Independent Key Transitions
Independent Key Transitions
What is an independent key transition?
In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry out independent 
transitions on the keyers of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank. These are 
called “independent key transitions.”
By carrying out an independent key transition in combination with a common 
transition, different transition types can be used for the background and keys. 
It is also possible to use different transition types for key insertion and key 
deletion by means of a Setup menu setting.
For details of this operation, see “Basic Independent Key Transition 
Operations” (page 191).
Combining other transitions with independent key transitions
When you set a common transition and a key independent transition for the 
same key, you can apply two different effects such as a wipe and mix (dissolve) 
(see page 156) to the key simultaneously.
When carrying out such a combination of transitions simultaneously on a key 
as auto transitions (see page 181), the result depends on the timing of pressing 
the respective [AUTO TRANS] buttons.
Simultaneous execution
If the [AUTO TRANS] buttons for the two transitions are pressed 
simultaneously, the following is the result.
Note that in both cases the common transition is a wipe and the independent 
key transition is a mix (dissolve).
Deleting a key with simultaneous transitions: With the key inserted, it is 
deleted simultaneously with the two transitions.
When the common transition completes, even if the independent key 
transition is still not completed, the two end simultaneously.
