Editing Macros
Once a macro is programmed and stored in memory it can be edited and re-stored at any time. You can change the
scene or chase number as well as the hold time at any step. You can remove steps, add or insert steps. You can also
modify a macro and copy it to a different location, keeping the original while creating a new one.
To edit a macro, press “Enter” then “Macro”. The display will read:
MACRO SCN
STEP 01 HOLD
Use the keyswitches to select the macro that you want to edit. The selected macro will be copied into an edit buffer
where you can make changes to it without affecting the original which will still be stored in battery backed memory.
After the macro has been selected, use the cursor keys to move the underline cursor underneath the step number.
Select the step that you want to edit using the keyswitches. When a step is selected the display will show the information
that is stored at that step. If you want to change anything at that step, move the cursor until it is underneath the item you
wish to change then use the keyswitches to enter a new value. Press “Enter” after each new entry. If you continue to
press “Enter” the cursor will move to each item on the step display. If you do not want to change that item, press “Enter”
and the cursor will move on then automatically increment to the next step. If you don’t need to edit the next step keep
pressing “Enter” until the cursor returns to the macro number on the top line. To store the edited macro at the same
location press “Enter” again. If you are copying the macro to another location, select a different macro number before
pressing “Enter”.
To add more steps to the end of a macro, first load the macro into the edit buffer as explained above. Move the cursor
to the step number on the display and select the step number that is one higher than the last step in the macro. The
scene and hold numbers will be blank for that step. Move the cursor under “SCN” if you want to change it to “CHS”.
Press “Enter”. The cursor will automatically move to the next field so that you can enter the scene or chase number
and finally the hold time for the new step. After entering a hold time and pressing “Enter” the display will automatically
increment allowing you to enter more steps to the end of the macro. When you are finished continue to press “Enter” or
use the cursor keys to return the cursor to the macro number. Press “Enter” again to overwrite the old macro or select a
new location then press “Enter”.
To delete steps from a macro, load the macro into the edit buffer as explained above. Select the step number that you
want to delete by putting the cursor under the step number in the display and selecting the desired one. Press “Delete”.
That step will be deleted from the macro and any steps above that one will move down to the next lower step number.
The display will show that the values that were at the next step have now moved down to the step that you have just
deleted. If the step you deleted was the last step of the macro, the scene and hold field will go blank showing that there
is now nothing at this step. Finally you must store the edited macro as explained previously.
To insert a macro step into the middle of an existing macro, first load the macro into the edit buffer as explained. Call
the step number where you want to insert the new step by moving the cursor under the step number in the display and
selecting the desired step. Press “Insert”. A blank step will be inserted at this step number and any steps above this one
will be moved up one step number. Move the cursor over to the scene field which will be blank. Select the scene, chase
or blackout to insert at this location then press “Enter”. Enter a new hold time and press “Enter”. The step number will
automatically increment and you can insert another step by moving the cursor back to the step number and repeating
the previous operation. Finally you must store the edited macro.
