Banks and Registers
The Zodiak E-MEM and Master E-MEM control panels are optimized for
rapid recall of effects during live production. The Zodiak system’s 100
effect registers can be thought of as being organized into banks (numbered
0 to 9), with each bank containing ten registers (also numbered 0 to 9). For
example, register 46 means bank 4, register 6. This organization is for user
convenience, to allow immediate single button effect recall from ten dif-
ferent registers, and for clearing, copying, and saving to and from disk
banks of registers with a single operation.
Multiple Keyframes and Timelines
A timeline is an arrangement of keyframes in linear time order. A multiple
keyframe effect contains a series of two or more keyframes on a timeline.
Each keyframe has a position on the timeline, specifying its location in time
in the effect. The time span from one keyframe to the next keyframe can be
considered that keyframe’s duration. The sum of these durations generally
determine the total duration in time of the effect.
When a multiple keyframe effect is recalled from an E-MEM register, only
its first keyframe is loaded into the Work Buffer (
Figure 34 ). This is exactly
the same as the recall of a single keyframe effect.
