Macro writing

I've trying to learn a bit more about writing macros which give me short ways to change something during the running show! for example setting a fader to "solo" function.

i record a macro and before this i had open my fader settings to push only the "solo" function. just keep it short as possible...

so far so good. Set the macro timing and duration to 0 sec. record a cue to fire it up. the strange is, it doesn't work until i open the fader and it's options!

what am i doing wrong???

macros for changing timings and so are working fine!

    Like the name of the macro says: KEYSTROKE Macro....
    I think this explains it all... You record button-presses, and the consoles plays back those button-presses, no matter if it is a hard or soft button...
    So 0 sec. won´t work in a lot of situations, also if you have to use double press or so there is a certain amount of time to recognize if it is a double press or the button is pressed twice

    Colin: it would be lovely... but as for soft buttons there is only the location (x/y parameters of touchscreen) stored, this will only work when you open the view...
    To have this be done I think you must convert the macro into a "process" itself, like an executable file... Cause it is just button-presses....
