Simple "Go" and "Back" macros: trouble with "Back"

On my Ion, I want to write simple "Go" and "Back" macros to trigger whatever cuelist I have loaded on the master fader. I want to use these as events so the gaffer can hold a little two-button momentary switch I made and trigger and back a cuelist via the analog input. Got the "Go" macro to work fine, just by deleting the cuelist number (which automatically populates) in the macro editor. It reads, "Go_Cuelist Fader Master_User". However, the "Back" macro, recorded similarly, doesn't work. Just recording a "Back" command live records a "Back" command in the macro, that doesn't trigger it, I tried adding "Fader" and Master_User" commands after, that also doesn't work. Suggestions?

  • Okay, issue solved, sort of... although it appears that you can record a generic "Go Master Fader" macro, it still seems to be tied to the specific cue list which was active when it was written. So my solution will be to edit the Go & Back macros to reflect the current cue list when I want to use the remote trigger. Here it is in all its glory. (Actually a prototype of pine, the real one will be mahogany). Using standard 5-pin data cable, though I only need pins 1, 2, and 3 for this application (+12v, contact 1, and contact 2. Works great! Possible next version to include a lock-out switch on the +12v side, to prevent accidental triggers.
