18. Configuring Custom Logical Behaviour
18.14 Logic -> Macro
A
Macro
element assigns the logical states which will action the 32 macro functions handled by the
Macro
Editor
software.
18.14.1 Macros: Overview
Macros are supported by
sapphire
and
POWER CORE
systems. They can be used to action a series of
complex functions, or to interchange functions between systems.
Each macro can operate any element defined within the system configuration; up to 32 macros may be operated
from each console at any one time. To trigger a macro, it is assigned to a logic element such as an MF Key,
GPI, etc. Thus, it is possible to execute multiple operations at the push of a button.
Macros are assembled using the
Macro Editor
. The programme allows you to define "macro sets", each
consisting of 32 macro definitions. You may create different macro sets for different types of work - for example
On Air, Recording, etc. At any time, you can transfer a macro set to any system within your studio network,
where it is stored separately from the system configuration and loads on boot up.
In systems with a redundant Master Board, then the macro definitions must be transferred to both Master
Boards.
You can transfer a new macro set without restarting the system. This allows you to modify macros while the
system is running online.
The
Macro Editor
serves exclusively for the definition of macros; it does not provide the actual functions. Each
macro is referenced to elements within the system configuration. Thus, macros can only be executed when
loaded to a console with the corresponding system configuration.
