Special Macro Functions
Some commands are available to perform special functions within macros. These include
Macro Wait for inserting pauses in macros, some specific submaster functions, and
ETCLink functions.
Macro Wait
Macro Wait commands may be entered at any point in a macro, and you may have more
than one Macro Wait within a single macro. To program a pause in a macro, press [Macro
Wait] , type the amount of time you want to have the macro pause and press [Enter] . You
can then continue to enter macro commands, if necessary. Macro Waits can be
programmed from 0.1 seconds to 99:59 minutes.
Submaster Functions
Submaster functions within macros include commands to turn submaster bump buttons on
and off, as well as a special function to force-load an active submaster without having to
pull the fader down. To insert these commands in a macro in the Macro Editing display,
press:
• [S1 - On Sub-Bump] then type the submaster number and press [Enter] .
• [S2 - Off Sub-Bump] then type the submaster number and press [Enter] .
• [S5 - Force Sub Load] then type the submaster number and press [Enter] .
To include a command to start a timed submaster, or change the direction of a running fade,
simply press the actual submaster bump button while programming the macro.
ETCLink Functions
You can perform some ETCLink functions within macros, including Record Backup Look,
and Play Backup Look. These commands are only accessible from the Key List and cannot
be learned. To insert these commands in the Macro Editing display, press [S8 - Key List]
and find the RecdLook- and the PlayLook- commands. Type their command number and
press [Enter] to insert them in your macro.
