I am curious about what Macros programmers are building and using for Cobalt. To be specific, I am not talking about Action Macros, but regular macros.
I realize that I use hardly any macros. Mostly, I find that I don't build macros because I don't have many commands that are more button presses than calling a macro.
For example, I took over a show on an EOS platform. There were macros for {Home Color} & {Save with autoblock clean-up}. There were some macros for grabbing fixtures and putting them in a couple of basic focus looks. There was a start-up & shutdown macro.
Now, I choose not to use a start-up or shutdown macro, because the act of running through the operations keeps all of the channels and/or outputs to turn on fresh in my mind. I did build a start-up and shutdown macro for one venue when I was setting up a system for them.
The home color macro was a real time saver on the Ion XE that I was working on, but obviously on Cobalt it isn't needed. We don't have to worry about Auto-Block, so not needed either.
Thanks,
John
