NUMBERPAD

(NUM

LOCK

ON)

Having covered the alternate (NUM LOCK off) numberpad button

functions, let’s consider the value of the

Numberpad

in connection

with running macros.

Any macro can be triggered by pressing a three-digit number
sequence on any of the

Numberpads

on the control surface. Simply

open the

Macro Configuration

surface

in TriCaster’s

Live Desktop

,

and

select a macro from the list; click a

Listen

box at the bottom of the

surface, then type a three digit number, such as 123.

Each

Numberpad

on the control surface is treated independently.

Thus the very same numeric entry can trigger different macros from
the

Numberpads

in different stripes.

For 4-Stipe, which has three

Numberpads

, this means you have direct

access to nearly 3000 different macros.

Hint: If you start to enter a number, then change your mind, simply
press any button outside the number pad to cancel the entry.

SECTION 22.5
