Recording Macros
A macro may contain both hard-key and soft-key keystrokes, but cannot
record fader or trackball functions. A macro may contain up to 64
keystrokes. You may "nest" macros by using another macro inside a macro;
both will be executed with a single keystroke.
Macros are recorded literally as a series of keystrokes. When you record a
level setting command such as [1] [THRU] [10] [AT] [FULL], the macro
will work in any display that accepts that command syntax. If you want to
have the macro work only in a designated display, such as Stage, press the
display key as the first keystroke in the macro.
Be aware that different displays can interpret the same keystrokes
differently. For example, the command [12] [AT] [5] [ENTER] has
different results in the Stage and Patch displays. In the Stage display it sets
channel 12 at 50%, while in the Patch display it patches channel 12 to
dimmer 5. This is why you should usually start the macro with a display
key.
To end a macro recording, the macro hard-key which is the same number
as the macro selected for record must be pressed.
For example, to create a macro which automatically clears all levels from
the Stage display:
1. Press [SETUP] (Macro) Opens Macro sub-display
2. Press [4] Menu item 4: Macro Number
3. Enter macro number [1]
4. Press [1] Menu item 1: Record Macro
Initiates macro 1 recording
5. Press [STAGE] Note "Macro Recording"
at top of display
6. Press [ENTER] [AT] [00] [CLEAR]
7. Press macro key [M1] Ends recording
