group event for
the same group. Only the custom controls
that used the Hold For Group event, and
are of the same group, resume. For
example, if you insert the Hold For Group
A command into two custom controls and
Hold For Group B into another two custom
controls, the Run Held Group A event will
only resume the first two (group A) custom
control. The remaining two (group B)
custom controls will remain holding until
the Run Held Group B event is triggered.
Run Held Group
Stop all of the custom controls that are at
hold from the Hold For Group event for
the same group. Only the custom controls
that used the Hold For Group event, and
are of the same group, stop. For example,
if you insert the Hold For Group A
command into two custom controls and
Hold For Group B into another two custom
controls, the Stop Held Group A event will
only stop the first two (group A) custom
control. The remaining two (group B)
custom controls will remain holding until
the Run or Stop Held Group B event is
triggered.
Stop Held Group
Place an event in a custom control that
will stop all other running custom controls,
except the one the event is in. This can
be used to stop other looping custom
controls at a specific point.
Stop All Other CC
Place an event in a custom control that
will stop a specific custom control. Use
the Bank and Macro knobs to select
specific custom control you want to stop.
Stop Specific CC
DescriptionCommand
Like a Pause CC, except the length of
time that the custom control is paused is
set as the result of the Pause Equation.
Refer to Variable Pause on page 101 for
more information.

You must insert a pause between execute
macro events in a custom control to
ensure that there is enough time for each
event to be processed properly.
