My ION does not fire macros linked to cues since 2.3.1 update

I have  been having sporadic success executing macros linked to cues since the 2.3.1 update. Is there a setting iI missed somewhere?

  • hi. Are you still seeing an issue? If so, can you email your show file to eos@etcconnect.com. Indicate please the cues that you are seeing an issues with?
    Thanks much.

  • There is also a Macro defect fixed in the 2.3.2 beta that is available online. It specifically fixes macros that trigger submaster 11, or Playback 11. Let us know if 2.3.2 fixes your macro issues.
  • I have not needed this feature for the last few shows but I can tell you more specifics on the problems I was having at the time. I was using a channel to fire a MIDI trigger for Isadora projection software (something I have done on many shows that preceded this update). The macro(I used #1) linked to cues would bring the channel to 50 wait briefly and return it to 00. It worked perfectly when I manually executed the macro through keystrokes but not always when linked to cues. The misfires were about 10% of the time and never on the same cues. Through the various diagnostics on the projection software I was able to see the gaps in received messages. I only recently discovered the ION's diagnostic tab and figured it would be how I confirmed sent side of the message next time I try to use this feature. I will install the newest update and see if that resolves this issue. Thanks for your help on this.
