Macros
Overview
Macros can be assigned to any button on the control surface. When macros are assigned to the
Macro Buttons on the control surface they can have an associated “bitmap” added to the OLED
button display.
Masterpiece macros are recorded in real time. This means that macros record functions behind
buttons, rather than just the button press. This allows creation of simple multi-button
operations to complex effects and transitions, which include; Pbus, GPOs and DMEM loading,
clip playing and VDCP.
Setting Up Macros
Macros are saved within the Filing System. The buttons functions are assigned within the
Panel Config. Although the macros themselves are run and activated in the mainframe the
buttons are associated with the Panel Config.
As mentioned earlier, macros are recorded as a sequence of button presses in real time, which
in turn are translated into a sequence of actions. The delay between these functions (button
presses) can be tested and edited once the recording is completed. Once a macro is running if
it is run a second time halfway through the macro run sequence, it will instantly start from the
beginning.
Note: A Menu Operation is not recorded as a macro but any direct action
within menus will be (e.g. a Pbus trigger).
