Macro to fire a Q in a seperate cue list

Hey,

So I have a question which it definitely feels like I should know the answer to, but here we are.

I'm working with an Ion merrily firing video Q's on a catalyst machine using Midi Transmit. I've no problems firing the those cues side by side, they're just using my cue numbers etc.

We wanted to make a macro which would fire a "Shutters Off" or "Shutters On" cue for emergencies, and it seemed the simplist way to do this would be to create a seperate Q list 11 with 11/1 nad 11/2 being those Qs. We've successfully manually fired them from command line, so we know the connection is good, but that of course kills my LX state on stage. I tried a few different ways to have the macro fire the individual cues but nothing as yet has worked.

Is there a really simply command I've missed in the macro editor? Or am I essentially left with putting the list on a sub and manually bumping each Q? which of course is not ideal.

Hopefully I'm just so distracted jumping in and out of the editor as we're focusing that I've missed something simple.

  • It doesn't seem to be working, either using the laguage catalyst uses so:

    cue/1:11/start

    or eos

    cue/11/1/start

    I've used string with Qlab before and not had a problem, so it's a little odd.

    I could just use the bump button on the fader, but that feels a little rustic when I'm sure a macro could do it. 

    Taking Midi out of the equation, all I need to do is fire Q 11/1 or Q 11/2 on demand without it effecting playback.
