Advanced
The final option in the Cue Macros window is Advanced. This allows
for macros to be typed in using the on-screen keyboard or external
keyboard. As you start to type into the text field, the console will
suggest commands, or warn you of invalid commands.
The following commands can be used:
Gx Trigger Playback x
Sx Pause Playback x
Rx Release Playback x
Tx/y Trigger Playback/Cue
Nx/y Make Playback/Cue Next
Mx Macro x
DMx Don't Move - follow with required attribute letters
If more than one of these is needed for a cue, use a colon : as a
delimiter between each command.
Sometimes it is useful to record completely blank cues, that control no lights themselves, but trigger other
playbacks or macros. This means that all methods of triggering cues, such as MIDI, can be used to trigger macros.
Chases
When you program multiple cues onto a playback, rather than this
playback behaving as a cue stack, instead it can become a chase. A
chase simply means the cues in the playback will automatically run
one after the other in sequence, rather than pressing a go button to
advance through them. If you go to record a second cue onto a
playback, you will receive the popup shown. This allows you to choose
"Create Chase", to create the second cue of your chase. You can then
create another lighting state, record this to your playback you chose to
become a chase, and this will be stored as the third cue of the chase.
You will not receive a popup again, as the console now knows you are
building a chase.
When you record cues onto a playback behaving as a chase, you can
view it in the Cues window, just like any other playback. You can do
this by holding View, and tapping your chase's button. You will notice
this playback has (Chase) shown at the top.
