Macro Parameters
Macros have the following parameters:
Auto Fader
If you select a group of faders, and create a macro from them, checking this box will
make them behave as if they were cabled serially.
Show All
This checkbox determines which objects remain visible when integrated into a macro.
When checked, all objects will be visible (assuming the macro is not resized to hide
some of them). When unchecked, only fader, monitors, ornament, and keyboard
objects will be visible. You can change this checkbox at any time.
No Reset
This checkbox, when active, prevents the macro from responding to reset messages
(set in Preferences > MIDI > Reset Messages).
Protected
Enable to protect a macro. Protected macros can not be unpacked, so ensure that
you’ve made a copy of the objects and cabling before creating a protected macro.
Faders
Faders are used to send MIDI events by clicking or click-dragging on them. Faders
come in different forms (knobs, sliders, numerical, and buttons). Fader objects respond
to incoming MIDI events.
To create a new fader:
m Choose New > Fader.
A sub-menu appears, where you may select the style of fader you want. There’s also a
sub-menu at the bottom named Special, used to select various special fader types
(cable switcher, meta-fader, and so on).
The style of a fader determines its onscreen appearance (slider, knob, menu, numerical),
and how it responds to the mouse (click and drag, double-click and type a number,
click, and select from a menu).
