Macros – a technical note
Macros are written in the industry standard Python language, and are stored as simple
files in the DMXIS installation folder:
Windows - C:/Program Files/ENTTEC/DMXIS/Macros
OS X - /Library/Application Support/ENTTEC/DMXIS/Macros
New macros can easily be added by creating new folders and .py files under this location.
A separate programming guide will be made available on the ENTTEC website to explain
how to develop your own macros. This will obviously require at least a basic knowledge of
the Python language.
FOOTSWITCH PREFERENCES
This window is accessed from the standalone DMXIS program (Footswitch - Footswitch
Settings menu on OS X, File - Footswitch Settings menu on Windows). The settings applied
here will also be used for the DMXIS plug-in.
Single or dual footswitches can be used with DMXIS. This dialog box lets you configure up
to three different actions for each switch.
Switch type
Change to match the type of switch connected. (Note: sustain pedals for Roland, Yamaha
or Kawai keyboards are usually normally-closed.)
