Sequence
Keys

|
Sequence keys, similar to "macro keys", allow you to add a very powerful, and personal, tailored dimension to ION applications. The features available are so exhaustive that Sequence keys, in essence, are a very intuitive form of an application programming language. They give individual facilities, and users, the tools needed to independently customize ION applications to their unique requirements. In their simplest form, they allow multiple keystroke routines to be performed with one keystroke, or automatically by the computer.

Sequence
keys are created in real time, with the computer
memorizing keystrokes as you perform the routine
manually |
| » |
Graphical
editing allows you to view the keystrokes recorded in
the form of Soundmaster keyboard legends, as well as
their ASCII equivalents, and insert new, or delete
existing, commands |

Multiple
Sequence files can be stored to disk, enabling
individual operators to utilize their own preferred
setups, and quickly switch between them for various
studio applications. Files can be merged to create new
composites |

Virtually
any number of Sequence keys can be created, of any
length, and "nested" up to 25 levels deep.
Sequence key nesting can be applied in a manner
similar to computer subroutines |

Intelligent
Sequence features include a "Pause" time, a
"Wait" for specific keyboard entry and even
a logic function that allows a Sequence key to
determine which of three separate branches to follow
when encountering a user defined numeric value.
Variables such as "Master", "Record",
"Source" allow Sequence keys to be
non-machine specific |

Special
Sequence keys are assigned to automatically respond
with the user's commands when certain actions occur
within the system. These include transitions involving
individual device's "record" and "time
code" status and the "All locked" tally.
Other keys can even "read" values from the
system's calculator and translate them into equivalent
numeric keystrokes! |

Although
the standard keyboard layout is crafted to maximize
operational efficiency, every key is also programmable
as a Sequence Key, as well as 52 separate functions on
the optional SHUTL control unit |
