Storing and Using Macros 407
{Foreground}
When a macro in foreground mode is run manually, it runs on the device that fired it
and affects its command line.
If a foreground mode macro is fired via show control, it runs on the master device and
will affect its command line.
If a cue fires the macro, it will run on the device whose user last pressed [Go] on that
playback. If a foreground macro is fired from a cue that is executed from another cue
list, the macro will run on the device that last pressed [Go] on the cue’s playback but
not the playback that triggered the executed cue.
{Target Device} - A macro can have a Target Deviceassigned to it. This allows a cue to execute
a macro only on a certain console.
The Target Device can be a device name or User ID. These are assigned to a macro in the
Macro Display by using the {Target} softkey and either selecting {Device} and {User}.
Pressing {Target} will also display a list of connected devices and additional target
options.
{SC Learn} - enables or disables excluding specific macros from being learned as show control
events. See Adding Events using Learn Mode(on page508) for more information.
Create a New Macro from the Display
From the macro editor display, enter any unrecorded macro number from 1 to 99,999 and press
[Enter]. Your new macro number will display in the macro list in numerical order but will not have a
label or any contents.
To store the macro contents, select the macro and press {Edit}. A cursor appears flashing in the
macro content detail portion of the display, ready for you to add the macro content.
For Example:
Create macro 3. Write the instruction to set all active channels to 50%, then sneak them to
their original levels over 10 seconds and last, link to macro 5.
<Macro> [3] [Enter]
{Edit}
[Select Active] [At] [5] [Enter]
[Sneak] [Time] [1] [0] [Enter]
[Macro] [5] [Enter]
[Select]
While in macro edit mode, all keys are entered as content except the macro editor softkeys, arrow
keys, [Escape], [Select] and [Learn] keys.
Edit an Existing Macro
When you have created a macro using macro learn mode from live or otherwise, you can edit the
content of your macro by removing or adding commands and special macro softkey functions (such
as wait, loop, and so on).
From the macro editor display, select an existing macro number and press [Enter]. The selected
macro contents will display the detail section. Press {Edit} to make changes to the content.
