Multi Program 2
a) Keys 2 to 8 are common to main and sub.
Notes
• Allow a transition to complete before carrying out main and sub delegation
switching.
• The sub background A bus (utility 2 bus) is shared with wipe edge border fill.
Making a change to one affects the other.
• Even if the wipe border width is set to the same numeric value for main and
sub, the same image is not obtained.
Restrictions on Using Multi Program 2 Mode
• The following functions are not available for sub:
– Data copy and swap
– Default recall (except for parametric recall)
• Re-entry is limited to five levels. Re-entry is not possible for main and sub
of the same M/E.
However, this restriction can be removed. For details, see “Enabling re-
entry between the main and sub sides of the same M/E bank” (page 406).
• In the following cases, a transition using the fader lever may not be
performed correctly:
– When the main and sub bus toggle modes are set differently
– For a pattern mix, preset color mix, and so on
• For an Internal bus link, GPI link, or External bus link, the “Utility 2” bus
cannot be selected.
• Screen aspect, show key, and [MCRO ATTCH ENBL] button settings are
common to main and sub.
• If a snapshot is recalled simultaneously for main and sub, or a keyframe is
executed simultaneously for main and sub, then for the following common
to main and sub the main settings are reflected.
