Storing and Using Macros

289

Begin writing the sequence of button presses and events for the macro record. When you have
finished with the series of events and button presses, press the [Learn] key again to exit macro
learn mode.

Examples of a macro record function include:

[Learn] [1] [Enter] [Go To Cue] [Out] [Time] [0] [Enter] [Learn] - records macro 1 with the

go to cue out command.

[Learn] [5] [Enter] [1] [Full] {Chan Check} [Enter] [Learn] - records macro 5 with channel

1 at full in channel check mode. To check the next channel in the list, press [Next].

[Learn] [4] [Enter] [-] [Sub] [Record] [Learn] - records macro 4 with instructions to record

a target excluding all submaster data.

[Learn] [2] [Enter] [-] [Group] [6] [Color] [Record] [Learn] - records macro 2 with

instructions to record a target excluding the color data from group 6.

You can also create a macro in live that bumps submasters across fader pages but first you must
have content assigned to the submasters.

For Example:

Write submasters 1 through 5 and 15 through 17, each with its own channel selections at

100%. Then press:

[Learn] [1] [Enter] [Bump1] [Bump2] [Bump3] [Bump4] [Bump5]

[Fader Page]

[Bump15] [Bump16] [Bump17] [Learn]

Once you have created the macro from Live in [Learn] mode, you can easily edit the sequence
from the macro editor display.

See “Macro Editor Display” on page 290.
