Creating a program using Learn Mode
Learn Mode allows you to record macro keys, submaster bump buttons
and fader [Go] keys into time code events as you go along. Because you
are making real-time decisions about the timing of events, you can record
a program live in Learn mode without specifying code times. When you
leave Learn Mode (press the Learn Mode softkey a second time), the
program is recorded with sorted event times.
Follow these steps to record a time code program in Learn mode.
