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.

  • 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.
