Macro Help

I am trying to right a macro that will take me to Q0 on a cue list and not effect the list that is currently playing.

Scenario:

 

-I am using List 99 (loaded into a playback fader on my ION wing) as my Chanel Checkout list.

-The last Q in the list (200) executes Q 1/0.5 with a delay of 15:00, so that when the house is open the preset is up.

So I want to also link to a maco that will rest List 99 to Q 0. But the only way that I know how to do that on the ION is to press and hold Fader Controls. Press More SK. Press Go To Q (soft key). Then press the load buttons for the master fader I want the list in. Since it is one the wing I have to press bot the GO and Stop/Back buttons simultaniously.


I am guessing that I cannot do this in one macro. That I am going to have to play with several macros and make one that runs them in a sequence. The bassis of this is that I cannot figure out how to create a maco command that will press and hold the Fader Commands button.

Any thoughts on this?

  • Hey Ben,

    I did a show where I had my ML checkout in a separate list loaded into a fader. This was great during tech; when I came in in the morning, I could quickly run my MLs through their paces, but once I passed the show off to the Electrician he wanted to be able to run the checkout while standing on stage with the RFR, but the GO button only relates to the A/B fader. So I ended up writing the following two macros as a workaround to release the Main Cuelist from the AB (Master) fader and then loaded the checkout list into the AB fader, ran the checkout and then released that list and loaded the Main Cuelist again:

    To load the checkout:

    Release 0

    Macro_Wait .3

    Fader_AB 

    Macro_Wait .3

    Cue 10/1

    Macro_Wait .3

    Fader_AB

    Then I could use the GO button on the RFR to go through the checkout. At the end of the checkout, I fired another macro which was the same as the above except it loaded Cue 1/1.

    I realize this isn't ideal, but I hope it helps.

    Cheers,

    Marc

    You can also write a macro (Go to Cue 99/0).  If you put that into cue 99/200, along with your execute instruction for cue 1/1... it should work fine.  I just tested it.  Because 99/0 has no move instructions, it will not steal control back from 1/1.
