Shutter/frame control from magic sheets

I have a visual layout of shutter frames on a magic sheet, mapped to macros which select the relevant frame. This means I can touch the top shutter and then type @50 to bring that frame half in, for example. This is quite clumsy, though, because I would have to touch that macro again to make a new edit to the parameter.

I also have macros for all four shutters and e.g top and bottom. Is there a way to map the selected parameters to a single encoder so they move together evenly?

Additionally, is there a way to reference user input elsewhere in the macro? e.g. to get "Group preset <input x> recallfrom <x> enter"

thanks

no, unfortunately you can't re-use user input in a macro.

to help with your shutter challenge:
1) Shift+At will bring the last selection including the parameter back to the command line
2) the +% and -% keys (or Shift + and Shift - ) will affect the parameter of the last selection. if you set them to 1% in setup, you can move the shutters in and out

if you have all 4 shutters in the command line, with +% and -% they will all move at the same time. not an encoder, but maybe something that helps.

I posted a small Macro array for this kind of thing on the Alienstagecraft website. It's not the greatest set of Macros ever - but it would give you some direction in how one person went about it. I do use them all the time.

Integrated into a Magicsheet they look better
