MagicQ User Manual 196 Version 1.4.9.0
The timing type can be changed after the macro has been recorded – however if external time code timing
is required then this should be selected before the macro is recorded. This enables the console to record
the key and button presses according to the received time code signal.
Times can be modified in the View Data view of the Macro Window using the keypad and Encoder E.
Multiple items in the macro can be changed at one time using SHIFT and the cursor keys to select the
items.
When using time code timing, the + and – operators can be used to offset the timing of a sequence of
items.
21.4.3 In built Macros
MagicQ supports a number of in-built macros which carry out common programming key sequences
including quite a few that would normally require multiple key presses or simulataneous pressing of more
than one key. The In-built Macros can be useful on touch systems where it is not possible to touch 2 keys
at one time.
Press the In built Macro soft button and choose the macro to assign to the current item in the Macro
Window.
