direction.
The wipe proceeds in the direction from black

Key status display
For each of the next transition selection buttons, [KEY1]
to [KEY4], the corresponding ON indicator lights when
the key is inserted. It also shows the priority (1 to 4) of
each key.
i
PRIOR (priority) SET button
While this button is held down, you can set the key
priority.
The setting mode when this button is pressed depends on
whether or not the [KEY PRIOR] button is lit, as follows.
•
When the [KEY PRIOR] button is off, the current key
priority is set.
•
When the [KEY PRIOR] button is lit, the key priority
after the next transition is set.
Press the [KEY PRIOR] button as required, to switch
between these two modes.
In either mode, hold down the [PRIOR SET] button, and
press the button ([KEY1] to [KEY8]) corresponding to the
key you want to bring to the front.
Notes
The key priority establishes a separate priority order within
each of the groups of keys 1 to 4 and keys 5 to 8. You can
make any setting within the groups of keys 1 to 4 or keys
5 to 8, but not for combinations of keys from different
groups. For example, it is not possible to set a priority
sequence of keys 1, 5, and 2.
For details, see “Setting the Key Priority in the Transition
Control Block” (page 98).
The following controls are used as the independent key
transition control block.
