Apex and the rate wheel

Question

Hi there, 
 since i can't find any other place to talk about i create one ; ) 
 
 The new Desk is nice. 
 But since i use the Rate Wheel more and more... i missed it on the Apex. 
 How will i fast forward or slow down my Cues in the Future on an Apex Desk? 
 
 Did someone found a Rate-Button? 
 
 yours

Faders can be configured to be Rate Master now. With the extra benefit that you can "feel" where your rate is based on the position of the fader handle.

You can learn a macro for this. It's quite simple if you move the fader close to 50 before starting to learn the macro. Start the learn process and move the fader to or across 50 and stop learning. In the macro editor you can now see multiple FaderMove commands. Find the one with 50 and delete the rest. 
 
 On a magic sheet this can be used in a command object

If you map the cuelist to regular faders (you can map it to these faders as well as to the main fader pair) you can access the rate fader through syntax. This has the advantage that you can type the macro in the editor rather than learning it with FaderMove. 
 
 Since this is regular command line syntax this can be used in a magic sheet command object as well.

This might not exactly be what you're looking for. It's actually the reason why I didn't list this syntax. If fader 1/2 is part of a x2 or x3 grouped fader this syntax will home all faders of that group, not only 1/2.

There currently isn't a way to change the time.
