MACROS
The CP-1 can store up to 50 macros each with up to 99 steps. A macro is a list of scenes, chases and blackouts
which are automatically called one at a time in order. Each item on the macro list is referred to as a step. A hold time
is also stored with each macro step which determines the amount of time that will elapse until the next macro step is
automatically called. This allows you to pre-program an entire show that will loop continuously .
Programming Macros
To program a macro first press “Enter” then “Macro”. The display will read:
MACRO_
SCN
STEP 01
HOLD
Use the cursor keyswitches to move the underline cursor on the display to the lower left corner of the display underneath
the word “SCN”. If the first step is to be a scene, press “Enter” and the cursor will move to the scene number. If instead
you want to put a chase at this step press any of the numbered keyswitches to toggle the selection from “SCN” to “CHS”.
If you want to put a blackout at this step first set the “Xfade Speed” fader to the desired crossfade speed for the blackout
then press “Black”. After selecting “SCN”, “CHS” or “SCN BLK” press “Enter”. The cursor will move to the next field which
selects the scene or chase number. Use the number keyswitches to select the desired scene or chase for this step. If
you have selected a blackout for this step “BLK” will be displayed next to “SCN” and no additional selection is necessary.
Press “Enter”. The cursor will now move to the next field which selects the hold time for this step. Use the keyswitches to
enterthe hold time in seconds (1-999). Press “Enter”. The cursor will return to the left of the display and will automatically
increment to the next step number allowing you to repeat the previous operation for the next macro step.
Once all steps have been programmed, press “Enter” repeatedly or use the cursor keys until the underline cursor moves
back to the top line of the display next to the word “Macro”. Select a number to assign the macro from 1 -50 using the
keyswitches. Press “Enter” again to store the macro at that location. If there is already a macro at that location the
display will read:
MACRO 01 EXISTS,
ENTER OR CHANGE
Press “Enter” to write over that location or select a new location and press “Enter”.
Recalling Macros
Once a macro has been stored in memory it can be recalled by pressing “Macro”. The display will read:
SELECT MACRO_
Select the desired macro with the keyswitches then press “Go”. The display will read:
MACRO 01 STEP 01
SCN 001 HOLD 010
The display will change with each step of the macro showing the current step and what is stored there. The hold time will
also count down on the display showing the time remaining until the next step call.. While it is running, you can pause
the macro by pressing the “-” key then continue by pressing “ +”. “Go” will advance the macro to the next step.
