Master Macro Toggle

So I have an interesting quandary.

 I have a cue list that is my channel check, list 99. The last cue in this list exicutes the preset for the show, which is on list 1. I like to run my channel check from the RFR but here is my issue. When I load Q form the RFR in playback mode it loads list 99 into the master fader pair and puts my show list into one of the faders on my wing. How form the RFR do I run a que list that is assigned to a playback master on the wing? I have written a macro that is just the button press of the master fader that list 99 is loaded to,and it works ok. But the issue that I have with this is that there is no way to tell the handle on the wing to go to go to 100, from the RFR. Any ideas?

  • I'm assuming you are using the "execute cue" command at the end of your lamp check cue list.  Try using an "execute macro" instead. 

    Write a macro that will load the show cue list onto the master pair, followed by a macro wait time that is the same duration as the final cue in the lamp check.  Then a go command to finish the macro and put you in preset.  I tried this on the OLE and it worked fine.

    ie: "LoadCue <n/n> enter macro_wait <time> enter go" 

    you can do without the macro wait and the go - this will then load the preset cue into the master pair and you can trigger it manually.  Alternatively, you can manually load the show cuelist onto the master pair via the RFR [LoadQ n .. n go]  (note [..] on the RFR willl place a "/" on the command line and allow you to specify the cuelist/cue) 

    Hope that helps!
