Is there a way to change effects with a Next and Last option In order to preview effects one after another?

Question

Hello. Is there a way to create a macro or to do it on the console itself where you can preview effects by choosing Next and Last? What I would like to do is select a group or channel and be able to move through my effects one after another without having to type each effect number in.

If you have your effects on direct selects, you could write a macro that stops the effect and then waits for you to select or type the next effect you want to run. Could look like this: 
 
 Line 1: [Select Last] [Effect] [Enter] 
 
 ***if you have effects on direct selects*** 
 Line 2: [Select Last] 
 And then you would select the effect direct select that you want to run. 
 
 ***if you want to manually type the effect number*** 
 Line 2: [Select Last] [Effect] 
 And then you would type the effect number followed by [Enter]

The other option I can think of is make a macro for every single effect that would stop the current effect and then apply the desired effect. Could look something like this: 
 
 Line 1: [Select Last] [Effect] [Enter] 
 Line 2: [Select Last] [Effect] (effect #) [Enter] 
 
 However, that would be a lot of macros that only have 1 function each which isn't very practical and would take a lot of work to write, and thus probably not be worth the hassle.
