Is there any way to automise a button triggering a command in a magic sheet with a macro?

Hey guys!

Maybe someone can tell me a workaround or function that im overlooking right now...

I am using an ETC ION as control console and trigger a lot of video cue in qlab. This is done with OSC Strings. To get a failure free setup i'm using a Filter on my ION, done with a button in my magic sheet.

(Button with command: local:/eos/filter/add/cue/*) 

This Setup works really good for me, i never had any lost trigger signals.

Heres my question: is there any way to automise this command with a macro?

Can i write a macro to press a button in a magic sheet or is there any other way to get to the same outcome?

Also is there a way to toggle the OSC Input/Output in the diagnostic window on auto ON? Or do i have to manually press these buttons every time i startup my console?

I would like to always be able to see what i am sending.

Thanks for your help, im looking forward to learn something new!

  • Instead of a macro that presses a magic sheet button (which you can't do), you could use a macro to send the same OSC string as the command button does. That should work for you, right?

    Create a new macro. In the macro editor look for the button Send_String. As soon as you insert it into your macro the on-screen keyboard opens and you can enter the OSC command you want to send.

    There is currently no way to enable the two OSC logging buttons in your diagnostic tab without manually clicking them.
