Click Macros to show a menu containing a Configure Macros item. This opens a large panel that allows to you
create, organize, and even edit macros.
SECTION 17.1
CREATING MACROS
FIGURE 212
Creating a new macro is simple. Select a folder in the Folders column at left to contain the new entry (or add
one, using the New Folder button below), then click the New Macro button below the Macros Bin at right.
Continue to define the macro by clicking the Record button at the bottom of the panel, and then just go ahead
and perform the sequence of operations you wish to include in the macro. You can use mouse, keyboard, and
Control Surface operations when doing so.
When finished, click the Stop button to complete recording. Test the new macro by clicking the Play button.
You’ll notice that an animated bar in the background of the macro entry in the list tracks playback progress.
Of course, you can modify the playback rate using the menu next to the Record button. You can even set
macros to loop using the button at extreme right.
17.1.1 SPEED AND SNAPSHOT MODE
The Speed menu lets you modify the playback rate of your macro. One option in the
Speed menu bears explanation: When you choose Snapshot as the macro’s speed, you
essentially force it to jump to its end result as fast as the system can get there.
Snapshot mode is very useful for macros that configure the system to a particular state.
