17.6. Macro Functions
Macros can be used to automate keystroke processes while in playback mode and repeat keystroke entries
while editing.
17.6.1. Recording Macros
To record a macro:
1. Press [3_B]MACRO [#] (if a # is not entered, macro will be recorded at next available number).
2. Press [REC]. ([3_B]MACRO LED begins to blink).
3. Press desired keys.
4. Press [3_B]MACRO [#] to end recording.
For example, to record a macro that loads an effect into a submaster:
Press [3_B]MACRO [#][REC][EFFECT][#][LOAD][S#][3_B]MACRO (to load and start the effect
immediately, press [S#] twice).
The macro table will open automatically in order to name the macro. To name the macro at later time,
press [3_B]MACRO [MD.FY] or [3_B]MACRO [#][OPTIONS].
17.6.2. Modifying Macros
To modify a macro:
1. Press [3_B]MACRO [#][MD.FY].
2. Select keystrokes to modify.
3. Press [EXIT] to save.
Sometimes it is quicker to simply delete the macro and create a new one.
17.6.3. Deleting Macros
To delete an individual macro from the data memory: Press [3_B]MACRO [#][DELETE].
To delete a range of macros from the data memory: Press [3_B]MACRO [#][THRU][#][DELETE].
To delete all the stored macros from the data memory: Press [3_B]MACRO [DELETE].
17.6.4. Executing Macros
When used to automate keystrokes in playback mode, a macro can be executed when it is associated to
a cue.
For example:
1. Press [CUE][CUE] to open the cues table and select the desired cue, then press [OPTIONS].
(or press [CUE][#][OPTIONS]).
2. Use the cursor to select the Command cell.
3. Select the MACRO command (option 1:).
4. Enter the desired macro number.
5. When the cue begins a cross-fade, the macro will be executed at the same time (e.g. a macro that can
load and activate an effect in a submaster when the cue starts).
When used for repeating keystrokes while editing, macros are executed directly from the keyboard. For
example: Press [3_B]MACRO [#][ENTER].
The console can also execute a recorded macro when power to the console is turned on. To select
a macro for power up, press [Menu][34]:Power-Up Macro.
